Child safety seat program available
A special needs child safety seat
loaner program is now available
through the TALN Project in Bend.
Recent year statistics show: Mo
tor vehicle crashes were the leading
cause of death for children aged 5
through 15; More than 360,000 chil
dren were injured and at least an
other 3,200 were killed in traffic ac
cidents; More than 250 lives would
have been saved had children been
properly secured inchild safety seats;
Motor vehicle crashes are one of the
primary causes of death and injury to
children 4 years & younger; Used
correctly, the National Highway Traf
fic Safety Admin, has concluded that
safety seats are: 71 effective in
preventing fatalities; 67 effective
in reducing the need of hospitaliza
tion; 50 effective in preventing
minor injury.
TALN is housed at Central Or
egon Community College, 2600 NW
College Way, Bend, OR 9770 1 (54 1 )
383-7785.
This loan program is the result of
a collaborated effort between the
Alliance for Community Traffic
Safety in Oregon (ACTS Oregon)
and the Child Safety Seat Resource
Center (CSSRC).
This is a statewide loaner pro
gram working to prevent traumatic
brain injury and spinal cord injury to
children with special needs, funded
by the Oregon Office of Disabilities
Prevention Project. Many infants and
older children have physical prob
lems that make the use of "regular"
infant and toddler car seats difficult,
impossible or unsafe.
The supply of safety seats are lim
ited. That are loaned on a first-come,
first-served basis.
For more information contact:
Denise Wyatt or Paula Poole of
TALN (Technology Access for Life
Needs) at 383-7785 (VTTY)

Youth walk through lunch, just like at school, and sit down to eat.
They eat well-balanced, nutritional meals and eat a healthy snack.
The 1 996 Summer Food Program,
in its second year, is sponsored by
Julie Quaid of the Early Childhood
Education Center in cooperation with
Site Manager, Fran Moses-Ahern of
the Recreation Department. The re
quest was made by Julie Quaid to the
Oregon Department of Education,
and she runs the administrative side
of the Program. As Site Manager,
Moses-Ahern sees that meals are
served to the children. This program
was started so that children would
have food during the day when they
are participating in activities at Sum
mer Recreation and any other activi
ties. Children are being served
healthy meals and snacks.
The summer food program began
June 24 with a record number of
children eating lunch. There were
1 33 that ate lunch on the first day
compared to 70 last year. Children
are to just show up, get their hand
stamped and go through the line for
their food. There is no need to pay or
sign up. Lunch is served from 1 1 :30
to 1 :00 p.m. and a snack is served at
3:00 p.m.
On Fridays the Summer Food Pro
gram prepares sack lunches for chil
dren signed up for Friday Field Trips
and regular lunch served at the Com
munity Center.
The meals are prepared at the ECE
kitchen, by cooks hired on contract,
and brought to the Community Cen
ter kitchen and served by the Sum
mer Recreation youth staff. Youth
staff were required to take food han
dlers training before they can serve
food. Quaid and Moses-Ahern saw
to all the requirements of the pro
gram. The cooks are employed at the
High School and worked the Sum
mer Food Program last year so they
were asked to work again, because
the lunch is to be served quickly.
They as cooks at the high school,
have the experience to do this. They
also have experience in menu prepa
ration. For each meal that is served by the
Summer Food Program the Early
Childhood Education center is reim
bursed by the Oregon Department of
Education. This is a tightly moni
tored program by requirements of
the Oregon Department of Educa
tion because with the reimbursements
the Summer Food Program is re
quired to purchase the groceries and
pay personnel and training expenses.
The Summer Food Service Pro
gram does not discriminate on the
basis of sex, age, color, race, handi
cap or national origin. If you feel you
have been discriminated against in
any USDA related activity contact:
The Office of the Secretary, USDA,
Washington, D.C. 20250.
The Summer Food Program will
run until August 9, 1996, Monday
through Friday, from 1 1 :45 to 1 :00
p.m.
For more information call Recre
ation Department at 553-3243.
Its one thing for an office to
require economically designed
workstations that encourage correct
posture and relieve the stress of
repetitive tasks by proper design and
positioning of seating, lighting,
terminal screens and keyboards. But
the ultimate success is highly
conditional on the way that Video
Display Terminal (VDT) operators
actually use the equipment.
Proper equipment and training are
not enough. The vast majority of
physical problems that people my
experience working with VDTs are
easily avoided.
To encourage proper work habits,
compare your work habits to this
checklist:
1. Seating: The majority of VDT
operations are performed from a
seated position. Proper posture is
essential to providing comfort,
accessibility to the keyboard and
freedom from fatigue:
Is the seat height adjusted so
your thighs are parallel to the floor
and free from pressure?
Are your feet flat on the floor?
Is the backrest adjusted to support
the small of your back?
2. Keyboard: Once the operator's
seating posture is correct, the
keyboard must be adjusted to provide
a good overall work posture:
Are your upper arms hanging
comfortably at your sides, with a 90
degree angle at the elbow?
Are your wrists relaxed and in
line with your forearms?
Are your forearms level with the
"home row" of the keyboard? If
necessary, you should use a padded
support under the wrists to keep them
level.
3. Visual Display Terminal: Just
as the keyboard must be adjusted to
the individual operator, so must the
VDT:
Is the screen clean?
Is the top of the screen slightly
below eye level and tilted upward?
Are the brightness and contrast
controls properly adjusted?
Is the VDT located no more than
40 degrees to either side of the straight
ahead position?
4. Viewing distance: The correct
viewing distance for any operator
will depend on the comfort of the
individual involved:
Is the screen-to-eye viewing
distance between 18" and 20"?
Is the screen at a similar distance
to both the keyboard and source
documents?
5. Source documents: A need to
change position, lean, swivel or
refocus to read source documents is
undesirable, especially in data entry
operation where these actions may
be unnecessarily repeated hundreds
of times daily:
Does the copy holder correspond
to the size of the source documents
referenced?
Is the copy holder a similar
distance from the keyboard and the
screen (18" to 20")?
Is the light intensity on the copy
holder, screen and keyboard
approximately equal?
6. Miscellaneous:
Alternating from on-screen to
off-screen tasks will reduce fatigue.
Frequently shift position and
exercise your legs, hips, arms, back
and neck.
If you have any problems or
questions, ask your supervisor.
Speakth under "Mini King" in children's pageant
Keyshawn Speakthunder, at three
months of age, is already a winner.
On June 9, Keyshawn's mother
Romelle Speakthunder, entered him
in the American Starlet Children's
pageant in Vancouver, Washington.
Keyshawn was determined to have
the most beautiful hair and was
awarded a trophy. He also was named
"Mini King" in his age division and
received a trophy, medallion, banner
and a $300 savings bond.
Keyshawn will now move on to
the American Starlet National com
petition in Indian Wells, California
which will begin August 14 and con
clude August 18.
Keyshawn's family must have 10
sponsors for the national finals.
Sponsors donate money which helps
defray the costs of traveling to and
entering the competition. It is esti
mated the family will need $1,500
for the August competition.
Sponsor's names will appear in the
program and they will receive a cer
tificate. A representative of Oregon and
Washington, Keyshawn will com
pete in various events. And, if he
wins, he will be eligible for many
prizes, including a $2,000 college
scholarship, a $1,000 savings bond,
a seven-foot winner's trophy, the
official Starlet crown, banner and
pin, a scepter, lodging for the 1997
national pageant finals plus many
other exciting gifts awarded
throughout the 1996 reign.
If interested in being a sponsor,
contact Keyshawn's mom at 553
