"Cold-Proofing"
Top 2 Tips for the Classroom
1. Keep the bleach and water
coming! Continually use a bleach
solution of 14 cup bleach to one
gallon of water to disinfect tables
and equipment. Leave to air dry or
wipe off with a paper towel. Either
use paper towels to wash tables or
change the rag you use often. Try to
avoid using a cloth towel for drying
- it can become contaminated with
germs.
2. Wash your hands. Washing
your hands is one of the best ways to
keep cold and flu germs from spread
ing throughout the classroom. Wash
before and after serving food, wiping
noses, using the bathroom, and clean
ing up toys.
3. Teach children to wash their
hands. Make sure children wash their
hands every time they use the bath
room, play with toys, play outside,
eat, and blow their nose.
4. Clean the tovs. While it's al
most impossible to keep all of the
toys clean all of the time, it's impor
tant to clean them with bleach or
soap and water, as often as possible.
An easy way is to fill a sink with
bleach and water and submerge a lot
of toys at once. Again, let the toys air
dry to prevent transporting germs via
a towel.
5. Don't share cups. Put up a
disposable cup dispenser in the bath
room or near the sink to teach chil
dren to use a clean paper cup when
they need a quick drink. And make
sure they know never to share cups
with others.
6. Stock up on tissues. Put tissue
boxes around the classroom for easy
access. Help children learn to take a
tissue when they sneeze, and to blow
their noses often when they have a
cold. Always make sure they wash
their hands immediately afterwards.
7. Trv to keep sick children sepa
rate, When a child is showing symp
toms of a cold or flu, try to put him or
her in a "get-well room" or a side
area to rest. Contact his or tier par
ents to arrange for when the child can
be picked up.
8. Encourage immunizations.
While immunization is usually a stan
dard requirement for enrollment, it's
a good idea to encourage parents
strongly to maintain their child's
immunization record and, when age
appropriate, get a flu shot if pre
scribed. 9. Give guidelines for keeping
sick children at home. There will be
times when children are too sick to
go to school but their parents bring
them anyway. Make it easy on your
self and parents by establishing a set
of criteria to follow for when to keep
a sick child home.

Greeting Tree
Give your children a big, warm
welcome. Have a "GREETING
TREE" on a low bulletin board or
wall near the cubbies.

To the editor,
My name is Lisa Zamora-Lomas I
am 732 Warm Springs, Wasco
Indian. My mother is Josephine
(Zamora) Tafoya and my father is
Leo Montiel. My adopted parents
and grandparents are Leola ( Yo-ham-e-lui)
Suppah Zamora and Fernando
Zamora. Even though my brother
and I were adopted by our
grandparents, they raised us to have
a close bonding with our parents,
both my brother and I respected our
grandparents wishes and are very
close to both our parents. I have one
sister Bonita Leonard and one brother
the late Mike "Little Mike" Zamora,
with whom I was raised with, and I
also have a sister named Marcella
Tish Clements who I had gotten to
know in later years due to her being
adopted outside our family. I also
have two children, one son E. J. Lomas
and one daughter Rochell Zamora.
My mother Josephine (Zamora)
Tafoya and my late adopted mother
and grandmother, Leola (Yo-ham-e-lui)
Suppah-Zamora are both enrolled
members of this Tribe. My father
Leo's mother, Jesse Montiel is an
enrolled member of a non-recognized
tribe in New Mexico.
I am employed at the Warm
Springs Tribal Court, and have been
employed there for the past three
years. With this job I am able to work
and service the Community and the
Tribe, and get to know my people at
the same time. It is a real honor to
work for the Tribe at a job that I
really enjoy doing.
1 know there is a residency
requirement of 3 years. I lived on the
Reservation from infancy to my 3rd
birthday, while my mother Josephine
worked at Kah-Nee-Ta. I would also
like for you to take into consideration
that I have lived in Madras for 27
years. My adoptive parents and
grandparents Leola (Yo-ham-e-lui)
Suppah-Zamora and Fernando
Zamora had purchased this home and
land from my great-grandmother,
DeliaLeClaire when they moved here
from Alameda, California. My
mother, Josephine and her brother
and sisters were raised in this home.
My brother, cousin and I also were
raised in this same home. I now own
this land that was willed to me by my
adoptive mother and grandmother,
Leola (Yo-ham-e-lui) Suppah
Zamora, and now raising my own
children in this home. This house I
am living in has gone through 3
generations of my family and it has a
lot of sentimental value to me as well
as to all my family.
Most of my relatives know where
the "Zamora" home is located at, and
some can't believe our family still
occupies this home for as long as we
have. Even the people who live in
Madras for some time can also tell
you where the "Zamora" home is
located at.
I have gone to school in Madras
with a lot of my relatives and have
made several friends with people who
are Tribal Members who I still keep
in close contact with.
The hobbies I enjoy are bead work,
I also help my mother in making
shawls and vests for memorials and
name gi vings. These are things that I
am now working on passing on to my
own children who are eager to learn.
My aunt Ellen Thompson has
helped our family out a lot in learning
and understanding the traditions and
beliefs of our Tribe. I and my family
really owe her a lot for teaching us,
she has been really patients with us
all.
I try to attend most of the
Powwows and take my children to
the youth and family activities such
as the penny carnivals, and family
fun nights and the employees picnic
the tribe has each year.

next day. Talk with your child about
what she might want to wear, any
papers that need to be returned to the
teacher, what she wants to put in her
backpack, etc.
Try to get up early enough in the
morning so you have lots of time.
Remcmbertolctyourchild wear
"work" clothes to school - comfort
able clothes that can get dirt, paint,
and playdough on them.
Plan to stay for a few minutes
when you drop off and pick up your
child. He may want to show you
some things he plans to do that day or
share projects he's completed.
Plan a regular juice break when
you arrive home. Take a few min
utes to relax and discuss what you
and your child have done during the
day. Other times bring juice to enjoy
on the playground or at a park on
your way home.
Start a SCHOOL JOURNAL.
Send a notebook to school with your
child. Print his name and your day
time phone number in it. Corre
spond with us by writing notes or
responding to notes we've written to
you in your child's notebookjournal.

To the editor,
My personal experience as client
and as a Counselor of the nationally
known Weight Loss Clinic, I know
what it takes for you to lose weight in
a fast, supportive and positive way.
I created THE CELEBRITY
"REZ" DIET program to fit the needs
of the people who live and work in
our community. With this in mind, I
devised the program to begin with a
QUICK weight loss at the very be
ginning. Because I know what it's
like to really work hard to stay with
a diet program and see very minimal
results or nothing at all after a week
or so. I'd get discouraged and go
back to my old behaviors...sounds
familar?
With this diet you'll see results
right away to encourage you to stay
with your diet! You'll also receive
my personal support and counseling,
plus the support of others whom may
be signed up with you.
THE CELEBRITY "REZ" DIET
program can be used as a pre-DIET
diet, a plateau breaker, as a quick
way to lose 5-10 pounds to fit back
into those jeans that are getting too
tight after splurging during a vaca
tion or holiday, or before attending a
special affair or occasion like a wed
ding or high school reunion.
All you have to do is commit to
FOUR days! You'll eat chicken,
steak, hamburger, delicious fruits and
crisp veggies, all prepared and served
to you by me, support and counsel
ing, a personal weight analysis and
menu plan to help you maintain the
weight you lost andor set up to start
a long-term weight loss program de
signed for you to lose 1-2 pounds
week until you've reached your goal
weight!
I want to give my clients the best
possible results for their money, so
I'll be enrolling ONLY 4-6 clients at
a time. Sounds exciting? Then what
are you waiting for sign up today!

Proud congratulations shared
To the editor,
Dear Family & community.
We would like to share with you
how proud we are of our Dad, Mark
Jackson, and tell him congratulations!
on you graduation from OSU. We
watched you in two years of hard
work and dedication, and the best
was watching you wearing your head

you received your Masters Degree at
the graduation ceremony.
Now our Dad has brought us back
home to Warm Springs and he has
gone back to work here in our com
munity. So join us in congratulating
our Dad, and hello! from all of us.
We're glad to be home.
The Jackson Kids,
Michael, Aiyana, Kalliah and
Halona
First Lady Sharon Kitzhaber,
Oregon SAFE KIDS Coalition
Chairperson, reminds parents and
children to review and practice
important safety guidelines. Each
year approximately 6,700 children
are killed and another 50,000 are
permanently disabled from
unintentional injuries. The Oregon
SAFE KIDS Coalition and the
National SAFE KIDS Campaign
suggest these guidelines for a safer
back-to-school season:
Walking to school
The Oregon SAFE KIDS
Campaign recommends that children
under 1 0 never cross the street alone.
Each year nearly 1 ,000 children ages
14 and under die; 29,000 are injured
in pedestrian-related incidents. Make
sure children follow these guidelines:
Teach children not to enter the
street from between parked cars or
from behind bushes or shrubs.
-The majority of pedestrian
fatalities among children ages 14 and
under occurs from darting into the
street.
Teach children to obey all traffic
signals and markings.
-A flashing "walk" means the
pedestrian has permission to cross,
but must first stop and check for cars.
Make sure children look in all
directions before crossing the street.
-Teach older children to stop at
the curb or road-edge and look left,
right and left again for traffic before
and w hile crossing the street
Choose the safestroute and walk
it with your children.
-Look for the most direct route
with the fewest street crossings,
crossing at corners and crosswalks;
take the same route daily, avoiding
shortcuts, walk facing traffic.
-Walk with children until they
demonstrate traffic safety awareness;
Warn children bad weather can create
poor visibility and make it difficult
to stop.
Demonstrate proper pedestrian
safety by being a good role model.
School bus safety
Many injuries happen when
children are boarding or exiting the
bus; a blind spot extending
approximately 10 feet in front of the
bus obstruct the drivers' vision.
Children, not aware of this blind spot,
mistakenly believe if they can see the
bus, the bus can see them. In 1 994, 32
children ages 14 and under were
killed; 25 were pedestrians. An
estimated 7,000 children were injured
in school-bus related incident. The
Oregon SAFE KIDS Coalition and
the National SAFE KIDS Campaign
Srovide these school bus safety tips:
Waiting for the bus
Avoid horseplay; stay out of the
street.
Wait for parents on the same
side of the street as the school bus
loadingunloading zone.
Cross at least 10 feet in front of
the bus.
Arrive at the stop 5 minutes
before the bus arrives.
On the bus
Keep the aisles clear, remain
seated at all times. .
Do not throw objects; keep heads
and arms inside the bus at all times.
Let the driver concentrate by not
shouting or distracting.
Getting on and off the bus
Wait, walk and board in a single
file line.
Use handrails to avoid slipping
or falling.
Remove loose drawstrings or
ties on jackets and sweatshirts,
replacing with Velcro, snaps or
buttons. Loose drawstrings and ties
can snag on bus handrails increasing
the risk of children dragging
alongside a vehicle by clothing or
other item caught in the handrail or
door.
Wait until the bus comes to a
complete stop before exiting.
Exit from the front of the bus.
Be aware of the driver's blind
spot ( 1 0 feet in front of the bus) when
walking away from the bus.
Riding bikes to school
With 40 million riders ages 14
and under, bicycles are associated
with more childhood injuries than
any other consumer product except
the automobile. Oregon SAFE KIDS
offers these safety tips for children
riding their bikes to school for fun or
out of necessity.
Bike helmets should be worn at
all times when bicycling. Head
injuries are the leading cause of death
in bike crashes; accounting for 60
percent of bicycle related deaths and
one-third of hospital emergency room
visits. Bike helmets reduce the risk
of head injury by as much as 85
percent and brain injury by as much
as 88 percent. Wear only tested and
approved helmets. Make sure
children wear helmets correctly on
every bike ride.
Children under 10 riding on the
road should ride only with direct
adult supervision.
' Plan a safe cycling route with
children and ride with them. Safe
cycling routes to school may be
different from safe walking routes.
Streets with steady flow of fast
moving traffic are not appropriate
for young cyclists with limited traffic
experience.
Follow the rules of the road.
Ride on the right side of the road,
with traffic, not against; use
appropriate hand signals; respect
traffic signals; stop at all intersection,
marked and unmarked; stop and look
left right and left again before
crossing the street.
Don't ride at night. Riding in
non-daylight conditions, which
includes dawn, dusk, or at night, is
3.6 times more risky for children
ages 14 and under than riding during
daytime.
Work with schools to provide
cyclists with "safe areas." Bike racks
should be in areas where there are
fewer mot or vehicles and pedestrians.
Bicyclists should avoid drop-off and
pick-up zones in school parking lots.
