SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2018 Siuslaw News Opinion P.O. Box 10 Florence, OR 97439 Everyone plays a role in preventing child abuse (Editor’s Note: Throughout April, Siuslaw News will be featuring Guest Viewpoints, editorials and a special series highlighting Child Abuse Prevention Month.) C hild abuse and neglect can be prevented. Every child deserves to be safe and nurtured, and there is a role for every single person, neighborhood, group and organization to play in preventing child abuse and neg- lect. These are some of the core beliefs of “90by30,” a Lane County-wide program, administered by the Center for the Prevention of Abuse and Neglect (CPAN) at the University of Oregon. 90by30 represents the goal of reduc- ing child abuse and neglect in Lane County by 90 percent by the year 2030. There are certain strategies that research has shown to be effective in preventing child abuse and neglect; 5 A GUEST VIEWPOINT B Y J EANNE S HANNON 90 BY 30 some of them are soon to be implement- ed in West Lane communities. Welcome Baby Box is a program that has been implemented worldwide and shown to reduce infant mortality rates. The family of every baby born in West Lane will be given a baby box which can serve as a crib. It will be filled with necessary items, such as baby clothes, bottles, diapers, blanket, toys and sheets. Also included will be a Resource Guide which lists local support organi- zations to assist parents. In addition, a CD, “Period of Purple Crying,” will educate parents about the dangers of the “shaken baby syndrome.” The Welcome Baby Box will be a valuable community resource by offer- ing support to parents when they need it most. Roots of Empathy is a school-based program that has been delivered interna- tionally. It will be implemented in West Lane in the Fall. It is an evidence-based program that is designed to engender and promote empathy in young children. An infant and caregiver, along with a Roots of Empathy facilitator, visit first grade classes over the school year. The curriculum allows the children to inter- act with the baby in such a way that they learn how to be more empathetic to each other and to become more caring indi- viduals. Healthy Families is a program cur- rently being implemented in West Lane. It is a home-based program in which trained volunteers visit homes of parents with children aged prenatal to six years old. The program promotes parenting skills, healthy child development, and provides resources to reduce parental stress. Additional programs will be imple- mented during the next few years. Meanwhile, to recognize April as Child Abuse Prevention Month, all community members are invited to attend the upcoming a 90by30 open house on Sunday, April 29. There will be informational material, fun activities, face-painting, a video and refreshments. It will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Siuslaw Public Library. All are welcome to attend and learn more about how we, as individuals with- in our community, can play a role in pre- venting child abuse and neglect.

Not if you could help it … and you can. No wonder that Freedom from Aerial Herbicide Alliance is meeting so many obstacles in its attempt to ban toxic sprays in Lane County forests. Corporations like Weyerhauser and Syngenta put significant money and energy in efforts to insulate their practices and profits from interference by individuals advocating for pub- lic health, living wage, environ- mental protections, clean water and air, and democratic power. These are efforts to influence regulatory agencies to enact protections that support a cho- sen profit margin. Corporate lobbyists draft industry-friendly legislation to legalize business activities, as well as state pre- emptive legislation to prohibit local jurisdictions from passing laws attempting to limit or stop harmful activities by corpora- tions. The legal and governmental systems, entrenched over decades, took root in the fertile soil of the U.S. Constitution’s core values: commerce and property.

They believe that all traffic from all directions will stop so they can safely walk in any direction towards their homes. They believe this because it is the law. Please share their vision and do not cross the boundaries of that invisible shield. They are counting on you. Thanks. —Suzanne Mann-Heintz Florence H EALTHCARE FAR CRY FROM DENTAL CARE When a person of my age applies for Medicare he realizes that he or she will need supple- mental insurance to cover most things. Over the years, with both Medicare and supplemen- tal insurance, most of our major medical bills from knee replacement and cataract sur- gery to back surgery, has been covered with little cost to us. Now when it gets to hearing and eating, that is where every- thing goes downward or is essentially nonexistent. First, if you need hearing aids, nothing is covered. Apparently, Medicare or sup- plemental insurance don’t care if you can hear or eat. My supplemental insurance costs me about $120 per month. About two years ago I added dental coverage for an addition- al $40 per month. Then I discovered that the bridge on my three lower front teeth need to be replaced. Cost: $9,000, non of which is cov- ered. Almost toothless and hard of hearing, I recently purchased hearing aids that I saw adver- tised and purchased them for $780. They seem to be working great and I am on my second week of a 21-day trial. Now, when my teeth fall out, I might have to use Gummy Bears as a replacement. —Win Jolley Florence Let me Showcase your property. 21st & Spruce Street – 997-8113 Adult Forum 9 a.m. – Sunday School 10:30 a.m. Worship services; Sun. 10:30am & Mon. 5:30 pm Pastor Lori Blake www.lutheranchurchfl orence.com 2nd & Ivy – 997-2961 –Non-Denominational PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF THE SIUSLAW Worship Service: 9:00 am & 10:30 am Traditional Worship Service 10:00 a.m. , Reverend Greg Wood Sunday School and Nursery – Organ and Choir All Welcome.
