COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL September 2, 2015 9A Giveaway turnout light, but future bright for Parent Partnership BY JON STINNETT The Cottage Grove Sentinel F or some families in Cot- tage Grove, the upcom- ing start of the new school year means a trip to Al Kennedy Al- ternative High School, where Parent Partnership — which offers programs to aid parent- ing and childhood development in the community — offers do- nated school supplies and cloth- ing to help get the year started right. Parent Partnership hosted its annual event on Thursday morn- ing, and while turnout was light- er than expected, organizers say the event also has objectives be- yond the supply giveaway. “It’s been a little slow today,” said second-year director Karol Kuhn Simons. “But we heard that the Party in the Park (run by Living Faith Assembly, which also distributes free school sup- plies) was huge this year, so that might have had something to do with it.” Simons said the school sup- ply giveaway is provided by the McKinney Vento program, one aspect of Parent Partnership that works to aid homeless students in South Lane School District. “The aim is to provide supplies to help ensure kids’ success,” Simons said. “It also helps us be able to fi nd out which students we may need to connect with again during the school year to provide services or referrals to other agencies, etc.” Homeless students often fi nd themselves living with other families, Simons said, or bounc- ing around between different lo- cal living situations. “This event helps us fi nd out who our families are,” she said. Donations from the Cottage Grove Community Founda- tion, the Cow Creek Band of the Umpqua Tribe of Indians, First Presbyterian and Trinity Lutheran churches helped make the giveaway possible. And there are many new de- velopments on the horizon for Parent Partnership. Its fam- ily resource center, A Primary Connection, will be relocating from Bohemia Elementary to the Lane Community College campus in Cottage Grove, and more infants and toddlers are expected to be served by its First Steps childcare service, which serves teen moms and the children of South Lane School District staff. Simons said the organization has a “robust teen connection” and will soon start offering parenting classes. photo by Jon Stinnett Sarah White checks the fi t of a jacket for her son, Justin, during Parent Partnership's school supply giveaway.

Harvest garlic when the head is divided into plump cloves and the skin covering the outside of the bulbs is thick, dry and papery. If left in the ground too long, the bulbs sometimes split apart. The skin may also split, exposing the cloves and causing them not to store well. Dig, and then dry the mature bulbs in a shady, warm, dry and well-ventilated area for a few Auto • Home • Life • Retirement April Wadsworth’s Day Care is now offering four spots for preschool for the school year 2015-2016 Preschool openings are for Children ages 2-4+ With the convenience of child care within walking distance of Bohemia Elementary School and Lincoln Middle School Child Care for children ages 6 weeks-13 years of age Call me today to discuss your options.

Then remove the tops and roots. Brush dirt off the bulbs. To braid garlic together, harvest it a bit earlier while leaves are green and supple. Avoid bruising the garlic, as it will not store well. Store bulbs in a dark, dry and well- ventilated place. Protect from high humidity and freezing. Do not store garlic in the refrigera- tor because cool temperatures combined with moisture stimu- late sprouting. Properly stored garlic should last until the next crop is harvested the following You know, sometimes we hide things in our heart that are hard to face or deal with. And when we don’t deal with them, they cause problems in our rela- tionships and steal the joy from our daily lives. But God wants us to invite Him—the Spirit of Truth—into our hearts to deal with us…to reveal the truth so we can be set free. Psalm 51:6 says, “Behold, You desire truth in the inner be- ing; make me therefore to know wisdom in my inmost heart” (AMP). And Psalm 26:2 says, “Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; test my heart and my mind.” I want to encourage you not to settle for anything less than the best life Christ has for you. If you’re ready to do that, then pray this with me: “Lord, in Jesus’ name, I pray that You would examine me, prove me and test me, so that Your Spirit can lead me into all truth.” Now get ready, because God wants to reveal Truth to you and make you everything He’s created you to be!
