Brady Goss to perform at Irrigon Marina Park Amateur radio could help in emergencies To the editor: I really like getting the paper here in Silverton, keeps me informed as to what is happening in one of the best spots in our state. I read with interest your article concerning the Wildfire exercise plans for emergencies. I’ve been involved with amateur radio for over 30 years (also known as HAM radio operation) and know about the emergency com- munications provided by this resource. It may not be applicable to all areas of the state, but I would suggest contacting a local HAM radio club and see what opportunities may exist for their assistance.

Children who receive DPIL books can have simi- lar reading experiences to their peers when they enter kindergarten. These chil- dren are more likely to have several key pre-reading skills in place when they enter school; skills such as familiarity with books, recognizing print and being exposed to more language than children without these books. Children who re- ceive DPIL books are read to by their families more often, show more interest in reading and begin kinder- garten at a more congruent learning stage to other en- tering kindergarteners.
