This includes handicapped child ren and young adults who have dropped out of school be tween the ages of two and twenty-one years of age. Also, we are seeking the names of all adults who are physically and/or mentally handicapped, in Malheur County, in addition to the identification of handicapped children and school drop outs, according to LeRoy Paulsen, Malheur County IED superintendent. Larry Veal, Union County IED, is acting coordinator for the identification survey. He has completed his work in Grant and Baker Counties and is presently working in Malheur County on the sur vey. He is a professional counselor and has spent a one-year internship in de veloping career education programs for the dis advantaged and handicapped. Paulsen is sponsoring Mr. Veal’s work in the County and says the survey will be extremely beneficial to all of the school districts in Malheur County. It will pro vide the necessary infor mation which is now required of all school districts in Oregon as delineated in "House Bill 2444.” Mr. Veal is asking the people of Malheur County to support and to assist in the identification survey. He said, *‘If the survey is to be conclusive and valid, it will require that the people of Malheur County be inform ed and participate in the identification of these child ren, young adults and mentally and/or physically handicapped adults ” Ifany- one knows of such a person please call your school ad ministration office, or Larry Veal at the Malheur County IED. The phone numbers are as follows: Malheur IED, 473-3138, NyssaSchool District, 372-2275; Adrian School District 372-2335. Confidentiality will be strict ly observed, Veal said. What will be the results of the survey? "There is a possibility that State medical services could be provided in the Eastern Oregon area to meet the special needs of these children. Also, vocational and educational training and the establish ment of a sheltered work shop to provide employment are all feasible possibili ties,” said Veal.

Vaughn Stringer holds a "black sheep” one of the new additions. Traditionally, a black sheep is an outcast. The birth of a black lamb once was considered unnatural and the lambs were put to death by Shepherds or farmers. In fact, the black sheep has incurred such a bad reputation over the years that his name has become a common label for throwbacks of the human species. However, the black sheep myth or jinx has faded through the years. Stringer rejx>rts lambing season is 25 percent complete with 150percent lambcropof which one-half are twin lambs.
