 Speaker: Judy McMakin...

Director of Commission on Children & Family

The first program to deal with wayward juveniles was created by legislature in 1979. It was recognized as something that was needed, because of a juvenile crime spree in the 70’s when many were sent to MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility at Woodburn. Oregon, unfortunately, was recognized by a book by Norman Mailer, an American author who wrote books analyzing myths and unconscious impulses that underlie human behavior. He wrote a book about a man who was a product of Oregon education and Oregon life and sent to MacLaren while a juvenile. Obviously MacLaren didn’t help, as he became an adult criminal, and this prompted the legislature to establish and fund a Juvenile Services Commission in 36 counties. In 1980 Belloni Boys Ranch was built and focused on teenage kids from the Coos County Juvenile Department. Several years later, 1983, Governor Vic Atiyeh, (R), realized that juveniles were not in a vacuum and the dollars needed to be spent when children are much younger . The third person to recognize that there was still a need was Larry Campbell, (R), Speaker of the House; he knew it was necessary to start at the beginning, and the program evolved into Commission on Children and Families in 1993. The Oregon Progress Board collects data on 100 benchmarks. She offered a handout showing 41 benchmarks for the last ten years, which includes Teen Pregnancy, Child Care availability, 8th Grade alcohol abuse, and so forth, and most show a positive trend (28 positive and 7 negative). She stated more money was needed for the Child Care Availability or after school programs, as statistics show teens get into more trouble after school before parents come home. Eighty-one percent of Madison School students are on the free or reduced price lunch program which tells of a need, so the Commission is going to try parenting education to help these parents with their cooking skills and to provide nutritious meals. The Coos County Commission on children and Families has 12 goals for the years 2008 – 2014. She stated ,“There is no other choice; providing all these services is not cheap, but it is cheaper than jail or MacLaren.” A side note: Interesting; all those she mentioned who realized the need and worked for programs to do something about it were Republicans.

Coos County FairJuly 22-26

Under the Big Top

Once again there will be Republican booth at the Fair.  "Under the Big Top" is this year's fair theme so if you have any ideas, the committee would be more than happy to receive them.  Also you are needed to volunteer your time to man that Republican booth.  If you are a Republican Woman, member of the Central Committee or an interested Republican please let us count on you to help.  Call the Secretary, Faye Albertson at 347-3746,  and she will help you with a day and time.  Working in the booth is fun, interesting and you will meet many people, not only from Coos County but from all over the United States and even from abroad.

 No Child Left Behind.....
Remember to look at your list of school supplies and please donate all that you possibly can.  It is hard to imagine just how some of our local students are faring.  Some come to school hungry and without supplies and some even barefoot.  They have no shoes and some are living out of cars and on the streets.  On the brighter side, you and I can be of great help to them.  The members voted to donate the school supplies to Millicoma Intermediate School in August, the week before the new school year resumes.  You are asked to donate at least one backpack if you possibly can as that seems to be the greatest need.  The school would also be glad to accept toiletries such as shampoo, deodorant, tooth paste and brushes, combs and hairbrushes or anthing that you know that children ages ten, eleven and twelve can use.  If you prefer to give money, do so as we have a designated shopper who would be more than happy to buy the needed items for you.  Send your checks to the Coos County Republican Women at 2541 Sheridan Avenue, North Bend Oregon 97459.

 
Voter Registration...

Voter Registration at Pony Village is the 3rd week of the month. We are always looking for volunteers to help. Check your newsletter to see who is in charge for the month.

Every Republican that you register puts us closer to making Coos County the next Republican County in our great state. Twenty-six counties have already reached that goal. Let us be the 27th.

With your help, we can do it.

If you are looking at our web page for the first time stop by our table in Pony Village and say hi. Consider joining our group.


Republican National Convention...

Delegates to the National Convention will be elected at the District meeting to be held on Saturday the 12th of July.  All elected Precinct Committee are automatic delegates and are urged to attend.  This year's National Convention will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota on September 1st through the 4th.  Take it from one who attended the Convention in 1984 when Ronald Reagan was the star, it is an experience that in most cases is once in a lifetime event and is a thrilling and very informative time.  John McCain will be the man in the spotlight this year.
