Getting a jump on learning | A new law aims to change the way Oregon prepares young children for school
registerguard.com — “The 3- and 4-year-olds in Kate Ascetta’s Head Start preschool class are playing with spiders, big funny plastic spiders that they’re tucking into a sticky white-stringed web. It’s part science lesson, part vocabulary session, and before the end of the day they’ll be happily hollering “arachnid,” the class of creatures to which spiders belong.

GUEST VIEWPOINT: Hold America’s abortion giant accountable for tax funding
registerguard.com — “Many Eugene and Springfield residents are protesting Planned Parenthood’s Glenwood clinic, and they will continue to do so. Why are so many opposing this project, which is being packaged as a community benefit? It is not because of the women’s health care Planned Parenthood provides. The Lane County Health Department’s Charnelton Community Clinic provides exactly the same care to women, and there are no protesters outside its doors. It is not primarily because Planned Parenthood receives one-thi” View full resource at registerguard.com
