Local Frito Lay plant spared lay-offs
Frito Lay announced Monday that
it will lay off 1,800 employees
nationwide, but hourly workers at
the Perry plant will not be affected.
The majority of the cuts will be
made at the home office in Plano,
Texas, where about 800 employees
in management positions expect to
lose their jobs.

Law said getting the assistance of
parents is important to getting chil

troduced a work project that allows
students and their parents to work
together with the help of a reading
aid.
“The aid is a rabbit we named
‘Speedy Reedy’,” she said. “We let
the children take him home and
help them with their reading. The
rabbit has a journal to record the
things he does with the child during
his visit.”
Law said she encourages parents
to help the child with the Speedy
Reedy project as well as other
times.
“That may seem intimidating at
first parents may not think they
have the kind of materials around to
help their child read,” she said.
“Even if it’s at the breakfast
table, a parent can help a child read
by letting them circle certain letters
on a cereal box, for example.”

public. The law became effective on
July 1, 1991.
If the public wants a copy of
particular birth and death records, a
$3 fee is required and a $1 fee for
any additional copies at the same
time of the original purchase.
“This information is not open to
the public. Anyone who is
interested in getting a copy can
come in between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
at the probate court office,” said
Judge Frances Annis.
”1 simply cannot do this (open the
records to the public) and stay
within the law. We want to
cooperate with everybody but we
have to charge for the records,”
Annis said.
The Right of Privacy Act protects
the public documents from open
inspection.
