IVUdRf Hulk Halt IVrn.il No. 2 Warm Springs, OR 97761 SECTION LIBRARY OR 17403 MARCH 19, 1993 Clean out the chest; prevent poisonings National Poison Prevention Week will be observed this year between March 21 and 27. Mountain View Hospital District encourages every one to take a few minutes and do a "spring cleaning" of the family medicine chest. The following advice will help in the cleaning process. 1. Throw out all unlabeled bottles and those with labels you can't read because they arc faded or damaged. Don't guess at what bottles might contain. 2. Check expiration dates on all prescription and non-prescription drugs. If the date has passed, discard the medicine. Get a fresh supply when needed. 3. Throw away all medicines that show signs of old age. Signs of aging include: Tablets: Plain tablets that crumble easily, chipped or cracked sugar coated tablets and all discolored pills should be discarded. Aspirin gets a vinegar smell when it breaks down. Capsules: Get rid of any sticky, moist or soft capsules. Liquids: Separated liquids should be thrown out. Drugs that need shaking but remain separated after agitation should also be discarded. Eye Products: To be safe, eye products must be fresh and sterile. Even if the expiration date is still good, throw out opened containers of eye drops and ointments when they arc no longer needed. As a rule of thumb, don't keep opened con tainers around for more than a month. Additionally, Mountain View pharmacists recommend that a one ounce bottle of Syrup of Ipecac be kept in the medicine chest for each child in the household. School District budget proposal submitted The proposed 1993-94 School District 509-J operating budget was presented by superintendent Phil Riley at the first of a scries of budget meet ings on March 9. Salary increases, fringe benefits, new personnel, and a 2.9 percent in crease in site budgets accounts for in creases in the District budget. The major amount of District resources goes to personnel including 175 teachers, counselors, educational assistants, li brarians, a nurse and 10 administrators as well as 78 bus driv ers, mechanics, custodiansmainte nance personnel, clerical staff and Districtadministratorsandsupcrvisors. Approximately 83.4 percent of the General Fund is spent on salaries and benefits. The proposed budget calls for the addition of 5.7 teachers and additional secretarial and bus driver time, one assistant principal, and a full-time special education teacher. Basic lunding irom the Department of Education to the District iscstimatcd at nearly $648,909 less than the 1992- 93 school year. The uncertainty of legislative action and available revenue for the District requires that funds be taken from the future capital projects budget to meet current needs. Riley statcs,"Whileconsumingcash reserves is not a pleasant choice, it seems more prudent than consuming programs and opportunities for our students." Copies of the budget proposal arc available at the District Support Ser vices building, 445 S.E. Buff SL in Madras. Questions regarding the bud get may be directed to superintendent Phil Riley at 475-6192 or to Budget Committee members which include Steve Earnest, Don Aitken, Bcttc Wallan, Jeff Sanders, Tom Norton, Dana Gregg, Dennis Tingle, Julie Mitchell-Quaid, Craig Wcigand and Mike Ahem.
