Bend artist, Wilhelm, assisted fourth grade classes in painting murals for permanent display .; ,
The Warm Springs Elementary fourth grade classes have been painting murals March 4-15 in the Elementary gym. The
first week was planning their murals, deciding what kind of pictures, and what theme they wanted to do. The four murals were
finished March 15.
Sue Wilhelm of Bend, Oregon Central Oregon Arts in Education, was asked by Tag Specialist Pat Creelman to come to
Warm Springs Elementary for this two-week project. Wilhelm specializes in murals, drawings and paintings. She helped the
students with the paintings. She received a few phone calls to get everything set up for this project. She assisted the
students to mix their own paint colors from three primary colors to make approximately 50 different colors.
The murals were painted on 4' x 8' masonite panels, each class having their own mural.
Each class had their own theme. Mrs. LaPage's class had a water theme, Mr. Nelson's class had a geography theme, Mr.
Phillip's class had an Indigenous animals theme and Ms. Moore's class had a plant theme. They are all of the Central Oregon
area.
. According to Wilhelm, one week after spring break these will be displayed in their classrooms for one week. They will then
be taken into the community to display for one month. In early May a dedication ceremony will, be held for the permanent
display in the Warm Springs Elementary School. "

National Poison Prevention Week
was March 1 7 through 23. Each year,
thousands of children are accidentally
poisoned by household chemicals,
plants, prescription and over-the-counter
drugs. This is the week set
aside each year to make sure that
your home and yard are safe for your
children, grandchildren, nieces or
nephews. The best way to do this is to
properly store, use and dispose of all
hazardous materials and to teach
children to ask before putting
anything in their mouth.
Some good poison prevention
rules include the following:
1. Keep poisonous substances
properly labeled and in their original
containers. (Example: Do not put
gasoline in a pop bottle.)
2. Avoid taking medications in
front of children; they love to imitate
adults.
3. Do not refer to medication as
"candy". They should know that all
medication is to be taken only when
needed and only when given by an
adult.
4. Keep all cleaning materials and
chemicals labeled and out of the reach
of children and put them away
immediately after use.
5. Keep the Poison Control Center
phone number at the telephone and
make sure all of your child's
caregivers know the number as well.
6. Do not use ipecac syrup without
calling Poison Control first. Some
substances can cause more harm if
the child is made to vomit.
7. Clean out your medicine
cabinets and destroy all old
medications found in your home. If
you arc uncomfortable destroying
them, bring them in to the pharmacy 2. How the victim was exposed. The number for the Oregon Poison

With Spring just around the cor
ner, lots of people will be out clean
ing up in the garden, or around the
house. If you have weeds, limbs from
trees, debris etc. and plan to burn it,
remember to get a fire permit from
fire management. Remember while
burning, to be safe. Don't burn if its
windy, have the proper tools on hand.
Shovels, a hose or other water supply
available and be sure the area around
the burn pile is cleared. Also, you
don't want to have the burn pile nelr
your house or too close to trees! '
