Pesticide Handling Seminar slated
Pioneer Memorial Nursing Home resident Merle Boyce
demonstrates the new wheelchair-patient scale that was
recently purchased by the P.M.H. Foundation and the
P.M.H. Auxiliary. The scale, which will be used for nursing
borne residents, enables staff members to weigh patients and
their wheelchairs at the same time, eliminating the need to
move residents for daily weigh ins.
The auxiliary raised $470 and the foundation matched that
amount to purchase the scale.
March 7 is the date set for
the Sherman County Pesticide
Handling Seminar to be held
at the Sherman County 4-H
Pavilion in Moro, announced
Brian Tuck, Sherman Co. ex
tension agent. The program
will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
and will cover such topics as:
Pesticide Container Manage
ment, Pesticide Poisoning -
Ext. specialist gives insurance advice
Health Implications, Personal
Safety Equipment and Pesti
cide Hazards and Regulations.
The emphasis of this semi
nar is to bring pesticide users
up to date on the proper
handling techniques needed
for the pesticides currently in
use in the Mid-Columbia area,
the extension agent explained.

premium? Alice Mills Mor
row, OSU Extension Service
family economics specialist,
suggests you talk with your
agent or broker about increas
ing your deductible.
Your deductible is simply an
amount you agree to pay
before your insurance com
pany takes over in case of a
loss. Morrow says. If you have
a $100 deductible and you have
a $369 insured loss, you pay
the first $100 and your insurer
pays the other $269.
By increasing your deducti
ble, you'll assume the respon
sibility for a greater share of
any loss, she explains, but
you'll also pay less for your
coverage.
A $250 deductible costs
about 10 percent less than a
$100 deductible. A change
from a $100 to a $500 deducti
ble will result in a saving of
about 20 percent.
Insurers introduced the
deductible many years ago as
a means of reducing the mil
lions of small claims that can
be almost as expensive eto
process as the large ones,
Morrow says. The idea is to
keep the cost as low as possi
ble for insurance that will pay
the larger losses that more
people aren't in a position to
absorb.
In this day of higher prices
for almost everything you
buy, higher deductibles are
one way you can economize.
