Speed Limits
Because of numerous
complaints about speed
SPEED ing, the Vernonia Police
LIMIT Department has been put
ting the radar reader board
in locations where drivers
can see for
themselves the speed they
SSLi
are maintaining.
Assuming that a word to
LIMIT
the wise is sufficient, wise
drivers will maintain the
_
legal speed
limit. Speed
in excess of the legal limit
LIMIT may be very expensive.

Santa Claus needed a lot of helpers for the annual Vernonia Toy & Joy program, among them
are the volunteers pictured above. The two assistant Santas were Matt Poetter and Ray Cota;
other helpers included Shelley Cota, Katie Poetter, Holly and Wayne Vaughn, Teresa Bernardi,
Christie Brown, Ben Davis, John Ragsdale, Darrell Wolfe, Jeremy Woodall and Scott Swaner.
Use caution with nonprescription drugs and kids
drugs packaged specifically for
children, so it’s important to
take special precautions when
giving them to youngsters.
Here are some tips from the
U.S. Food and Drug Adminis
tration for safely using non-pre
scription drugs with children.
Children aren’t simply small
Non-prescription, or over-
the-counter drugs are more
numerous than ever today. In
fact, more than 600 products
sold over the counter today use
ingredients
or
dosage
strengths available only by pre
scription 20 year ago. Rarely
are these non-prescription

er versions of adults, so don’t
estimate the dose based on
their size. Read the label care
fully and follow all directions
Double check instructions
that call for exact quantities of
drugs. Be sure you know the
difference between a table
spoon (abbreviated as Tbsp.)
and a teaspoon (tsp.) The dif
ference between the two
measurements is significant for
children.
Be careful when following
dose instructions. If the direc
tions call for two teaspoons, it’s
best to use a measuring spoon
or dosing cup marked in tea
spoons rather than common
kitchen silverware.
Be sure to follow age limits
listed on the label.
