A Poem<br />
Looking back as years gone<br />
Bye<br />
All the nmtakes I've made<br />
Still w()ndering why<br />
Times have changed in so<br />
Many ways<br />
I think of all my<br />
Wasted days<br />
I know now all the things<br />
I've done<br />
I'm a lot older now<br />
Notone&one<br />
I've grown up strong<br />
And awfully quick<br />
And all my memories<br />
In my mind do stick<br />

Foot in Mouth<br />
at Health Department<br />
Alma Penn<br />
Recently we received a letter<br />
indicating that some children<br />
in daycare have been<br />
getting an . illness called<br />
"Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease"<br />
or coxsackie virus. It<br />
went on to describe the<br />
symptoms, and explained<br />
that it is spread "through<br />
coughing, sneezing, and in<br />
stools (dirty diapers)" and<br />
advised parents what they<br />
should do if our child got the<br />
virus.<br />
One piece of advice was<br />
that we should put bleach in<br />
'<br />
~·,<br />
tjle dishwater or use throwaway<br />
utensils.<br />
Another p-iece of advice<br />
was that we should use<br />
throwaway diapers.<br />
What kinds of messages do<br />
we convey to our children<br />
about caring for the environment<br />
by the evident double<br />
standards here? Does this<br />
also mean that if my child<br />
has this virus I should put<br />
juice bottles or cans in the<br />
garbage instead of the blue<br />
pox? And what happens to<br />
the virus contained in the<br />
diapers once they are carried<br />
off to the landfill site?<br />
