The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day addresses a crucial public safety and public health issue. According to the 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 6 million Americans misused controlled prescription drugs. The study shows that a majority of abused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet.
The DEA's Take Back Day events provide an opportunity for Americans to prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths

By Mark Hulbert, MarketWatch Updated April 7, 2019
Conventional wisdom about Social Security bites the dust-again.
As you undoubtedly already are well aware, most financial planners recommend that-so long as you can afford to do so-you should wait until age 70 to begin receiving your Social Security benefits. Your monthly payment in such an event will be 32% higher than if you begin receiving benefits at age 66. So long as you live to your early 80s, those higher monthly payments should make up for the foregone income over the four years from age 66 to 70.
I recently presented one argument for why conventional wisdom could be wrong. In this column I present another.
This additional reason traces to Social Security's uncertain fate at the hands of our elected officials. If you take at face value some of the proposals being given serious consideration in Congress and in President Trump's administration that reduce future Social Security benefits, then the financial planners could be giving the wrong advice to wait until age 70.

Your CSI Employee Wellbeing Program is committed to everyone having a pain-free workplace! That's why we offer FREE ergonomic assessments provided by the Center for Physical Rehabilitation (CPR) to employees experiencing pain, numbness, or other general discomfort at your desk or other type of work situation.
Your first step is to share your issue with your supervisor to let them know of the problem and start a discussion about changes that could improve your situation. If you agree to continue with an assessment, either one of you may contact your Wellbeing Coordinator by email to
[email protected] with your best contact information and we will have CPR schedule an appointment with you directly. Once you have met with a member of their team, please share your results with your supervisor to discuss next steps. Usually easy changes can affect a quick and helpful remedy.
Any other costs will be incurred by your department. The Wellbeing Program does not pay for modifications or equipment.

According to
reusethisbag.com, the average bag you pick up at the grocery store, or carry your takeout in, has a lifespan of about 12 minutes. When discarded, they clog sewage and storm drains, entangle and kill an estimated 100,000 marine mammals every year, and degenerate into toxic microplastics that fester in our oceans and landfills for up to 1,000 years.
Despite this, shoppers collectively use around 500 billion single-use plastic bags every year. That's 150 bags per person, per year, for every single person on Earth - or enough to circle the globe 4,200 times.
Luckily, we're starting to see communities around the U.S., and the world, mobilize to reduce waste by banning, taxing, or otherwise limiting the use of these plastic bags.
ReuseThisBag.com wanted to take a big-picture look at where legislation has been passed, and what its effects have been. Which cities in the US are leading the way for plastic bag bans? Internationally, which countries have made the most significant push?
- In the U.S., only 2 states (CA and HI) have banned plastic bags on a statewide level
- 4 U.S. states (DE, ME, RI, NY) have mandatory recycling or reuse programs in place
- 10 U.S. states (AZ, FL, IA, ID, IN, MI, MN, MO, MS, WI) have places preemptive bans on banning plastic bags.
- 200 U.S. municipalities have banned or taxed plastic bags; outcomes have been largely positive, including:
- San Jose, CA: Reduction of plastic bags in storm drains (89%), rivers (60%), and residential areas (59%); average # of bags per person reduced from 3 to 0.3.
- San Francisco, CA: Savings of up to $600k per year in plastic processing fees.
- Seattle, WA: Reduction of plastic bags in both residential (48%) and commercial (76%) waste.
- Globally, plastic bags are banned in 32 countries, 18 of which are in Africa
Here's one clever woman who wore her groceries home from the store. Enjoy:

The College of Southern Idaho Music Department will present a performance by the CSI Symphonic Band on
Tuesday, April 30 at 7:30 PM in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium. The band will be directed by CSI faculty member George K. Halsell, and the theme of the concert is
Recollection and Remembrance.
The concert will offer a selection of marches and concert pieces, and will mark this past National Vietnam War Veterans Day by playing Black Granite, by James L. Hosay. This march was written to remember those whose names are inscribed on the black granite of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC. The Symphonic Band wishes to play this work in remembrance of those from the Magic Valley whose names are listed there. As the band plays, their images will be shown overhead.
The band will also perform two selections, each based on music from other conflicts in America's history. The first is Fantasy on a Colonial Air, by James Curnow, which is based on Chester, a popular patriotic song from the RevolutionaryWar. The other recalls perhaps the worst band in the Civil War, The Unfortunate Band of the Iron Brigade, by David Lovrien.
Other selections on the program include Gliding Girl, a tango by John Philip Sousa, the Totem Pole March by Eric Osterling (so-called because of the extended harmonies the composer chose), Joi, by Robert Logan, the Little Ripper March by Australian composer David Stanhope, the traditional Irish-American song Mother Machree, as arranged by John Zdechlik, Acrostic Song, from the 1976 opera Final Alice, by David Del Tredici, and Encanto, by Robert W. Smith.
The concert is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Dr. Halsell.

May 1 - 4 at 7:30 p.m. and March 4 at 2 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Theater
On a distant island a man waits. Robbed of his position, power and wealth, his enemies have left him in isolation. But this is no ordinary man, and this no ordinary island. Prospero is a magician, able to control the very elements and bend nature to his will. When a sail appears on the horizon, he reaches out across the ocean to the ship that carries the men who wronged him. Creating a vast magical storm, he wrecks the ship and washes his enemies up on the shore. When they wake they find themselves lost on a fantastical island where nothing is as it seems. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students and senior citizens, and free for CSI students.

Possible Hepatitis A Exposure on Commercial
Bus Route
Between Salt Lake City and Boise
Ada County - Central District Health Department (CDHD) is asking anyone who rode a Greyhound bus from Salt Lake City to Boise on Wednesday, April 10 and used the on-board restroom to contact the health department for information about a potential exposure to hepatitis A, a highly contagious virus that affects the liver. Riders who did not use the on-board restroom do not need to contact the health department.
Bus riders who were on this route should call 208-327-8625 as soon as possible to talk to health department staff who will assess exposure risk. Those who were exposed could get protection from the virus if they receive the hepatitis A vaccine by or on Tuesday, April 23. Calls received outside of regular business hours (8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday) will be checked daily and messages returned.
About Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A easily spreads by entering the mouth after someone touches an object, food or drink contaminated with the virus. If an infected person does not wash their hands well, especially after using the bathroom, small amounts of virus can spread from the hands of the infected person to other objects, surfaces, and food.
Hepatitis A can cause symptoms that range from mild to severe, lasting several months. Common symptoms include tiredness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, low-grade fever, pale-colored bowel movements and dark urine, joint pain and yellowing of the whites of the eyes and skin (jaundice). Not everyone infected with hepatitis A will experience all of the symptoms and some will not have any symptoms.
Those at the highest risk for getting Hepatitis A include:
People who are living with or caring for a person who already has hepatitis A
People living homeless, especially those living unsheltered without good access to sanitation, hygiene and handwashing facilities
People who have sex with someone who has hepatitis A
Men who have sex with men
Illicit drug users (does not have to be injection drugs)
People with clotting disorders like hemophilia
International travelers
People with chronic liver disease, including hepatitis B and hepatitis C are at increased risk for severe infections.
Preventing Hepatitis A Hepatitis A vaccination is the best way to prevent hepatitis A. The shot is safe and effective; anyone who wants to reduce their risk of hepatitis A should get vaccinated. Anyone who is in the higher risk groups should receive the hepatitis A vaccine to protect themselves.
Idaho's Hepatitis A Investigation
CDHD, along with state public health, has been investigating a hepatitis A outbreak that began emerging in early 2019. To date, eight cases of hepatitis A have been confirmed in Ada and Elmore counties, which are served by CDHD. Neighboring counties including Canyon, Blaine and Twin Falls have also seen a recent increase in hepatitis A cases, bringing the state count to 14 since Jan. 1, 2019. In 2018, only eight cases of hepatitis A were reported in Idaho.

BOARD APPROVES TUITION AND FEE INCREASES AT IDAHO'S FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTIONS
The Idaho State Board of Education today approved increases in resident tuition and fees for full-time undergraduate students requested by each of Idaho's public four-year colleges and universities.
The percentage increases are as follows:
- University of Idaho 5.6%
- Boise State University 4.9%
- Idaho State University 6.1%
- Lewis-Clark State College 5.5%
"All of us would like to reduce the costs or hold the costs down for students," Board Member Andrew Scoggin said. "We put our institutions in a very tough situation when they have normal increases that are going to arise in order to provide quality education and to maintain facilities. Cost to students is critical, but so is the quality of their education."
The Board approved the increase on a 5-3 vote.
The Board meeting continues tomorrow on the University of Idaho campus in Moscow.

"Boise State's momentum has been building for years and Dr. Tromp is the right person to continue that momentum and to build on it moving forward. It was clear in surveys after the candidates visited Boise State last month that Dr. Tromp was the campus community's top pick. The Board shares their enthusiasm about Boise State's next president."
Tromp earned a Ph.D. in English at the University of Florida, her M.A. in English at the University of Wyoming, and a B.A. at Creighton University in Nebraska. She is a first-generation college graduate.
