Deadly Drugs Hit SchoolsWritten by Jeff Morelock

But That's Not All... Yaba is a synthetic Methamphetamine-like drug. It produces disturbing hallucinations. Kids call these "eyelid movies." Yaba is dangerous because it is simple to make. Kids can find everything they need to make it around corner at grocery store. The main ingredients are salt, household cleaning products, distilled cold medicines, and lithium from camera batteries. Any kid with a D in chemistry can follow an Internet formula using two of his mother's casserole dishes. Worse yet, food coloring, sweeteners, and artificial aromas are added, making Yaba look, smell, and taste like candy. This will make drug more appealing to middle and elementary school students. What Can be Done? The police continue to take small amounts of drugs off streets. But that won't make much of a difference. What will make a difference and save young lives are parents like you. Educate yourself about PMA and other drugs. Then educate your kids. You must make a difference.

spring-tension curtain rod, tie it on with ribbon, or try my favorite, velcro stick-on tabs! Organize your kitchen logically, and not only will you reduce clutter, you'll save time and energy! Place items in cupboards near area where you normally use them. For instance, spices near stove, everyday dishes near dishwasher, cutting board and knives near sink - you get idea! Use small boxes turned upside-down to make higher "shelves" in back of your spice cabinet. You don't have to buy expensive storage cubes for your kids' rooms! Covered boxes, sewn drawstring bags from extra material, even an old suitcase under bed make good storage. A wall of simple metal-strip utility shelving (they sell it in white, as well) can accommodate a large amount of stuff, especially for older kids, and is relatively cheap at home improvement stores. I save old baby-wipe containers to store crayons, hot wheels, and that endless supply of useless toys from fast food joints! You can cover them with contact paper. Try labeling what goes where, even for older kids, so there is no arguing about what "putting it away" really means! Finally, attack one area at a time. Try to fit in a little re-organizing each day, and you'll be recognizing that creative décor you lost in clutter again soon! Copyright 2002 K. Wilson
