Middlcpori Council President .
Beth Slivers said that council, after
,reviewing and discussing all the hids,

"A majority of the customers in
the village are regular clislomers, so
we felt it would lx:.of benefitlo go
with the cheaper bid. We also took
into account General Refuse Service's
availahility to the village and its
refuse cusiOmers, by fax, voice mail,
and a loll-free number, when making
our decision," said Stivers.
· Councilman John Neville seconded Slivcni' molion lo accept the General Refuse bid, with council approv·
ing too contract award by a S-0 vote .
Other .firms competing for lhe

All village employees will have a

49ers thump Lions
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)- While
· Steve Young and Jerty Rice piled up
personal honors, the San Francisco
49ers took what many ~ailed a mean·
ingless game and turned it into a
tuneup for !he play,offs.
With their postseason place
already ensured, the 49ers beat the
Or•roit Lions 24-14 Monday night.
San Francisco (12-4) plays host to
Philadelpbia on Sunday,.and Detr(lit
(5·1 I) simply goes home.
.
It is the •first time the 49ers have
gone into the playoffs as a wild .card
since 1985 - and the team is well
. awate of the · rarity of wild cards
reaching and winni~g the Super
Bowl.
"When people lalk about how it's
impossible, I think it's.going to drive our team/' rackle Harris Barton

said. "We've won it with so many
. different angles and so many different·variables, I think the confidence
is there."

That confidence was certainly
boosted Monday night as the 49ers
succeeded in taking a victory into the
playoff~ despite Barry Sanders· dash
to his third NFL rushing Iitle. The
49ers' first-round opponent already
had been decided when Carolina
defeated Pittsborgh on Suaday for the
N.fC West title.
"The headline might be '49ers
win meaningless game.' But it meant
something to us," said Young, who
finished the regular season with his
9fth paSsing Iitle in six yt;ars:
t· Young, who completed II of 14
~asses for 96 yards and threw a·pair
of 1-yard .touchdown passes to.Ted
P,opson and Derek Loville, stayed In
the game for the'first half.
·
:· Young, who missed all or pans of
right games because of injuries, fin~hed the season , with five. solid
fames. hftmg hos passmg rahng to
~7.2 and SU!Jla5Sing Green Bay's

Young 'after ihe firs( h~f. but caught

I Behind him is Detroit's Herman

finish with I06. Moore stayed in the .

to make sure Rice kept the title.
"!'tried, but this·man is Impossible," Moore said. "It's an honor to be
standing on the same field with him.·
When I watch him it makes me work

While the 49ers wen: able to hold
back Moore, they couldn't stop
Sanders, who ran for J7S yards. •
Sanders finished the season with
1,5S:i yards, surpassing Denver's
Terrell Davis' I ,538 yafds. It was his
third straight season ·with at least
1,500 rushing yards, 'the first time
that's been done in NFL history .
The 49ers didn't allow a 100-yard
rusher for · 20 straight .gal'les until
Erric Pegram gained 103 yards in San
Francisco's 25-15 win at Piusburgh
last week. ·The yardage by Sanders
was the most since Pegram gained
192 against San Francisco while
with Atlan1a on Sept. 18, 1993.
"I had no reason to believe we
could run for that many yards against
the Niners," Sanders sdid.
After Young's touchdown pass·to
Popson on the 49er,;' first possession
of the game, Sanders ran 54 yards to
~e the game on the next series.

Take a last-minute look around

Karen Ann Quinlan's life an·d· death was not in vain
to you, and I often said that if I were
in your shoes, I would have done the
same thing.
·
Well, in September 1978,1 was in
your shoes. My 2-year-old son darted into the street and was hit by a
car. As a result, he was blind, deaf
and
severely
brain-damaged.
Because I had already given this
subject so much thought when it
happened to your daughter, I didn't .
have to ponder a ·course of action
while in a state of shock. I knew
right away that removing the respiI rator was the right decision. And
because of what you went through in
the courts. the hospital didn't fight
me.
I am sure more good than you

Donna Williams of Biloxi, Miss.,
can vouch for the dangers of prescription medicines for the elderly.
· In August, she had to rush son
Devontrae, 3, to the hospital because
he sampled his MawMaw's diabetes
medicine:
Williams says her mother was in
the hospital herself at the time. And
Devontrae somehow got the notion
that if he took some of his grandmother's medicine he could be like
her.
Normally, the medicine would
have been in an out-of-reach cabi-

u.s.

The
Consumer Product Safety
Commission says grandparents' medicine is involved in about 20 perc~nt
of all accidental drug ingestions by
children.
"They (children) are usually a little bit more free to run and play and
: • get into things," says Hughes. "And
· ' that invariably leads to problems."
Particular! y when it comes to
Grandma and Grandpa's medicine.
The U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission says grandparents' medicine is involved in about
20 percent of all accidental drug
ingestions by children.
And it's easy to see why.
"Most elderly people, as a matter
of convenience, keep medication on
a bedside table, nightstand, counter
in the bathroom or in the middle of ·
the dining room table, '' says Hughes. ' 1And children have ready access
to any of th,ose locations."
'
Another problem, he adds, is the
medicine may be stored in a container"that is not child-resistant - such
as a pill organizer. And 1-tugbes says
the. brightly colored boxes act like a
magnet for children.
"It looks like a toy. They have all
those little compartments t9 open
and close and it almost becomes a .
treasure hunt to see what is in all
-:- those compartments."

net. But Williams says she had it out
to give to her mother's doctor. While
she was on the phone, Devontrae
found the bottle on a kitchen
counter. And within seconds he had
the child-resistant cap off and had
popped a couple of pills.
Luckily. Williams saw hi~f! chew- ·
ing and managed to get some of the
medicine out of his mouth. "The
doctor said if I hadn't seen him he
probably wouldn't be here today."
As it was, Devontrae had a hard
night. He had to drink activated
charcoal, as well as endure an mtravenotis line and several sessions of
havi~g his blood drawn and tested .
And his mom was left with a "big
hospital bill," which the medical
secretary is now working two jobs to
pay.
Although she considers herSelf a
good mom, Williams says she has
learned from the experience that a
parent can never be too careful.
"Things happen . You have to· watch
them."
And not just around the grandpar-

ents' stuff.

Hughes says Mom and Dad's suitcase also can be a source of trouble
when a family is on the road. " We
receive a fair number of calls every
year, and not just around the holi·
days, from families staying in hotels
and the child got into the medicine
because it was in the suitcase."
· While medicine is a major threat,
Hughes says it's hardly the only hu·
atd that comes with the holidays.
Scented lamp oils and potpourri.
Plants such as poinsettia, mistletoe
and Jerusalem Cherry. Button batteries that run walches and cameras.
Even the sliced turkey left too long
on the buffet can sicken holiday
merrymakers.
"Alcohol is another issue," he
adds. "People will have cocktail
parties and not clean up, and the
next morning the 2-year-old will
pick up a partially consumed alco"
holic drink and become intoxicated.''
· Lind_a Patterson, a· registered
nurse and healtb education specialist

Extension Service in Starkville, says
burns can be a big problem this time
of year, too, because people are
cooking more and building more
fires.
