Get smart about antibiotics
Learn when antibiotics are useful,
when they are not
To bring attention to the
growing world-wide problem
of antibiotic resistance, the
Iowa Department of Public
Health (IDPH) joins the CDC
in observing Get Smart About
Antibiotics Week November
18 through 24, 2013.
Antibiotic resistance happens
when a germ changes and no
longer is stopped or killed by
an antibiotic. Infections with
antibiotic-resistant bacteria
have become more common
because of widespread overuse and inappropriate use of
antibiotics.
“Antibiotics are an effective tool against bacterial
infections, but not viral infections,” said IDPH Medical
Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk.
“Antibiotics should not be
used to treat viruses that cause
illnesses like colds or the flu.”
Iowans can help their families and communities stay
healthy by getting smart about
the proper use of antibiotics
by using these simple ways to
fight antibiotic resistance:
Don’t ask for antibiotics
when you don’t need them or
have a viral illness.
When you or your children
are prescribed an antibiotic,
take it exactly as the doctor
tells you. Finish all the medication, even if you are feeling
better.
Although
antibiotics
won’t treat colds, the flu or
other respiratory illnesses
caused by a virus, you can
relieve the symptoms of these
infections by trying the following:
Get plenty of rest.
Can’t take the heat in the kitchen...
Cook? - NOT!... and Save!

spread of viral illnesses –
Cover your cough, Clean your
hands, and Contain your
germs by staying home when
ill.

A Visit to the Great Iowa Treasure
Hunt website may be bountiful for
many Iowans this Thanksgiving
DES MOINES -- During
the annual Thanksgiving Day
festivities, State Treasurer
Michael L. Fitzgerald knows
his office has a bounty of its
own and the Great Iowa
Treasure Hunt could provide
one more reason to give
thanks. “I encourage all past
and present Iowans to check
for their names in the Great
Iowa Treasure Hunt,” said
Fitzgerald, “A quick search
on our website can reunite
people with their unclaimed
property.”
The Great Iowa Treasure
Hunt program has returned
over $170 million in
unclaimed property to more
than 414,000 people since
Fitzgerald created it in 1983.
Unclaimed property refers to
money and other assets held
by financial institutions or
companies that have lost contact with the property’s owner
for a specific period of time.
State law requires these institutions and companies to
annually report unclaimed
property to the state treasurer’s office. The assets are then
held until the owner or heir of
the property is found.
Common forms of unclaimed
property include savings or
checking accounts, stocks,
uncashed checks, life insurance policies, utility security
deposits, and safe deposit box
contents.
“Those who take the time
to search the list may find
they have more to be thankful
for than they could have possibly imagined,” Fitzgerald
stated. “We are currently
holding unclaimed property
for individuals from all
around the state. I encourage
everyone to visit the Great
Iowa Treasure Hunt website
to look for their lost treasure.”
Simply visit greatiowatreasurehunt.com to begin your
search. Be sure to like the
Great Iowa Treasure Hunt on
Facebook and follow us on
Twitter @GreatIATreasure.

Auditions set for Waterloo Playhouse comedy
WATERLOO – The
Waterloo
Community
Playhouse will be casting for
Black Comedy on Wednesday,
December 4 at 7 pm and
Saturday, December 7 at 7
pm. Rehearsals are expected
to begin around December
14th and the production will
run January 31-February 8th
2014.
A cast of eight characters
is sought. Brindsley Miller: A
young sculptor, intelligent
and attractive, but nervous
and uncertain of himself.
Carol Melkett: His fiancée. A
young debutante, very pretty,
very spoiled, very silly. Her
sound is that unmistakable,
terrifying debutante quack .

Miss Furnival: A middle aged
spinster. Prissy; and refined.
Clad in the blouse and sack
skirt of her gentility, her hair
is in a bun, her voice in a bun,
she reveals only the repressed
gestures of the middle-class
spinster- until alcohol undoes
her. Colonel Melkett: Carol’s
commanding father: brisk,
barky, yet given to sudden
vocal calms which suggest a
deep and alarming instability.
It is not only the constant
darkness which gives him his
look of wide eyed suspicion.
Harold Gorringe: The camp
owner of an antique-china
shop, and Brindsley’s neighbor. A specialist in emotional
blackmail, he can become
hysterical when slighted, or
(as inevitably happens) rejected. He is older than Brindsley.
Schuppanzigh: A middleclass German refugee, chubby, cultivated, and effervescent. He is an entirely happy
man, even if this means being
employed full time by the
London Electricity Board.
Clea: Brindsley’s ex-mistress:
dazzling, emotional, bright
and mischievous.The challenge to her to create a dramatic situation out of the
darkness is ultimately irresistible. George Bamberger: An
elderly millionaire art collector, easily identifiable as such.
