      <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/370459839659870/#">Public Event</a> · By <a href="http://www.facebook.com/LaneCommunityCollege">Lane Community College</a></p>
<p>Lane Community College and the Drug Enforcement Administration will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is Saturday, April 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Center for Meeting and Learning, Building 19, main campus, 4000 E. 30th Avenue, Eugene. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.</p>
<p>Bring your prescription medications for disposal, except for chemotherapy drugs or sharps. Liquids should be tightly closed. Collected items will be turned over to the DEA for proper and safe disposal.</p>
<p>Last October, Americans turned in 377,080 pounds—188.5 tons—of prescription drugs at participating sites. In its three previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners took in almost a million pounds—nearly 500 tons—of pills.</p>
<p>LCC Public Safety has participated since the beginning. More people show up each event. “Last April we collected nearly 300 pounds of drugs,” says Public Safety Chief Jace Smith. “We will continue this activity so long as there is government support to our agency to provide this valuable service. Many members of the community seem especially appreciative.”</p>
<p>This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.</p>

      <p>On Tuesday, May 15, Lara Delmolino, a clinical professor at the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology at Rutgers, will be featured in a three-hour workshop on &#8220;Matching Children with Autism to Classrooms: Elements for Parents and Educators to Consider.&#8221; The session will be held in Rooms 2, 3 and 4 of the Lane Education Service District Building, 1200 Highway 99. Online registration is available at: <a href="https://oregon.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0p2cppHt9HTuYtu">https://oregon.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0p2cppHt9HTuYtu</a></p>
<p>Delmolino has more than 20 years of experience working with people on autism spectrum disorder, which includes autism, Asperger syndrome and pervasive developmental disorder (atypical autism).

Among the topics will be assessments, treatment philosophies and strategies.</p>
<p>The May 15 workshop is additionally sponsored by the Eugene School District 4J, the Bethel School District and Lane ESD.</p>

      <p>Sandra Harris, professor emeritus, who founded the Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center in 1972 at the New Jersey campus, will address &#8220;Living with Autism: The Experiences of Parents and Siblings&#8221; from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Room 220 of the HEDCO Education Building, 1655 Alder St.</p>
<p>Harris will address the need for educators to be tuned into the experiences of the family members of an autistic child to effectively develop and carry out an educational plan. Such an understanding and teamwork may, in turn, help families to structure their at-home instructional methods to build consistency and address behavioral problems that may arise</p>
