Antibiotics Really Are Different Than Other Drugs Correcting misconceptions about antibiotics and how they should be
used is a difficult task. Commonly, we think of them like other drugs. They are not. For instance, pain medication can be considered "mild" or "strong" depending on the type or the dose. Antibiotics are VERY differ- ent. An antibiotic is the key that fits into a specific lock designed to kill a specific bacteria. If the antibiotic does not fit, it is not "weak". It merely does not kill that bacteria. Some antibiotics are thought of as being "strong", meaning that their keys fit many more locks and kill many more types of bacteria. However, antibiotics considered "strong" have infec- tions they will not treat.
When it comes to treating infections, the most important decision is not to pick the strongest antibiotic. The goal is to pick the antibiotic most likely to kill and clear the bacteria causing your infection. A sinus infec- tion is typically caused by different organisms than a skin infection, and so on. Keep in mind that the common cold and many other infections are viral. Antibiotics will not treat a viral infection. The next time you are prescribed an antibiotic, remember the "strongest" is not necessarily the best. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist if you have additional ques- tions.

At 7:22 p.m., Officer Sebastian was dispatched to the 400 block of Beaks St. in regards to a disturbance inside a vehicle. The described vehicle was not
located. At 7:50 p.m., Officer Sebastian was
dispatched to the 100 block of Boothe Dr. in regards to a 9-1-1 hang up call coming from the payphone. Several children around the phone advised that they had not seen anyone using the phone.
At 8:14 p.m., Sgt. S. D. Nelson ini- tiated a traffic stop on a vehicle that was violating the city park ordinance. The driver of the vehicle, Willie Mc- Donald, was arrested for driving while license invalid. McDonald was pro- cessed at the PD and transported to the Colorado County Detention Center for confinement.

with her compassion. Ron's family doctor referred him to
a specialist in Brenham who offered a variety of options telling Ron that he was going to have to make a decision. Since the tumor was slow growing, Ron could simply leave it alone. The family strongly disapproved of that option.
He could seek out natural healing techniques and add more lycopene (an anticancer fighter found in supple- ments, tomatoes, other fruits and veg- etables) to his diet in hopes of prevent- ing further cancer growth. That was not favored by his family either. He could opt for traditional radiation or he could combine radiation with a relatively new treatment, brachytherapy. "You will have treatment." Doris calmly told h- im.
Several months later he was ready to make his decision; radiation in con- junction with brachytherapy. He had shielded and precisely targeted radia- tion for 5 days a week for 6 weeks fol- lowed by the Brachy Therapy. Urgency led him to find all the bathrooms from here to Spring Branch clinic.
Doris was Ron's primary and sup- portive caregiver. Friends in Columbus and the fellowship from church offered transportation, delivered prepared fo- ods, and invited them to share meals. The round trip drive was nearly 140 miles combined with long days of ra- diation and tests. To make the long trips bearable daughter Juliene in Katy and their grand-daughter in Sugarland in- vited them to spend the night. "I had a
