One new addition to this year's Red Ribbon Week was a student-made video showing the harm that drugs can do. There was a lot of hard work put into making the Red Ribbon Rib-bon Week video this year. Some students think that this year's video was more effective than previous videos. This opinion may have been affected by having hav-ing a student from MJHS talk about the effect drugs have had on his family. On Friday there were two assemblies where the K9 unit from the Payson Police Department came. They talked about their dogs and how they were trained to find drugs. Three students from the crowd were chosen to try and see which box the drugs were under by smelling them. The dogs clearly"out-smelled" clearly"out-smelled" the students. At the end of the assembly as-sembly the K9 unit had a surprise for the MJHS students and faculty. A teacher was chosen by the students to be "attacked" by one of the dogs. In the first assembly Mr. Wright was chosen, and Mrs. Bailey Bai-ley was chosen in the second sec-ond one. Even though Red Ribbon Week is over, students will continue to be drug free.

Beginning on Jan. 1, 2009, the standard mileage mile-age rates for the use of a car (also vans, pickups, or panel trucks) will be: 55 cents per mile for business miles driven 24 cents per mile driven for medical or moving purposes pur-poses 14 cents per mile driven in service of charitable organizations or-ganizations The new rates for business, busi-ness, medical and moving purposes are slightly lower low-er than rates for the second sec-ond half of 2008 that were raised by a special adjustment adjust-ment mid-year in response to a spike in gasoline prices. pric-es. The rate for charitable purposes is set by law and is unchanged from 2008. The business mileage rate was 50.5 cents in the first half of 2008 and 58.5 cents in the second half. The medical and moving rate was 19 cents in the first half and 27 cents in the second half. The mileage rates for 2009 reflect generally higher transportation costs compared to a year ago, but the rates also factor in the recent reversal of rising ris-ing gasoline prices. While gasoline is a significant factor fac-tor in the mileage rate, other oth-er fixed and variable costs, such as depreciation, enter the calculation: The standard mileage rate for business is based on an annual study of the fixed and variable costs of operating an automobile. The rate for medical and moving purposes is based on the variable costs as determined by the same study.
