the court's and city'S new
budget proposal is acceptable I
for the 1991-92 fiscal year.
Judge William F. Bledsoe
submitted the court's new
1991-92 budget which
proposes a $5,000 increase as
opposed to last year's budget
'which requested $585,558.
As shown in the budget for
the 1990-91 fiscal year, only
$79,046 was spent by the court.
This number was recorded on
January 28 and has not been
updated since. Bledsoe said "I
, don't know what the problem is
with the finance department."
He said the finance depart­
ment is not monitoring the
revenue properly and that is
why they should not be in
charge of paying the bills.

Heartburn: Inflammation of the Esophagus
Despite the name, heartburn is not a burning sensation of the heart. In
fact, heartburn does not have anything to do with the heart. The medical
for heartburn is reflu esophagitis. The pain of heartburn occurs at

the movement of gastrointestinal tract contents (digestive juices and par­
�tially ',ested food) into the esophagus. Irritation of ti ues of the
eaoDblaus occurs.
Some individuals who have heartburn experience a burning nsation
10 to IS minutes after eating a normal meal. The pain also may occur with
overeating, smoking, drinking alcohol, eating highly. seasoned or spicy
foods, or lying down afta' eating a large meal.
Heartburn may be relieved merely by standing or itting up. Qiewy
chan that m y be beneficial include voiding initan such fruit
juices and alcohol. onprescription antacid medicines neuttalize stomach
acid and may lower ore on the lower esophagus. Liquid antacids are
commonly used for heartburn and often are recommended to be en after
and at bedtime.

done in order for Highland
Park to have a Work Release
Program and the financial

Highland Park does not

state or the city instead the
"District Control Unit is where
money comes from for the city" _
Judge Bledsoe explained. The
District Control Unit is a
separate entity which is run by
the city council.
Mayor Martha Scott also
presented the city's new 1991-

Council members are still un­
satified with the new budget. '
