Newspaper Page Text9B THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2017 Cider business Side effects emerge after bill progresses approval for many US drugs Proposal would allow on-site production, marketing By LINDSEY TANNER Associated Press By MATEUSZ PERKOWSKI EO Media Group Eric Mortenson/EO Media Group Suzie Hoffman samples a glass of hard cider during the Hard-Pressed Cider Fest in Hood River in April 2016. U.S. sales of cider surged more than 300 percent between 2010 and 2015, to about $870 million, with Northwest consumers being particularly keen for the beverage, according to tes- timony from the Northwest Cider Association, which has 25 members in Oregon. Rep. Ken Helm, D-Bea- verton, commended SB 677’s supporters for emulat- ing existing land use provi- sions for Oregon wineries, rather than trying to create a whole new system for their industry. “There’s fewer unknowns here,” Helm said. Nobody spoke against the bill during the commit- tee hearing, but written tes- timony submitted by the Oregon Farm Bureau was unenthusiastic. The organization wants to encourage Oregon’s cider industry but is con- cerned “about the breadth of activities authorized” under SB 677, much as it was concerned about pre- viously enacted rules for wineries, said Mary Anne Nash, OFB’s public policy counsel. The proposal allows bed- and-breakfast operations and other activities “seem- ingly unrelated” to agricul- ture in farm zones, without requiring cider businesses to own the orchards, she said. “This could result in the development of a produc- tion facility and business center that is not actually part of the farm use on the property,” Nash said. 360 Furniture & HH Goods EVERYTHING YGU NEED TG GUTFIT YGUR HGUSE: Accessories, lamps, pictures, pots and pans, dishes, towels, and bed linens.

While most safety con- cerns were not serious enough to prompt recalls, the ﬁ nd- ings raise questions about how thoroughly drugs are tested before approval, said drug safety expert Thomas Moore. But Ross said the results sug- gest that the FDA “is kind of doing a great job” at scrutiniz- ing drugs after approval. New drugs are generally life-threatening conditions linked with the drugs. There were also dozens of alerts for less serious potential harms and three drug withdrawals because of the potential for death or other serious harm. Among the drugs with added warnings: Humira, used for arthritis and some other illnesses; Abilify, used for depression and other men- tal illness; and Pradaxa, a blood thinner. The withdrawn drugs and the reason: Bextra, an anti-inﬂ ammatory medi- cine, heart problems; Raptiva, a psoriasis drug, rare nervous system illness; and Zelnorm, a bowel illness drug, heart problems. Safety issues were most common for psychiatric drugs and biologic drugs — made from living cells rather than chemicals — than for older drug types. Drugs brought to market through “acceler- ated” approval were slightly more likely to have later safety issues than those approved through conventional chan- nels, a link seen in some previ- ous research.

A public comment period began in early January and was to end March 14 but was extended to April 28 at the request of the public and local ofﬁ cials. More than 120,000 com- ments were received, and it will take three to six months for NPS to process them, said Denise Shultz, spokeswoman at the North Cascades National Park Service Complex in Sedro Woolley. An analysis of the com- ments won’t include how many were from out of state or how many are for reintroduction, but will be more along the lines of identifying things or alterna- tives that NPS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may have missed that may need further data or study, Shultz said. The comments focus on a draft environmental impact statement that includes a no-ac- tion alternative and three alter- natives to restore a reproducing population of about 200 bears by bringing them in from other areas. Restoring grizzlies would “enhance the probability of longterm survival and con- servation of grizzly bears in the contiguous United States, thereby contributing to over- all grizzly bear recovery and greater biodiversity of the eco- system,” the agencies have said. Grizzlies were listed as a threatened species in the contig- uous U.S. in 1975. They were listed as endangered in Wash- ington state in 1980. A ﬁ nal environmental impact statement may come late this year or early next year, with a decision a month or so later, Shultz said. By DAN WHEAT EO Media Group 5 North Cascades Ecosystem 99 ra St SALEM — A proposal to expand allowable activi- ties for cider businesses on farmland is sailing through the Oregon legislature with minimal opposition. Imitating rules estab- lished for wineries, Senate Bill 677 would permit cider businesses to produce and sell their beverages, serve food and conduct other agri- tourism activities on-site in farm zones. Companies generating less than 100,000 gallons of cider a year would have to be within or next to an orchard of at least 15 acres to take advantage of the provisions. The orchard size require- ment would increase to 40 acres for those busi- nesses producing more than 100,000 gallons annually, under the bill. The Senate has unani- mously approved SB 677 and it’s now heading for a vote on the House ﬂ oor after clearing the House Commit- tee on Economic Develop- ment and Trade with a “do pass” recommendation on May 3. Cider businesses are sim- ilar to wineries in terms of government regulation and the process of crushing fruit to make juice that’s then fer- mented into alcohol, said Dan Lawrence, founder of Stone Circle Cider near Estacada, Ore. The goal of SB 677 is to provide cider companies with the same opportunity to process and sell their prod- uct, while educating con- sumers about how it’s made, said Lawrence. “Oregon is in a strong position to be a leader, if not the leader, in this indus- try nationwide,” he said. “It helps bring dollars and jobs to the countryside.” CHICAGO — Almost one- third of new drugs approved by U.S. regulators over a decade ended up years later with warn- ings about unexpected, some- times life-threatening side effects or complications, a new analysis found. The results covered all 222 prescription drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration from 2001 through 2010. The researchers looked at potential problems that cropped up during routine monitoring that’s done once a medicine is on the market. The 71 ﬂ agged drugs included top-sellers for treating depres- sion, arthritis, infections and blood clots. Safety issues included risks for serious skin reactions, liver damage, cancer and even death. “The large percentage of problems was a surprise,” and they included side effects not seen during the review pro- cess, said Dr. Joseph Ross, the study’s lead author and an associate professor of medi- tested ﬁ rst in hundreds or even thousands of people for safety and effectiveness. “We know that safety con- cerns, new ones, are going to be identiﬁ ed once a drug is used in a wider population. That’s just how it is,” Ross said. “The fact that that’s such a high num- ber means the FDA is work- ing hard to evaluate drugs and once concerns are identiﬁ ed, they’re communicating them.” The researchers analyzed online FDA data on new drugs and the agency’s later safety announcements. Problems sur- faced on average about four years after approval. Results were published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medi- cal Association. The FDA said in a statement that it performs post-market monitoring “to identify new safety information that may impact product labeling.” The agency said it would review the study ﬁ ndings but declined to comment further. The study counted black- box warnings for dozens of drugs; these involved serious problems including deaths or 2 90 Tacoma 97 Wenatchee 28 90 Olympia Source: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; National Park Service Alan Kenaga/Capital Press L EGAL N OTICES L EGAL N OTICES L EGAL N OTICES L EGAL N OTICES AB6254 Notice of Skipanon Water Control District Budget Committee and Board of Directors Meetings AB6301 Notice of Budget Committee Meeting A public meeting of the Budget Committee of the Olney Walluski Fire & Rescue Dist, Clatsop County, in the State of Oregon, to discuss the budget for the fiscal year July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018, will be held at Riverpoint Fire Station 36115 Riverpoint Dr, Astoria, OR.
