Pendleton team looks to open ozone therapy center
By ANTONIO SIERRA
East Oregonian
A nurse practitioner and
a tire shop owner are team-
ing up to open Pendleton’s
fi rst ozone therapy facility.
Scott Sullivan, the owner
of Pendleton Tire Factory,
and Michele Davies, a nurse
practitioner at Eastern Ore-
gon Correctional Institu-
tion, aim to open the Cen-
ter for Ozone Therapy on
June 1.
Both are converts to the
therapy after using ozone
injections to heal chronic
pain issues.
Sullivan said the pain in
his shoulders was so great
that he could no longer fl y
fi sh or rope.
Staring down a poten-
tial $10,000 to $12,000 bill
for shoulder replacement
surgery, Sullivan went to
get ozone therapy in Wash-
ington, which he said has
healed him of his pain over
several sessions.
Davies was skeptical
herself until she was given
an ozone injection at a train-
ing and stopped feeling pain
from a knot in her back.
Despite the owners’
enthusiasm, the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration
does not approve of ozone
therapy.
“Ozone is a toxic gas
with no known useful med-
ical application in specifi c,
adjunctive, or preventive
therapy,” the FDA states.
“In order for ozone to be
effective as a germicide, it
must be present in a con-
centration far greater than
that which can be safely
tolerated by man and
animals.”
Sullivan and Davies
argued that there are other
treatments that are not
approved by the FDA, and
ozone therapy has an inter-
national following.
Davies said that if a cus-
tomer gives ozone therapy a
try and doesn’t see results,
she won’t begrudge custom-
ers who don’t return.
Regardless of the wider
contention
surrounding
ozone therapy, Sullivan and
Davies said they’re already
starting to generate interest
and potential patients just
through word of mouth.
The Center for Ozone
Therapy will be located
in the Sierra Profes-
sional Building at 202 S.E.
Dorion Ave.

U.S. stocks rebound,
but S&P 500 ends with
3rd weekly loss
By DAMIAN J. TROISE
AND ALEX VEIGA
AP Business Writers
Stocks on Wall Street
notched modest gains Fri-
day, erasing some of the
market’s steep losses from a
day earlier.
The upbeat fi nish to a
turbulent week still left the
market with its third straight
weekly loss.
Stocks swung between
gains and losses all week as
investors weighed the pros-
pect of a prolonged trade
war between the U.S. and
China. Trading has been
volatile since the dispute
escalated earlier this month,
with both sides raising tar-
iffs on each other’s goods.
Financial companies led
the buying Friday as the
yield on the 10-year Trea-
sury note reversed part of
a steep slide a day earlier.
Rising yields boost interest
rates on loans, which makes
lending more profi table.
The
modest
gains
snapped a two-day los-
ing streak for the S&P 500
as investors saw opportu-
nity after the previous days’
wave of selling.
“Today you’re just see-
ing a rebound, really almost
across the board, so that tells
you yesterday everything
was just being sold with no
rhyme or reason,” said Ben
Phillips, chief investment
offi cer at EventShares.
The S&P 500 rose 3.82
points, or 0.1%, to 2,826.06.
The benchmark index ended
the week with a 2.3% loss.
The Dow Jones Indus-
trial Average gained 95.22
points, or 0.4%, to 25,585.69.
The Nasdaq composite
added 8.72 points, or 0.1%,
to 7,637.01.
Small company stocks
fared better than the rest
of the market. The Russell
2000 index climbed 12.73
points, or 0.9%, to 1,514.11.
Major stock indexes in
Europe fi nished broadly
higher.
The market’s modest
rebound came ahead of a
three-day holiday weekend.
Wild Goose Design in
downtown Hermiston is
hosting artist Laura Gable
on June 6.
Shoppers can meet the
Kennewick-based
artist
and browse her work for
sale from 4:30-7:30 p.m. as
part of June’s First Thurs-
day event downtown. Wild
Goose Design is located at
215 E. Main St.
A collection of Gable’s
oil paintings won fi rst place
at the Hermiston Art Festi-
val on May 18, and her work
has been shown in public
galleries and private collec-
tions throughout the coun-
try. Her paintings of life in
Eastern Washington have
made their way into various
national magazines, includ-
ing the cover of SkyWest.
Wild Goose Design
owner Bonnie Greiner said
she is excited to host Gable.
Bonnie and her husband
Glenn Greiner opened their
Main Street storefront a few
months ago. The shop fea-
tures home decor, furniture,
art, jewelry, soap, greet-
ing cards, clothing, gar-
den decorations, food and
more made in Oregon and
Washington.

One of artist Laura Gable’s paintings sits on display at Wild Goose Design in Hermiston.
Gable will be visiting the shop on June 6.
Much of the store’s offer-
ings, including jewelry
and furniture, are made
in Hermiston by the cou-
ple. Bonnie said Glenn is a
“fabulous carpenter” who
makes pieces from scratch
and refurbishes vintage
items.
“We do a lot of custom
work,” she said.
While the Main Street
storefront is new, the Grein-
ers are no strangers to the
business. They have been in
Hermiston for more than 48
years — raising fi ve daugh-
ters in the Hermiston school
system along the way —
and have had various busi-
nesses in the past.
For years they have
brought their wares to trade
shows and sold them to gift
shops and furniture stores,
but Bonnie said they are
pleased to be back to sell-
ing directly to Hermiston
residents.
“We are excited about
being in Hermiston,” she
said. “There are a lot of
exciting things going on for
a small town.”
She said they hope peo-
ple will realize the value
of buying something cus-
tom-made by a local busi-
ness instead of mass-pro-
duced in China.
Hours at Wild Goose
Design are 10 a.m. to 5:30
p.m Wednesday through
Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
on Saturday. For more infor-
