Letters to the Editor
Sharkey has time and energy
To the Editor:
Since my return to Boardman,
some 11 years ago, I have seen
the Port of Morrow grow and
prosper. The activity has had a
positive impact on the communi
ty, county and local businesses.
Part of the reason for that growth
has been qualified people involv
ed on the commission.
As past chairman of the Port of
Morrow budget committee, I
have had the opportunity to watch
and observe these commissioners
in action. I have been impressed
with Bill Sharkey. Bill asks tough
questions about the day to day
operations of the Port. He has, I
believe a better understanding of
the day to day operations of the
port than the other commis
sioners. This comes with Bill’s
trucking business working out of
the port on a daily basis. Bill has
been directly involved in the
negotiation with Portland General
Electric, on the Coyote Springs
Co-Generation Plant. This pro
ject, if it continues on its current
track, could be the best project
that the port has had.
Bill puts in a lot of time and ef
fort on this commission. I believe
that his past performance war
rants our continued support. I
would like everyone to join me
in voting to reelect Bill Sharkey
for port commissioner.
Yours very truly,
(s) Don Russell
Take tough stance on drinking abuse
To the Editor:
The people of Morrow Coun
ty should look to the action taken
by Peter F. Sandrock, Jr., the
Benton County district attorney.
He has taken a tough stand on
persons who drink while driving
and on men who assault their
wives. Drinking drivers and
abusive spouses happen to be two
of society’s biggest problems.
Anyone who goes after them to
fullest extent of the law ought to
be lauded with praise.
The city police in the Salem
area, located in Marion County,
have been pulling people over
who have just come out of a local
tavern after maybe only having
one or two beers.
Sandrock is criticized by some
people like Dean Bautz, founder
of Benton County Citizens for
Justice, that he follows a zero-
tolerance policy on prosecuting
suspected drunk drivers. Mean
while the tavern owners in Salem
complained that the city police
were deliberately staking out
drinking establishments in their
campaign against drinking
drivers.
While these two cases appear
to be extreme examples of law
enforcement, it bears remember
ing that more than half of the 49
males between the ages of 15 and
20 who were killed in traffic ac
cidents last year in Oregon had
been drinking. Nationwide,
almost half of the 44,529 traffic
deaths in 1990 were alcohol
related. That is one death every
24 minutes in a drinking-driver
traffic accident.
As for domestic violence, the
tougher the law gets, the better.
Is there any excuse for a man
beating up his wife or vice-versa?
Not in our book, and not in the
view of 99 percent of the public.
Domestic violence, however, is
often the sign of other problems,
including alcohol, drugs and
unemployment; arrest and pro
secution must not be the only of
ficial attention paid to the crime.
But first comes arrest and pro
secution, and then appropriate
treatment or punishment.
I hope that you take some time
and think about drinking and
V CHEVROLET f
driving or domestic violence and
about actions of Peter Sandrock
and Salem City Police.
The actions of Peter Sandrock
and Salem city police are worth
noting and encouraging if we
want a drug/alcohol free com
munity to raise our children. So
give it some serious thought.
Sincerely,

Allergic Reactions
to Insulin
Allergic reactions to insulin, an
injectable hormone used by many
diabetics, can involve the site o f
injection or, much less commonly,
the bloodstream. Reactions at the
injection site may occur as burning,
redness, and itching for up to 12
hours after an injection. A single
oral dose o f an antihistamine may
help reduce redness and itching. If
local reactions continue, it may be
come necessary to switch to a differ
ent source or type of insulin.
An allergic reaction to insulin
can occur from insulin derived from
animals (pork and beef) or from
insulin produced in laboratories.
However, according to the Ameri
can Hospital Formulary Service,
studies have shown fewer allergy
problems associated with the hu
man-type insulin produced in the
lab than with purified pork insulin
According to Dr. Leslie Grammer,
Professor o f Medicine at North
western U niversity, writing in
Pharmacy Timè's, the potential for
allergies to various insulin types
varies from person to person. An
additional source for allergies is the
contaminants or impurities found in
insulin products.
In diabetics who must take insu
lin and yet have had local or sys
temic reactions, a desensitization
procedure is recommended by some
physicians. Insulin is injected into
and/or under the skin over several
days, starting with very low doses
and ending with doses in the thera
peutic range.
