She has given so much of her time, not only to regular meetings but, evening phone calls, and numerous weekends, selling can dy, working on a float or getting things ready for upcoming meetings. Being a campfire leader is not a paid position. It is strictly donated time and effort. Since the beginning of the year it seems like Merry has had very little kind words spoken to her and a lot of criticism. The classes she is teaching are twice as big as in other towns. This makes for chaos for one leader and one Justice Court Report____ helper. Campfire could really benefit from parents who could volunteer their time to help out at meetings. After attending a few meetings myself a little extra help could really make a big difference and help things go more smoothly for Merry and the kids. The assistant leader is Cindy Kennedy and Bob and Aloha DeSpain also donate alot of their time for behind the scenes dedication. People like Merry don’t come along every day, and it would sure be nice if we could all let her know how much we appreciate all her hard work. Hopefully she won't be too burnt out to tackle it again next year.

People attending were Kim Bedortha, John Doherty and the leader Stacey Wainwright. Glen Krebs was the tour guide for the afternoon. He told the group that when they unloaded the sheep from the trucks, they put the loading chute over the fence to unload the lambs in order to keep them from returning to the gates. They do this so they know where their food and water was. They also use mud blocks instead of salt blocks because the sheep couldn’t get as good a lick as a cow can on a salt block. When the sheep have feet pro blems they put a special foot bath mix in front of the watering trough so when the sheep get a drink they help their feet. They put laundry detergent in with their salt so when the sheep finish eating it will help them get the gas out of their stomachs. This keeps the sheep from bloating and dying. Glen starts the sheep out on haylage then move them to com.

Box 170 Boardman, Oregon 97818 481-9474 481-7351 New Class of Medicines for Mental Depression An estim a ted 13 m illio n Americans suffer from major m en tal depressive disorders. Studies indicate that about 15 percent o f older persons suffer from depres sion but many depressed persons do not obtain medical attention. Of those who seek help, many are not receiving the care they need. A c cording to a report in American Pharmacy, a paper presented at a recent National Institutes o f Health conference indicated that more than 60 percent o f the elderly who suf fer from depression are not receiv ing appropriate treatment. The good news about all o f this is that 80 to 90 percent o f persons with depression can be helped. Two important forms of care for treating depression include antidepressant m ed icin es and p sychotherapy (counseling by psychiatrists and other mental health experts). Until recently the most effec tive antidepressant medicines were the tricyclic compounds and the m onoam ine oxidase inhibitors. The newest antidepressant medi cines are referred to as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. This cla ss o f m ed icin es in clu d es fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zolof). and paroxetine (Paxil). These medicines are thought to in crease brain levels o f a chemical called “serotonin’’. Some studies have shown that the newer medicines are as effective as other antidepres sants, but produce fewer side ef fects, in many instances. 8th ANNUAL EASTERN OREGON ji SPORTSMAN’S SHOW iw Pendleton Convention Center * * * * * * * * Pontius Pilate to ‘visit’ Lutherans Pontius Pilate, the governor of Judea, will share his impressions of the last days of Jesus’ life prior to his crucifixion at the mid-week Lenten service at Valby and Hope Lutheran Churches.
