What to Do About
Intestinal Gas
Of the several causes of intes
tinal gas (flatulence), swallowing
air is reported to be the most com
mon cause. We tend to swallow air
when we open our mouths to eat,
chew gum, talk, or smoke ciga
rettes. If we eat too fast and do not
chew thoroughly or if we slurp or
talk with our mouths full, the
amount of air swallowed can in
crease significantly.
In addition, excess intestinal gas
may be produced from high-fiber
foods such as beans, broccoli, and
cabbage. Persons who are not able
to digest milk and dairy products
due to an enzyme deficiency often
produce gas when consuming dairy
products. Medicines which may
increase the amount of gas in the
gastrointestinal tract include
ibuprofen and other nonsteroidal
antiinflammatory agents, certain
antibiotics, and some medicines used
to lower blood cholesterol levels.
A medicine available as a single
ingredient product or in some over-
the-counter antacids is simethicone.
This medicine helps eliminate in
testinal gas by causing gas bubbles
to be broken down or pulled to
gether in a form that is more easily
passed as flatus or belching. The
U.S. Food and Drug Administra
tion (FDA) has determined that
simethicone is safe and effective
for this purpose. Another agent
that may be helpful in relieving gas
is charcoal.
measure in Morrow, Malheur
and Gilliam counties, voters in
Jefferson, Grant, Lake and Sher
man counties will be voting on
the same ballot measure at the
June 29 election.
The Sagebrush Coalition's
“ One Senator Per County” pro
ject director Gary Marks of
Heppner said he was pleased to
see the project develop so rapid
ly. “ The project is only five
months old and already we’ve
seen voters in three counties give
overwhelming stamps of approval
and four other counties prepared
to do the same in June,” Marks
said. “ I think this should be a
wake up call to the legislature that
rural Oregonians are dissatisfied
with O reg o n ’s system of
representation. It’s time the
legislature refer a measure to the
entire state and let the people
decide,” Marks said.
In March. Morrow County
voters turned in an impressive 77
percent approval rate for the
“ One Senator Per County” ballot
measure, while voters in Malheur
and Gilliam County gave a re
sounding 85 percent and 84 per
cent approval rate.
In April, state Senators Wes
Cooley, Gordon Smith and Rod
Johnson introduced legislation,
SJR41, which would allow a
statewide vote on a constitutional
amendment to establish a “ One
Senator Per County” system.
Currently, state senators are
elected to districts which are
determined by population only.
As a result, only four of Oregon’s
30 senators represent citizens
who live in counties east of the
Cascades. Giving each county
one senator would result in
Oregon’s east and west sides hav
ing 18 senators each. The idea is
patterned after similar systems
used in the U.S. Senate and the
W yoming
House
of
Representatives.

The students funded their pro
ject, which cost around $50 for
supplies through a no-bake sale.
Each student of the class of 1999
donated money to the project.

cond Tuesday there will be an

The friends of the Heppner

“ I’m excited about the Wild

special sparkle to this year’s sum

have planned look like a lot of
fun,” says district librarian
Wendell Buck. “ No one needs to
be bored this summer in Hepp
ner.”
Readers interested in par
ticipating in the summer reading

other activity. Themes for the in
dividual programs will include
“ Wild About Animals” , “ Wild
About History” , and “ Wild
About Mythology” .
This year’s goal device is
deliberately designed to nudge
readers into broadening their
reading habits. Readers who
chose to participate in the incen

to choose at least one book from
each of about 16 broad categories
such as animals, mythology,
award-winning books or sports.
Within each category choices can
be very broad, with something or
nearly everyone’s taste.
Plans are coming together to
