Box 170 Boardman, Oregon 97818 481-9474 481-7351 New Medicine Holds Promise for MS Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and debilitating disease of the brain and spinal cord that af fects as many as 300,000 Ameri cans. Damage to nerve tracts in these areas of the body results in an impairment o f various body functions. Persons with MS may experience tingling and numbness in their arms or legs or on one side of the body, muscle spasms, visual problems, difficulty walking, and poor bladder control. Sometimes there is an attack followed by a symptom-free period for up to three years. Symptoms may or may not return. Some individuals experience repeated attacks. Dis ability and/or loss of vision may occur. Severe disability does not occur in every case, however. Although there is no effective treatment for MS at this time, a drug being evaluated in clinical trials may hold some promise. This agent is called beta interferon. Earlier this year the U.S. Food and Drug A dm inistration (F D A ), through its Peripheral and Central Nervous System Drugs Advisory Committee, reported that beta in terferon is effective in reducing the frequency o f neurological problems in patients with relaps ing-remitting MS. According to FDC Reports , the Committee fur ther indicated that the drug is safe for use in MS patients and recom mended that the drug be approved. If appoved, beta interferon will be the first medicine available spe cifically for the treatment of MS. Death Notice Anna S. Johnson Memorial service for Anna S.

St. Patrick’s Senior Center Bulletin Board Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Manager Chamber is receiving more and more calls from people wishing to move to our area. One of the first questions they ask is “ Do you have doctors and a hospital?” Many small communities are los ing population rapidly because of lack o f medical facilities. Sometimes we forget just how fortunate we are. Our doctors are not only important to our physical health but to the overall health of Heppner. It is for this reason that the Chamber of Commerce will be hosting an appreciation dessert for Drs. Ed and Jeanne Berretta from noon to 1 p.m. next Tues day, July 13 at the Heppner Elks Club. There will be a short pro gram and the public is invited to come to say ‘thank you’ to Ber- rettas for their dedication. If you have questions, call the Chamber office 676-5536 or Ann Murray 676-9158. Looking ahead: Tuesday, July 20, the program will be Gary Neal giving Heppner an update on Port of Morrow activities, and July 27 chamber members are looking forward to a tour of Kinzua. It’s beginning to feel like sum mer and about time too. Camp ing inquiries are frequent this1 time of year and thanks to John Edmundson, of the Morrow County Tourism Committee, Chamber now has a handout listing information on all RV facilities in the county. There are many options available, ranging from river to mountains. Enjoy. Thought for the week: Do not use a hatchet to remove a fly from your friend's forehead...Chinese Proverb.
