an article in “ Prevention Works”
Volume 2, Number 2, 1993 en­
titled, “ Did You Know That...”
In the magazine it says that one
of three smokeless tobacco users
began as young as five years old
and the average age of first use
is nine years. Nearly one in four
Caucasian males uses spit tobac­
co, (Spit Tobacco and Youth, Of­
fice of Inspector General. Dec.
1992).
Illnesses and injuries caused by
the use of alcohol, tobacco and
other drugs accounted for nearly
40 percent of medical costs at
John Hopkins Hospital, accor­
ding to a recent study. (Substance
Abuse-Related Admissions to
Adult Intensive Care” , Chest,
Vol. 103, January, 1993).
The number of potential years
of life lost to alcohol and other
drug related injuries equals those
lost to cancer and surpasses those

Gardner’s Men’s Wear Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo all-around saddle will soon be on display in
the Heppner Main Street store. Pictured are L-R saddle maker Rich Boyer and saddle spon­
sors Marilyn and Roe Gardner. This is the third year Gardner’s have donated this custom saddle
to the annual PRCA rodeo.
The huffing and puffing of
diesel train engines may soon be
replaced by the puffing of
bicyclers, if a local group's ef­
forts prove successful.
The Willow Creek spur line,
which brings Union Pacific
freight trains up from the Colum­
bia to pick up lumber at Kinzua
mill, will probably be closing
soon, Kent Goodyear told the

Tuesday.
But under a program called
Rails to Trails, the rail line may
be converted to other uses, such
as a hiking, biking or bridal path,
Goodyear said.
He said it is almost certain
because of low shipping out of the
Heppner area, that the rail line
will be abandoned, but under the
conversion program after the rails
and ties are ripped up. the
railroad right of way could be
preserved and improved for
recreational uses. “ It's been quite
successful in the Klamath Falls
area.' ’ Goodyear said of the Rails
to Trails program.
A local group is meeting soon
to determine if the plan is feesi-
ble for this area. Goodyear said.
The Willow Creek railroad
spur is 45 miles long, with 30
bridges.

Sewing as a business
workshop offered
Sewing for money may be an
option for many seeking to
enhance or supplement family in­
comes, but it takes more than
sewing perfect seams to succeed
in the business world.
That’s why the OSU Extension
Service is offering a series of four
“ Sewing as a Business”
workshops in Oregon this sum­
mer and fall. A workshop will be
held in Pilot Rock the week of
Oct. 4.
Applications are available in
the Umatilla and Morrow Exten­
sion offices.
Workshops are limited to 25
persons, with preference given to
people interested in starting a
sewing-related business. Second
preference goes to those who
would like to improve profitabili­
ty of an existing enterprise.
Preference will also be given to
those from the host counties.
Others from surrounding areas
will be admitted on a space
available basis.
