These areas make up less than 1.5 percent of U S West's business in Oregon said a press release. With this purchase, PTI will become the third largest telephone company in Oregon. Presently, it serves 46,000 customer access lines in 34 com munities throughout the state. The U S West properties repre sent an additional 16,000 lines, which serve approxim ately 13.000 residence and business customers. Chuck Lenard, vice president for U S West, said the sale will strengthen the positions of both companies in the state. “ When we initially announced the sale in November, we said we would look for a buyer with the technical expertise and commit ment to serve these areas.. PTI specializes in serving smaller communities such as these,” he said. PTI is the 17th largest telephone company in the coun try. It serves approximately 400.000 customer access lines in 11 states. PTI also has long distance operations serving Alaska. Bill Weinman, vice president of PTI Communications in Oregon, said, “ This transaction will be good for both companies and our customers. It fits very well with our long-term business objectives and we are proud to be able to expand our service ter ritory in Oregon. During the next five years, we plan to invest more than $20 million to improve and expand service in the com munities we are purchasing from U S West.” Because PTI current ly provides service near some of the sale exchanges, the company will be able to serve the expand ed area more efficiently. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. The boards of both companies, the Oregon Public Utility Commission and the Federal Communications Com mission must approve the sale before it is finalized. Lenard said U S West will con tinue to serve the areas pending regulatory approval and through a transition period that could take several months. As part of the agreement, PTI will continue providing equal ac cess to long distance carriers, operator services, extended area service and 911 service. “ Both companies will work closely together to inform customers and respond to ques tions throughout the transition,” Lenard said. Other U S West service areas included in the sale are Jewell, G overnm ent Cam p, D rain, Shedd. Glide, North Umpqua. Camas Valley, Bly, Bonanza, Malin, Merrill, Gilchrist, Echo, North Powder, Durkee, Hun tington, John Day, Seneca, Bums, and North and South Harney.

Box 170 Boardman, Oregon 97818 481-9474 481-7351 Removal of Excess Ear Wax The outer part of the ear canal is lined with glands (called apo crine glands) that secrete ear wax or cerumen. Earwax is necessary to lubricate the ear canal and pro tect it by trapping foreign mate rials such as dust particles. Ear- wax also helps waterproof the ear canals. Earwax is removed by nor mal jaw movement (eating and talking). The wax rolls up into tiny globules and is expelled. Sometimes this natural process is impeded, and wax begins to accumulate in the ear canal. In some individuals, the apocrine glands are hyperactive, produc ing excess amounts of wax. In others, a narrow ear canal may encourage wax build up. A prob lem sometimes associated with excess wax is the trapping of water in the ear after swimming or showering. In the Service Air Force Airman Christopher E. Jones has graduated from Air Force basic training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, TX. During the six weeks of train ing the airman studied the Air Force mission, organization and customs and received special training in human relations. In addition, airmen who com plete basic training earn credits toward an associate degree through the Community College of the Air Force. Jones is the son of Lovann E. and retired Air Force Major Donald E Jones of Irrigon. He is a 1993 graduate of Huntingon High School.

These approaches can damage the ear. and wax can be pushed further into the canal, making it more difficult to re move. A better approach is use of a wax softening agent. Ac cording to a recent article in U.S. Pharmacist, the only over-the- counter wax removal agent that is safe and effective is carbam ide peroxide. After using prod ucts containing this medicine, the ear may be irrigated with warm water to hasten wax removal.
