SIX- Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday. December 7, 1994 Sheriffs Report In order to stay in step with Heppner area Christmas elves, one needs to begin earlier each year. Obviously many people have been doing their homework in order to present such a delightful assortment of crafts and goodies at last Saurday's in famous Artifactory. For myself it's an effort just to turn the calendar to December knowing that I'm already 11 months behind. And unless there is another month added to next year, it will probably be the same thing all over again. Along with all the tinsel, lights and glitter, one of the homeiest touches is provided by the Heppner Garden Club. Year after year those elves keep turning out an amazing number of Christmas wreaths and swags to brighten doorways. And the profits from all that volunteer labor go back into the community in the form of scholarships and making tables festive for special occasions. Then there are the ambitious souls who come to that workshop to fashion their own wreaths made from a plentiful assortment of fresh evergreens. There really ought to be an admission charge just to savor the pungent smell of those greens. It all happens because willing souls like Wilbur Jackson and Riley Munkers and the Orval Mathenys who trek to the forests and others who harvest their own backyard shrubbery. At the Artifactory Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus are a feature to delight children. However inspite of the reward of a candy cane there were a number of toddlers who couldn't be bribed into sitting on Santa's lap. For the braver ones who did perch on his lap, years from now those pictures will remind them how gullible they were. Another highlight of this occasion were the Christmas carols sung by State Patrol officer Tim Cundell. I don't plan on finding out what kind of music he sings when handling out a citation, but his melodious voice was a spectacular treat. On the more lively tunes, he was even accompanied by the dancing of two small boys who seem filled with the Christmas spirit. It's a great community to give of time, the caring and sharing of small town life. Whether it's Lunch with Santa by the chamber, the Artifactory, managed by the Soroptimists or the individuals who take the time to fashion homemade things every year it on ly gets better. And let's not forget about helping to fill those many Christmas baskets that are put together at the Neighborhood Center. It seems one doesn't have to write a letter to Santa in order to get a wish list fulfilled. But the best gift of all is the kindness to others and remembering what Christmas is all about. It's unfortunate that we can't teach the rest of the world how to get in step with our music.___________________ Player of Week T re n t H ug hes Kelsie Eva n s Players of the week are sp onsored by M u sta n g /Fillie 21 C o a s t to C o a st Les Sc h w a b First In te rsta te Bank Plo yha r Insurance M urra y Drugs Bank o f Ea ste rn O re g o n Miller & Son W e ld in g R o g e r Britt Pu m p ing & G re e n Fe ed & Seed D u m p Tru c k V a n M a rte r & Kahl C a ls BP Servic e Insurance D evin Oil Co.

Pharmacy & Your Health Boardman Pharmacy & Hardware 202 1st. N. W. P.O. Box 170 Boardman, Oregon 97818 481-9474 481-7351 High Blood Pressure Medicine May Help Winter Depression Depression may occur in some persons during the winter months simply because they are exposed to fewer hours of sun light. Researchers have discov ered that darkness causes the tiny pineal gland in the brain to pro duce more of a substance called melatonin. This substance is thought to play an important role in the normal daily rhythms of the body and as such may be useful in sleep regulation. One of the treatments recom mended for depression associ ated with darkness is light ther apy. Sitting in front of a bright light for extended periods of time has been reported to decrease fatigue and depression. Light therapy also may be involved in decreasing melatonin secretion. A group of blood pressure medicines known as the beta blockers also decreases melato nin production. Physicians who see patients with winter depres sion may prescribe for this condition since antide pressant medicines commonly used in depression do not always help. One of the problems with beta blockers is that they some times can cause fatigue and men tal depression themselves. Ac cording to clinicians who have used beta blocker medicines to treat winter depression, they should be used early in the morn ing and in low doses. propranlol 1994 Olds Delta 88 4-door-:-Loaded Car.......
