What to Do About
Insect Bites and Stings
Summertime activities place
many persons at risk of being stung
or bitten by insects. It is reported
that more than 2 million individu­
als in the U .S. are allergic to insect
venom. Reactions to insect bites
and stings range from mild to se­
vere, and possibly life-threatening.
Symptoms may include skin red­
ness, itching, shortness o f breath,
swelling in the throat, coughing,
dizziness, and shock (a drop in
blood pressure caused by loss of
fluid from the blood vessels).
Stings from bees, wasps, hor­
nets and yellow jackets can occur
quickly. A fatal reaction (called
anaphylaxis) can result within
minutes. According to Dr. Farid
Sadik (University of South Caro­
lina), writing in a recent issue of
Pharmacy Today, persons with a
known allergy to insect stings
should carry an epinephrine kit with
them every time they go outside.
When they get stung, the epineph­
rine should be injected immedi­
ately. Dr. Sadik indicates that per­
sons with insect allergies should
know how to inject themselves and
show family members how to use
the kit. If persons are uncertain as
to whether or not they are allergic
to insect stings, they should see a
physician for allergy testing. Mild
reactions to insect stings may re­
spond favorably to aspirin, hydro­
cortisone cream, and topical antihis­
tamines. Use of insect repellants may
help discourage insect bites/stings.
ty Rodeo.
Music at the Elk's will be pro­
vided by the Beck-A-Roos. The
band starts at 9 p.m. with the
team ropers auctioned for the
Calcutta during the break.
Whoever ''ow ns'' the winning
roping team will get the pot.
Those interested may pick up
a list of entrants at the rodeo
prior to the Calcutta.
Cost for the dance at the Elk's
is $2.50 at the door.
The Beck-A-Roos will also
play during the rodeo and will
be sponsored by the Bank of
Eastern Oregon during that
time.
Over 50 local ropers entered
the team roping contest last
year. Last year's winners were:
first, Steve Miller and Cliff
Dougherty; second Bob and
Dave Steagall; third Jerry Gen­
try, John Moyer; fourth Jim
Ward, Tony Currin; fifth Tara
Doutre, Mike Mahoney; and
sixth Ron McDowell, Bob
Mahoney.
Heritage Land Company and
Bob and Bev Steagall are spon­
sors of the Morrow County

Gribble demonstrates lubrication device
Lowell Gribble, president of
U.P.M. Inc. (Ultrasonic Predic­
table Maintenance), was in­
vited by the Equipment Main­
tenance Council (EMC) of
Portland to put on a demon­
stration at the south Portland
Holiday Inn of the two units of
predictable maintenance that
U.P.M. and U.V.L.M. (Ultra-
Vibe Lubrication Monitoring)
produce.
Gribble reports that the
response was immediate. In
fact, one person called UVLM
of Centralia the next morning
before he got home from the
meeting.
U.P.M. is the service com­
pany through which bearings
can be tested for wear and
lubrication.
Gribble's son, Doug, came
up with the idea to put a detec­
tor on the end of a grease gun
and the Ultra Lube and U.V.
L.M. were bom.
Ultra Lube consists of an
avaition headset which is plac­
ed on the end of a grease gun
and allows an operator to
determine by sound whether

taught preschool in Boise for
eight years, but now plans to
stay home with their children
for the time being. The couple
plans to home school their chil­
dren.
Johnson's father was in
heavy construction, so the
family moved around quite a
bit. However, they spent a ma­
jority of time in central Idaho,
living in New Meadows, Idaho,
a town of around 500-600 peo­
ple and in Boise. C.J. grew up
in Boise.
Johnson says that he doesn't
plan any changes at the church,
but hopes to fit into the com­
munity and get to know every­
one. He says he hopes the con­
gregation will grow.
Johnson likes hunting, fish­
ing and kayaking and C.J. en­
joys reading.
