Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, July 26, 1995 - THREE Five generations gather for reunion Area children enjoy S D A Bible school Jeremy Wright and daughter Katelyn, Linda Pettyjohn, Lola A nn Pettyjohn and Ruth McCabe were a five generation group at a birthday party for Ruth McCabe held at the • Legion Hall in lone, June 29. 1 Family members came from New York, North Carolina, Texas, Arizona, California, Alaska, W ashington and Oregon for a family reunion held at the same time. After an afternoon of visiting, the family enjoyed a potluck dinner at the H dl in the even ing. A slide show of the family through the years "brought many chuckles," said a family spokesperson.

Classes from "cradle roll" through juniors were offered each afternoon. To start each day, children gathered in the church and were treated to special children's songs which were "vocalized with happy enthusiasm and laughter". The children also saw a skit by the juniors' Good Life Team to teach them how to be friends forever and how not to be ex clusive in making friends, said Parm. The skit was followed by memory verse reciting and prayer. Division leaders, Kelly Fritz, Joyce Grasser, Diane Monroe and Delta Huber, were under the leadership of Sharia Erich. Classes offered instruction in crafts, hands-on first aid, home survival skills, personal safety awareness, Bible stories and o th e r related activities. "Children were so thrilled with their craft projects, they in sisted on taking them home each day rather than waiting until the last day for parents' day,” said Parm. Playground activities were supervised and games were chosen to enhance cooperation and team spirit, rather than competition, added Parm.

Box 170 Boardman, Oregon 97818 481-9474 481-7351 Timing of Medicine May Improve Therapy How and when medicines are taken often needs to correspond with other events that are occur ring in the body. Medical research ers who study body rhythms have identified a biological clock that describes the frequency o f many body functions. Understanding body rhythms can help determine the best time for dosing medicines. According to a review of bio rhythm studies in a recent issue of American Journal o f Health Sys tem Pharmacy , short-acting medi cines for high blood pressure, an gina, and arrhythmias should be given in the morning because heart attacks, strokes, and other heart related problems tend to occur most often between 6 AM and 12 noon. Researchers believe such problems are related to early morning re lease of chemicals called cate cholamines. Corticosteroid medi cines also are usually given in the morning. This time of dosing par allels the normal release of cortisol and helps prevent a dysfunction or shut down of the adrenal glands. In contrast, long-acting high blood pressure medicines may best be given at bedtime. This helps assure adequate drug blood levels the next morning. Medicines which prevent cholesterol synthesis, such as simvastatin, are more effective when given in the evening hours because the body tends to produce cholesterol at night. .i Check numbers again for O D F W big game controlled hunt Children enjoy activities at SDA Bible school Parm.
