Film provides health info
To the Editor:
On June 17, PBS aired the film
“A Healthy Baby G irl” about
filmmaker Judith Helfand’s expe­
rience with DES-related cancer of
the cervix. Many viewers who
saw the film may want to know
where to turn for information
about DES. They should know
that DES Action is a non-profit
organization that they can call at
1-800-DES-NEWS to receive a
free packet of information.
For more than 30 years, phar­
maceutical companies sold DES
to millions of pregnant American
women, even knowing that the
drug was ineffective and possibly
carcinogenic. Only in 1971, when
doctors discovered the link be­
tween DES and vaginal cancer in
some young women exposed in
utero, did the FDA recommend
that DES not be given to pregnant
women.

A lthough cancer in DES
daughters rem ains the most
widely publicized health effect
resulting from DES exposure,
there are many other health ef­
fects in those (including sons and
grandchildren) exposed to this
drug.
That is why Representative
Louise Slaughter and Tom Harkin
are spearheading the “DES Edu­
cation and Research Amend­
ments o f 1997” bill H R. 1788.
Areas to be researched include:
autoimmune disorders and dis­
eases; clear cell cancer; breast
cancer; third generation; and DES
sons. The education part of the
bill would be a national program
to educate professionals and the
public about the drug commonly
known as DES.
Sincerely,
(s) Holly C. Larsen
DES Action affiliate for Oregon
Bend, OR

OSU issues
homemade jerky
warning
A recent outbreak of E.coli
0157:H7
from
homemade
venison jerky in Oregon has
prompted
Oregon
State
University food scientists to pull
recommendations for making any
meat jerky at home.
The bacteria was found not
only on the jerky but also on the
dehydrator which had been
cleaned for storage.
This suggests E.coli 0157:H7
survives the home drying process
for jerky as well as remains on
the dehydrator where it could
contaminate other foods, said
Carol Michael, OSU Extension
agent for Morrow and Umatilla
counties.
Dehydrators previously used to
make jerky should be washed in
hot, soapy water and then
sanitized with a solution of one
tablespoon chlorine bleach per
gallon of water and allowed to air
dry.
"Until a process is identified
that will guarantee a safe jerky
product, we do not advise
making jerky products of any
kind at home," says Michael.

The Blue Mountain Community
College Admission and Advising
Office staff is requesting aid
from area residents who would
be interested in housing students
for the upcoming academic year.
Each summer the office
compiles a list of apartments,
houses or rooms available for
rent. The list is used as a
resource for new and returning
students. It includes type of
housing, size, rent, furnishings,
location, and the owner's phone
number.
Owners are also
encouraged
to
specify
restrictions, such as no drinking,
no smoking, or no pets.

Justice C o u rt
Report
The Justice Court office at the
courthouse annex building in
Heppner reports handling the fol­
lowing business during the past
week:
Philip John B lakeley, 19,
Redmond-Violation of the Basic
Rule, 72 mph in a 55 mph zone,

Our Mam Street Project
continues to make progress.
During the weekly Mam Street
meeting Monday at 11 a.m. at
Yaw's, both ODOT and Weaver
Construction expressed their
appreciation
for
the
communication and cooperation
from the Heppner businesses,
Dave Winters and local residents.
As with all Mam Street projects,
there are unexpected problems
that arise but keeping the
finished vision in mind will get
us through the rough spots.
Remember, our stores are doing
business as usual and hope to
continue to see your friendly
faces. It's good walking weather
and one never knows what
adventure you may experience
on a new route.
Sidewalks are looking good, but
there are a few skateboard and
human tracks. Try to heed the
warnings signs and look before
you leap, as we want this Main
Street project to look great for
many
years
to
come*
Community pride speaks for
itself.
This Friday approximately 35
Oregon Trail cyclists will arrive
to spend the night at the Morrow
County Fairgrounds.
These
people are following the trail
from Nebraska, so they will be
tired when they come off the hill
and undoubtedly have great
respect for the Pioneers who
walked. Heppner Hospitality will
be awaiting their arrival.
Programs ahead for the
Chamber are: July 22, state and
local transportation issues with
Tom Schuft, Region 5 manager;
and July 29, State Representative
Lynn Lundquist. Also provided
every Tuesday at noon at Kate's,
are Main Street moments. Come
visit and leam what your
Chamber of Commerce is about.
New and current members will
have the opportunity to win a
four day vacation. Stay tuned.
Thought for the week: "Our
conduct is influenced not by our
experience
but
by
our
expectations
