The ingredient has been formulated into a product called ARTH-Rx™and comes In a strength designed for humans. Researchers are excited and say the formula can relieve arthritis pain for millions. Developed by the Phillips Gulf Corporation. ARTH-Rx is a break through in the treatment of painful disorders ranging from minor aches and pains to more serious conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, rheuma tism, tendonitis, backache and more. Although the mechanism by which ARTH-Rx works to relieve pain is not totally clear, scientists suggest that pain is relieved because ARTH-Rx intercepts the messenger substance that sends pain signals to the brain. ARTH-Rx is available in a conve nient roH-on applicator without a pre scription.

Main S t.-676-9158 We Print Business Cards Heppner G azette-T im es The Port of Morrow has decided to close down the co generation electric plant at the industrial park near Heppner. The plant has had numerous mechanical difficulties and has never operated at peak power for sustained periods of time. The port has spent about $8.5 million in an effort to get the plant up and running. The plant employed about 16 people. In addition to the large start up costs the electricity market nose-dived, making the generated power an expensive market alternative. The co-gen plant was originally a joint project between the port and Frontier Energy, LLC, which was to supply wood waste and chips to fire the generating plant. Frontier pulled out of the project because the project cost too much and took too long to bring on line. The projected start up time for the plant had originally been April 18,2001. Heppner Branch.
