Horse Liniment
Eases Arthritis
Pain
OCALA, FL — An Ingredient de
rived from hot peppers that decreas
es inflammation in racehorse's legs,
is now recognized as safe and effec
tive for human use. 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. According to a spokesper
son for the company, due to the over
whelming demand tor ARTH-Rx, sup
plies are sometimes limited. ARTH-
Rx can also be ordered by calling 1-

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.

Raft trip, T-shirt sale raise funds
for Booster Club
At the August 5 Cardinal
Booster Club, members LynnDee
Ramos and Cindy Burright were
thanked for selling tickets for a
Deschutes raft trip which raised
over $1,800 for the club. Shilo
Svetich was acknowledged for
the success of the club’s Fourth
of July T-shirt project.
Members are waiting for the
beginning of the school year to see
if the student body is willing to pay
for a new trophy case for the
cafeteria hallway. Del LaRue will
get a price estimate from Harold
Rietmann and check on moving
the water fountain.
The group decided that
membership letters need to be sent
out to m ore businesses and
individuals in the community. The
m em bership package for
businesses is $100, which includes
ads on the community calendars
and sports posters, names in all
district programs, and in district
and state ads in the newspaper.
The $50 family package includes
booster club membership and
nam es on the sports poster,
district programs and all district
and state ads.
It was agreed to change the
OSAA Gold Cup sign to
“Oregonian Cup” to match the
new sponsor. The gym still isn’t
accessible to get the academic
signs redone.
Members agreed that without
a large grant or donation, finishing
the track area will be impossible.
The first phase is complete and
the track area is usable. Kate
(McElligott) Garman has donated
a homemade quilt to raffle to raise
funds for the track project.
The club voted to increase the
price of the community calendars
to $8 each. It was noted that
publishing costs have alm ost
doubled over the past few years.
Ads will continue to cost $30 for
businesses, or they may be
purchased as part o f the
membership package.
Sunflower Junction now has
Cardinal hats and football wraps
available for sale through the
booster club. The warm
waterproof wraps cost $48.
The next meeting of Cardinal
Booster Club will be Monday,
Sept. 2 at 7 p.m. at the lone High
School library.
