Hunting season emphasizes the fact that we're all descended
from hunters and gatherers. In my case, I no longer shoulder a rifle
and take to the hills, as it’s more prudent to be cowardly. I just hunt for
the stuff that I’ve gathered and stored — somewhere! The positive
side of that is I recently rearranged all the dust in one room as the
result of stalking one small item that apparently sought cover elsewhere.
Take a gander at the big-city hunters all decked out in
camouflage clothing, orange hats and expensive boots. Fully equipped
with all the necessary gear, they are ready to pursue game even after
dark. Those poker games and the yam swapping no longer occur
sitting around a campfire in front of a tent anymore. These modem
warriors come fully prepared for survival with enough ammunition for
an all-out war while braving their back-to-nature experience. Pulled
by expensive vehicles, their cozy trailers or campers have more gadgets
and conveniences than many homes and are often powered by
generators.
Unless these outdoors enthusiasts keep an ear tuned to a
portable radio, at least they get reprieve from political advertising that
will continue to bombard us until the election in November.
Even if a candidate is only running for dog catcher, people get
weary of the repetitious focus on a candidate’s stand on gay rights or
abortion issues or attack ads on opposing candidates as is happening
with some of our major political players. One's character shouldn’t be
judged on traffic violations or the reprimanding of one's children. Voters
prefer informative views on how a dog catcher candidate is going to
house, educate or find work for those strays that have lost jobs, not
how many fleas that they host. Telling people about existing problems
of which they are already are totally familiar doesn’t cut it. Forget the
rhetoric and offer creative solutions that might be feasible. Unlike
local candidates that take a civilized approach to campaigning,
elsewhere the campaign propaganda metastasizes and gets ugly.
Although this community has a seasonal influx of hunters,
we’re not overrun by bikers seeking the limelight and defying traffic
laws as has happened in Portland. People here thought up a creative
way, with very little expense, to entertain young bicyclists at Hager
Park. Perhaps a skateboard area can be developed at the site of the
old swimming pool that might create a need for merchants to stock
abundant knee and elbow pads along with helmets — the down or up
side is that it might create more business for the emergency room at
the hospital.
Volunteers in this area don’t sit around waiting for things to
happen to improve the lifestyle of both young and old. In a very short
span of years, accomplishments include the renovation of the old hotel
building into a senior center and apartment building. We also have a
modem swimming pool and now the new Willow Creek Terrace
assisted living facility. Without the volunteer efforts o f many citizens,
these important assets would only be in the "what i f ’ realm.
KAREN’S KORNER
In this column I am going to introduce you to a couple of
groups who have headed off potential harm from producers who
attempted to incorporate nicotine into several dubious products.
The Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT.
www.srnt.org) is composed of over 600 of the leading scientists
researching nicotine and tobacco issues in the U.S. and 33 other
countries. This group has submitted petitions to the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) on a number of products. One of these papers
dealt with RjR’s new Eclipse cigarette (you may recall this name from
a prior column).
Both an independent study and an industry study found that
use of Eclipse increased carbon monoxide levels compared to other
cigarettes. This is im portant as increased (CO) is linked to
cardiovascular disease and smokers are more likely to die of tobacco-
induced cardiovascular diseases than of tobacco-induced cancers. If
that were not enough. Eclipse also exposed smokers to breathing in
fiberglass particles.
Nico Water - water laced with about four milligrams of nicotine
per 16-once bottle - was billed as a “refreshing break to the smoking
habit.” This quantity of nicotine is equal to about two cigarettes or a
stick of nicotine gum. A host of groups including SRNT and the
Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids took issue with this product. One of
the questions raised here was just how Nicotine Water would be used.
If smokers used it as advertised, i.e., to avoid smoking restrictions,
they might simply add nicotine exposure to their ongoing daily
consumption of cigarettes. If that were true, nicotine could actually
increase risk for smokers.
Early in 2000, hundreds of independent druggists across the
U.S. started producing suckers/” lollipops." gummy lozenges, and even
lip balm - selling them in stores and on the Internet. However, the
nicotine salicylate used in these products - but not in nicotine gum or
patches - has not been proved safe or effective as a medicine and is
not approved by the FDA.
What is the point of all this: fortunately the FDA acted to
remove these products. However, I believe it reminds us to be ever
watchful of babies and young children around us. Nicotine is very
toxic, and should one of our little folks take a notion to sample any
form of tobacco, the outcome could be sad.
