INDEPENDENCE DAY

Union Co. features full day of funLISA MCMAHAN

The Observer

From pancakes to a parade topyrotechnics, Union County willfeature Fourth of July festivitiesbeginning at 7 a.m. and endingwith the fireworks show grandfinale.

The result? A day full of funhosted by the community, for thecommunity.

Starting off the day with asyrupy bang, the Kiwanis Club ofLa Grande will serve up a pancakebreakfast from 7 to 11 a.m. at theRiveria Activity Center gym.Flapjack fanatics can enjoy scram-bled eggs, ham, juice, coffee and,of course, pancakes.

The breakfast costs $5 foradults and $3 for children youngerthan 12. All proceeds from thebreakfast are used to fund localcommunity service projects.

At noon, Imbler will roll out itsannual parade down Main Streetfrom Sixth Street to First Street.Line up is at 11:30 a.m. at ImblerHigh School.

This year’s parade will honortwo of the women who were instru-mental in organizing the ImblerFourth of July tradition in 1976:Louanne Bingaman and ValRoyes, who will serve as grand mar-shals of the parade.

The fireworks show in La Grande begins at dusk, butthere will be plenty of activities atCommunity Stadium beginning at7 p.m., including live music provid-ed by local band StandardDeviation, food, and activities espe-cially for young Fourth of July revelers.

“We’ll have fire truck rides pro-vided by the La Grande FireDepartment and then there will begames for kids,” said La GrandeFire Chief Bruce Weimer, chairper-son of the Union CountyFireworks Action Committee.

The committee also organizedface painting and the Island CityLions Club is bringing out its pigtrain for rides.

“Of course everything atCommunity Stadium is free, withthe exception of food,” Weimersaid.

For those who wish to top off aday of barbecued food with moreIndependence Day cuisine,

options abound. “We have a group from Cove

this year selling pulled pork sand-wiches so we’ll have that goingon,” Weimer said. “We’ll have ham-burgers and things like that aswell.”

The vendors will stay late intothe fireworks show, which Weimerpredicts will wow spectators.

“We’ll have a few more fire-works this year than we did lastyear up in the air,” he said. “It’s alittle bigger show.”

The added flair — and flares —at this year’s show is due to a community-wide effort.

“Because it’s a broader fundrais-ing effort this year and we have thehelp that we’re receiving, we’reprojecting that our fundraising willbe able to support a larger show,”Weimer said. “It won’t be longernecessarily, there will just be morestuff up in the sky.”

Several community groups,including the La Grande Middle School Philly Group, theLa Grande and Island City Lionsclubs and Imbler volleyball teamare selling raffle tickets for prizepackages featuring donated giftcertificates and products fromlocal businesses.

“All our ticket-selling partnersget 50 percent of the proceedsfrom what they do,” CommitteeTreasurer Steve Combs said.

Raffle tickets will be sold at thefireworks show and through nextweek, with grand prize winnersdrawn and announced on theradio during Crazy Days.

“We need people to buy raffletickets and we greatly appreciatedonations in any amount,” Weimersaid.

The committee needs to raise$10,000 for the show and counted$7,000 at its last meeting Tuesday.

“We’re on our way but we’vestill got a ways to go,” Combs said.

Planners are excited about thefestivities.

“It should be great, we’reexpecting really good weather,”Weimer said. “You can spend yourwhole day doing fun things.”

Prevention and Treatment of MigraineMigraines are often caused by hormone imbalance or triggered by foods or additives such asMSG (monosodium glutamate, commonly found in flavor sauces and soy products) or artificialsweeteners such as aspartame. It can help to keep a food diary and try an elimination diet ifyou see a pattern of migraine occurrence after eating certain foods. When migraines do occur,the most appropriate drug for you depends on the unique characteristics of your migraineattack, as well as your preference for dosage form, etc. The optimal medication produces arapid, sustained pain-free response with minimal adverse effects. Suspensions or supposito-ries can be used to treat migraines when an oral tablet or nasal spray is not suitable for a par-ticular patient. A combination of isometheptene mucate, dichloralphenazone, and acetamino-phen (most commonly known as Midrin®) has been used for decades to treat migraine. Thiscombination may have a slight advantage compared with the drug sumatriptan succinate in theearly treatment of mild-to-moderate migraine. Recently, Midrin® and other commercial prepa-rations containing the same active ingredients have been discontinued. We can compound asimilar preparation.

Treatment for Polycystic Ovary SyndromePolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is estimated to occur in up to 12% of youngwomen. PCOS is characterized by lack of ovulation and/or high testosterone lev-els (“hyperanddrogenism”), which can result in irregular menstrual periods, infer-tility, obesity, acne, and growth of facial hair. Insulin resistance is present in manywomen with PCOS and worsens hyperandrogenism by reducing the synthesis ofsex hormone binding globulin in the liver, resulting in an increased level of freetestosterone in thee blood. Therefore, insulin sensitizing agents are often con-sidered the mainstay of therapy. Although the drug metformin has been the mostextensively studied and prescribed, newer drugs such as pioglitazone may be aseffective and better tolerated. In women who are planning on becoming preg-nant, it is important to note that metformin has been found to be safe for use inpregnant women while pioglitazone has not been studied in pregnant women.Beneficial effects on menstrual cycle regularly, ovulation, and fertility are alsoachieved with hormone balance and lifestyle modifications.
