Safety Announcement: FDA warns about severe worsening of multiple sclerosis after stopping the medicine Gilenya (fingolimod)
[11-20-2018] The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning that when the multiple sclerosis (MS) medicine Gilenya (fingolimod) is stopped, the disease can become much worse than before the medicine was started or while it was being taken. This MS worsening is rare but can result in permanent disability. As a result, we have added a new warning about this risk to the prescribing information of the Gilenya drug label and patient Medication Guide.
Full safety announcement here.

2. Photo of a dish created from that harvest
3. Recipe for that dish
Send us your photos highlighting how you use hunting to provide food for yourself and your family, along with a short paragraph describing your photos. Please include the recipe for your dish in the paragraph description.
Send your high-quality, high-resolution photos to photocontest@dfw.wa.gov.

Republic Police WA Chief Culp shared on Monday, November 19:
An interview after my public comments (at a packed Town Hall Meeting).
Video clip: https://www.facebook.com/tncsg/videos/545583349187150/
As he explained November 7 (day after election day):
I’ve talked with quite a few concerned citizens today so let me clear something up.
I’ve taken 3 public oaths, one in the US Army and Two as a police officer. All of them included upholding and defending the Constitution of the United States of America.
The second amendment says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
As long as I am Chief of Police, no Republic Police Officer will infringe on a citizen's right to keep and Bear Arms, PERIOD! - Chief Culp
Lewis County Sheriff’s Office stated:
We have received a lot of inquiries after the passing of I-1639. Sheriff Snaza and his office are supporters of the US Constitution, to include the second amendment. The Lewis County Sheriff's Office supports responsible firearms ownership. We as an office have put on free public firearms safety training, as well as provided public talks on the use of force and firearms ownership. We are aware there have been legal challenges to I-1639 and will wait for the courts to rule on their constitutionality. As with previous firearm initiatives, such as I-594, we will address potential criminal violations as they arise through the course of an investigation, but will not actively seek out violations.

Just in time for that special Thanksgiving dinner. A new batch of cranberries. These are from my friend who owns the only cranberry farm in the Grayland area that is not under the control of Ocean Spray. I have a limited supply so don't wait too long. I am bagging them in 1 pound and 3 pound bags. They are $2.00 and $6.00. Kept refrigerated these should last until about early January.
