Olive Festival The Corning Chamber of Commerce is now prepar- ing for the 25th Annual Ol- ive Festival Aug. 22 and 23. Of course there have been many Olive Festivals before 1989 but the Corning Cham- ber was not the organizer of the event until that year. A 1947 Corning Observer newspaper clipping was found describing the first Corning Olive Festival was planned that year by the Im- maculateConceptionCatho- lic Church. So the festival is actually 67 years ago. Corning has always been proud of its olive heritage and because we have the largest olive processing plant in the United States as well as some great olive oil companies, we have even more reason to celebrate. The Chamber will be pro- ducing a sponsor book for this event so chamber mem- bers will be receiving a let- ter and sponsorship form for those who would like to sponsor or advertise in the book. We hope that you will choose either one of these options. There are differ- ent advertising opportuni- ties that range from $45 to $125. Your support will en- able this event to grow and be successful. Now is a good time to be thinking about your busi- ness forming a bed race team, or creating a float for the parade. You may even want to have a booth at the park where hundreds of people will be visiting. Corning in the Evening Next Thursday, June 12, Round Table Pizza will host the monthly get together at 5:30 p.m. at 680 Edith Ave. You invited for a nice eve- ning of fellowship, network- ing and refreshment. Bring your business card for a chance to win a door prize. Keep in mind that there will be no Corning in the Evening for July. And in August we will have the Ol- ive Festival Mixer, Thurs- day, Aug. 21, that will take the place of Corning in the Evening. CORNING CHAMBER Congratulations to all graduates By Carla K. Johnson TheAssociatedPress CHICAGO A lawsuit filed Monday in Cook County Cir- cuit Court states the city of Chicago has paid nearly $9.5 million for filling opioid pre- scriptions since 2007. It al- leges the pharmaceutical companies' marketing of opioids for long-term use to treat non-cancer pain was false, misleading and "un- supported by science." The suit also claims drug- makers attempted to expand the long-term use of opioids beyond the treatment of can- cer pain to reap bigger prof- its. The damages would be determined at trial if the city were successful in its case. "In order to expand the market for opioids and real- ize blockbuster profits, (the five companies) needed to create a sea-change in medi- calandpublicperceptionthat would permit the use of opi- oids for long periods of time to treat more common aches and pains, like lower back pain, arthritis, and head- aches," the lawsuit states. The companies, the suit al- leges, "set out to, and did, re- verse the popular and medi- calunderstandingofopioids." Washington, D.C.-based law firm Cohen Milstein Sell- ers & Toll, which specializes in consumer complaints, is involved in both the Califor- nia and Chicago cases. Chicago subpoenaed doc- uments from the companies "to determine if we had the basis to sue," city spokes- woman Shannon Breymaier said. The city has worked with Cohen Milstein on other legal matters and the cur- rent case began more than a year ago under Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's di- rection, she said. Janssen spokeswoman RobynFrenzesaidinanemail that the company is "commit- ted to ethical business prac- tices and responsible promo- tion,prescribinganduseofall our medications." Purdue Pharma spokes- man Robert Josephson said the company hasn't received the complaint and has no comment. The other compa- nies named in the complaint didn't immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press. Purdue has since intro- duced a new version of Oxy- Contin aimed at preventing abuse. It's more difficult to crush, break or dissolve.
