Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, August 3, 2016 Page A-9 Winding Trails: by Al Hobart Thursday, Aug. 4, 1966 Illinois Valley News Young’s Valley Young’s Valley nestles right in the very Heart of the “Illinois Alps,” the prettiest cluster of peaks in the entire Siskiyous. Among the prominent mountains of the group that attracts the intense admiration of all who pass through Illinois Valley from the north, are Haystack Mount, Sanger Peak, Young’s Peak, El Capitan, Copper Peak and presiding majestically over the whole group, Preston Peak, highest mountain in our part of the Siskiyous and 4th highest in the whole Siskiyou range, reaching to a height of 7,310 feet above sea level, and bearing perpetual snow. Young’s Valley is a pretty spot in its own right, with lovely camping sites, good pure water, abundant fuel – and typical wildflowers blooming throughout the spring and summer months; but the principal feature that makes this high little valley a priceless retreat for all who admire nature at its awesome best is the panorama of great peaks that entirely surround it. I have paid probably 50 visits to Young’s Valley in the 36 years I have lived in the shadow of its surrounding peaks, botanizing the country all- around, camping for days at a time in the valley, where I always make my base camp. No other spot in our mountains has so great an attraction for me. For a good many years I have been able to drive right into the valley, but last summer, after the big storms of the preceding winter, I had to walk-in from Sanger Lake, a distance of 5 or 6 miles, the road being a complete wreck. During the fourth of July holiday I decided to go up and see whether or how near I could drive to Young’s Valley, having made no inquiries about the road. We packed a picnic lunch, my botanically inquisitive friend and I, and took off up Bearcamp Ridge in the jeep. We intended to get into Bear Meadow, only a couple of miles from Young’s Valley, even if we had to walk a few miles. Some very special wild plants grow in Bear Meadow, such as the dwarf Peck’s Phacelia and the miniature dogwood, Bunch berry. To my great and pleasant surprise we found the road open clear into Young’s Valley and beyond as far as Bell Echo campground, and in the best condition I have ever seen it. Others had made the discovery before we did – half a dozen camps were set up in there, holiday explorers out enjoying some of our very best mountain scenery. In Bear Meadows we found and photographed a pure white Alpine Shooting-star, the first and only one I’ve ever seen. We also found that a huge bear that must have been as big as an Alaskan brownie has lived in there. On the verge of starvation by the time we reached Young’s Valley, we ate our scrumptious picnic lunch there. Then we drove on to see how far the newly improved road went. It ended in Bell Echo. A Crescent City physician was camped here whom I’d met farther up on the Raspberry trail five years ago. After powwowing for a few minutes, each wondering,“Where have I seen this bloke before?” We both finally recalled the first meeting. We spent 2 or 3 pleasant hours in Young’s Valley and hiked down the Clear Creek trail to prowl a couple of small grassy meadows a short distance below the valley, poking and prying into the private lives of the wildflowers to see if we could discover any startling new facts hidden there. Finally the time came to head home. I caught my companion setting her watch back a couple of hours, but the honest old sun said it was time to go, and we reluctantly departed the little mountain valley. Our fourth of July celebration, we both agreed, had been a pleasant one. And Frieda allowed it would have been a safe and sane one if she’d been doing the driving.

It is hereditary and tends to run in families. In people with a close family member who has celiac disease the chances of getting it are 1 in 22. Other risk factors include chronic diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, type 1 diabetes, autoim- mune thyroid disease, premature bone disease or infertility. Stress can be an important contributor. Diagnosis is based on symptoms, lab tests and endoscopy - a procedure in which the physician views the small intestine and takes a small tissue sample (biopsy). Celiac disease can be difficult to diagnose because it affects people differently. Some people have no symptoms at all, but are still at risk for long-term complications. Adults are less likely to have digestive symptoms and are more likely to have things like unexplained iron-deficiency anemia, bone or joint pain, depression or anxiety, tingling in the hands and feet, seizures, migraines, or canker sores inside the mouth. Currently, the only treatment for celiac disease is lifelong adherence to a strict gluten-free diet. Eating even a small amount if gluten can cause problems. Once gluten is com- pletely removed from the diet, inflammation generally begins MONDAY – AUG 8 BEEf CHILI W/ BEANS T i.V.

Besides completely avoiding wheat, barley, rye, and oats, one must read labels carefully because gluten can turn up where you don’t expect it: in cold cuts, soups, candies, and even soy sauce. Be aware of ingredients such as starch, modified food starch, hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP), hydrolyzed plant protein (HPP), texturized vegetable protein (TVP), binders, fillers, excipients, extend- ers, malt, and natural flavorings, all of which may indicate the presence of gluten. Complete healing may take several months to several years. Following a gluten-free diet also helps pre- vent future complications. Some people experience no signs or symptoms after eating gluten, but this doesn’t mean it’s not harmful. Remember, even trace amounts of gluten in your diet can be damaging, whether or not they cause signs or symp- toms. Some people with severe damage to their intestines may require IV nutrition supplementation. Others may require steroids to control inflammation. We hear and read so much about opioid abuse and addic- tion About the same number of Americans who abuse or are dependent on opioid drugs suffer from celiac disease. This topic will be continued.
