Letters to the Editor
North Morrow residents
need doctor, clinic
To the Editor:
As a resident of Boardman,
I feel it's time we the people of
the community raised our
voices to the board of the
North Morrow Medical Clinic.
After living here for four
years and , having to travel
between 40 and 100 miles
every time my family needed
a doctor we were overjoyed to
finally get a doctor in our
community.
Nothing is more frustrating
than to have an extremely sick
child and have to travel that
far for medical attention.
Every parent can appreciate
that position.
Now finally we have an
excellent physician and he is
being pushed away by people
who have no more idea what
the community wants than the
man in the moon. No one has
bothered to ask us what we
think.
Our taxes and donations
went to build the clinic and
pay the salary of a doctor who
has done nothing but be an
excellent physician and mem
ber of our growing commun
What's your opinion?

Question of the week: "What do you want for Christmas?"
"Oh, dear, says Santa Claus, ageless. North Pole. "I think
I'd like stability in the Middle East. That's probably the most
important thing this Christmas."

ity. Now he is being pushed out
and we have nothing to say
about it.
To my knowledge there has
been no community meeting
where we the patients have
had a chance to voice our
opinions. I feel we should have
had that chance. I know a lot
of people worked hard, long
hours to raise the money to put
the clinic together and raise
all that money for an x-ray
machine that sat idle for a
year and now we're facing
that possibility again. $16,000
is a lot of money for a
community this size to raise
for the privilege of having our
own doctor. Now these same
people are not having a voice
in the future of our clinic.
I feel Dr. Anderson and his
crew have given us excellent
care and attention in the last
year and don't deserve what
the board is trying to do.
As his patients and the ones
who stand to lose the most, we
should stand up and make our
feelings known.
Thank you,
Mrs. Elizabeth Morris,
Boardman

Your mental health
Thinking, drinking and New Year's Eve
by Terrel I.. Tenipleman, Ph.D.
(Editor's note: This is the eighth in a series of articles
entitled "Your mental health." Readers are Invited to send
comments or questions about these articles to: Dr. Terry
Templeman, Morrow County Mental Health Services, P.O.
Box 554, Heppner, Oregon, 97836.
New Year's Eve is a traditional time of celebration, and for
millions of Americans the celebration would not be complete
without alcohol, Unfortunately many people who drink
moderately the rest of the year spend the last night of the
year on one long alcoholic binge. Alcohol abuse, of course, is
responsible for most of the traffic fatalities and other
accidents that occur on New Year's Eve, not to mention the
hangovers which occur on New Year's Day. Medical
research also suggests that such binge drinking is bad for
your heart even if you drink very little the rest of the year.
There are specific mental ruts that contribute to holiday
binge drinking. The most obvious is the statement, "I
deserve to get drunk at least once a year." To date, I have
never met anyone who could provide any evidence as to why
her or she deserved to get drunk on any day of the year, let
alone the last one. Yet this kind of thinking resounds in some
peoples' minds as if it were carved in stone.
Another mental rut is the idea that special occasions
require alcohol in order to be special. This rather circular

argument is promoted by many advertisers, who proclaim
that no special occasion Is right without n particular beer,
wine, or liquor. I know some drinkers who amend this
thought to read, "The more special the occasion, the more
you're supposed to drink." Hence for some people a rare
occasion like New Year's Eve demands no loss than drinking
themselves under the table. This kind of thinking is not only
nonsensical but also dangerous-especially If you Intend to
drive home from the party.
The alternatives to binge drinking on Now Year's Eve arc
to abstain from alcohol or to drink moderately. Here are
some tips for drinkers who wish to moderate their alcohol
intake this year. First, plan your drinking in advance. Decide
before you go-where you are going, what you will be
drinking, and how much will be your limit. A person weighing
160 pounds or less will have a blood alcohol concentration
making them legally Intoxicated if they drink more than
three drinks In one hour. Therefore It is a good Idea to limit
yourself to less than three drinks per hour to be on the safe
side. Remember also thai one beer, one glass of wine, and
one mixed drink all have roughly the same amount of alcohol
in them, so your drink limit should apply to all of these drinks
equally.
Second, keep track of how many drinks you have had. If
you need to, write down the time of each on a 3 by 5 card. The
only way to stick to your limit is to know how many you have
had already.
Third, make all of your drinking decisions one at a time.
You can say either yes or no to each drink you take. Do not
get into the habit of thinking, "If I drink this one I'll hove to
drink the next one too."
Fourth, wait at least 45 minutes after the last drink before
attempting to drive. If you have gone over your limit during
the evening, arrange for other transportation home or
overnight lodging where you are. Only time will soIht you up,
so don't fool yourself into thinking you are sober by drinking
lots of coffee or doing calisthenics
Finally, remember that although you may want a drink,
you do not need a drink to help you celebrate. Alcohol has
several desirenble effects, such as feeling warm, relaxed,
and sociable, but none of these effects are necessary for
seeing in the New Year.
