1 i . i l FOUR The Heppner Gazette-Times, Mustangs County in By GLENN SMITH Tuesday, April 27 was the date for a titanic struggle between the Heppner Mus tangs and the Sherman Co. Huskies. The battle ended with Sherman Co. taking home a victory over Heppner with a score of 12-15. Dale Holland, Heppner baseball coach commented that the team, "hit very well. We just couldn't keep their Mustangs defeated by Wasco Co. Redsides, 1-7 By GLENN SMITH On Tuesday, May 4 the Hep pner Mustangs went to Wasco Co. to square off with the Redsides. The game ended in defeat for Heppner, 1-7. Dale Holland, coach for the Mustang baseball team, re fleeted that, "It was a much better ball game than the score indicates." He added, "We were ahead for the first Your Mental Health Aging and mental health (Editors note: The following article is the second in a series of four, to be published in the Gazette-Times, consecutively, throughout the month of May.) By Terrel Templeman, Ph.D. Besides being Mental Health Month, May was re cently designated by Presi dent Reagan to recognize the elderly in our country. The coincidence of both designa tions for the same month I believe is important because mental health problems of the elderly have been a rather neglected area in the mental health field. Life does not necessarily get easier as we get older. It is estimated that 5.8 million Americans over age 65 have significant mental health problems. Depression, con fusion, anxiety, suspicious ness and even drug abuse are unfortunately just as common among senior citizens as they are among other age groups. If fact, depression and suicide risk may be more common among the elderly, especially men over aged 75. There are many reasons for depression in our later years. Losses are more likely the older we get, and the loss of a loved one-especially a hus band or wife - is perhaps the most stressful event in any one's life. Thoughts of one's own mortality and death are also more prevalent as 'we grow older. Adjustments in Cannons winners of lone Yard of Month Award The lone.

Ffeppner was leading going into the top of the sixth, but there Sherman tied them and in the seventh inning, the Huskies took three more runs to win the game.

It seemed that again, pitch ing plagued the Mustangs al though Coach Holland compli mented John Murray on his pitching, stating he "pitched very well for the first five innings." Mark Way led the Mustang hitters with a double and a triple. Statistics of the game were: declining health can be dif ficult, especially for a former ly active person. Older citi zens often live on fixed incomes, which restricts the variety and number of things that they can do with their lives. Physical limitations are also more pronounced, includ ing failing eyesight and hear ing impairments, which make it more difficult to get around or even communicate with others. Older persons are frequently more sensitive to the side effects of medications than are younger persons. Ironically they may also rely more upon medications to maintain declining health than they did at a younger age. Although the elderly exper ience a variety of mental health problems, these prob lems are treatable and in many cases preventable. Too often the depression, with drawing from others, sus piciousness, or confusion that the elderly experience are discounted by the rest of us as senility or as natural symp toms of old age. Actually, people with quite serious symptoms may improve if only some attention is paid to them. For example, con fusional states may respond to changes in diets or medica tions. A medical exam by a physician may be the most helpful in this regard. Consult ing an eye doctor or a hearing specialist may not only im prove eyesight and hearing. lilies, also known as skunk lilies because of their odnr.

Exercis ing and participating in rec reational activities, getting out to visit or shop may help the older person to feel motivated about life again. Talking over problems, such as losses or fears, with a friend, a pastor, physician or mental health professionals can be of great benefit to those with personal problems. Main taining a daily routine which gets the person out of bed, away from the television will help both physical and menial functioning. Finally, recent studies suggest that caring for pets or plants can be thera peutic for an elderly person, especially one who no longer has dependents to take care of. There are of course many elderly people who are both mentally and physically healthy. Old age need not be the source of dread that it once was. I believe the key to continued mental health in older years is to be aware of our changing health needs to see that they are being met. YOU CM DEEP!
