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

On Tuesday, May 4 the Hep

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,

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

Ffeppner was leading going

there Sherman tied them and
in the seventh inning, the
Huskies took three more runs

It seemed that again, pitch

pitching, stating he "pitched

innings."
Mark Way led the Mustang
hitters with a double and a

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.

but make it easier for the
elderly person to converse and
socialize with others. 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.

By GLENN SMITH
A district track meet at
Umatilla on Friday, April 7,
ended with a surprising plac
ing by the Heppner girls' track
team. Out of all the schools
competing, the Heppner girls
won the second place trophy,
missing first place over Wah
tonka by only six points. The
surprise is that Heppner had
only six girls competing com
pared to Wahtonka's sixteen.
Dale Conklin, coach for the
Heppner thinclads comment
ed that he felt, "almost every
one was performing at their
peak. Many of the placings
were personal best of the
entire track season."
Placings for the track meet
were as follows: The girls 400
meter relay team of Mary
Kincaid. Stephi Payne. Janel

berg took first place, (time
:53.1) while the 1.600 meter
relay team of Pam Orr. Janel

and Mary Kincaid took fourth
place, but set a new school
record for that event with a
time of 4:29 7. Second place
finishes for the girls included
Mary Kincaid in the high
jump, leaping 5'1". and Stephi
Payne earning second in the

Pam Orr did very well,

in the shot put and the other in
