High Blood Pressure
Medicines in Children
Essential hypertension (high
blood pressure) in adults is thought
to have its beginnings during the
childhood years. The major cause
of high blood pressure in children
is from existing health problems
such as kidney disease. In adults
the major cause often is not known
nor is it related to a specific dis
ease.
According to a recent issue of
PatientCare, decongestants are one
group of medicines that can raise
blood pressure to abnormally high
levels, particularly during early
childhood. If you are a parent,
discuss the medicines your child is
using with your physician and
pharmacist. Among teens and
preteens alcohol and tobacco use
can cause high blood pressure to
develop at an earlier age than it
might occur otherwise. Other fac
tors that may contribute to the de
velopment of high blood pressure
in children include a history of the
condition in one or more family
members, obesity, and a diet that is
high in sodium (salt) and fat.
Hypertension in a child is usu
ally more difficult to treat that it is
in an adult, and the dosing of medi
cines for children is different than
for adults. Nondrug approaches
include an exercise program, a salt
restricted diet, and weight reduc
tion. First-choice medicines for the
control of chronic high blood pres
sure in children includes the di
uretics (water pills) and beta
blocker medicines.

Heppner High School hosted a
pair of actors from the Oregon
Shakespear
Festival
on
November 16. The actors Mark
Booher and Jonathan Toppo, will
perform
excerpts
from
Shakespeare and modern
literature in assemblies and in
dividual classes.
The school visit program is part
of the festival’s commitment to
bringing theatre to young people
and young people to theatre, said
a festival news release. Each year
after the festival closes its season,
teams of actors visit more than
280 schools and organizations,
reaching more than 178,000
students in seven western states
including Alaska.
For many students, these per
formances are their first ex
perience with live theatre. One
student wrote, “ I used to be
bored by Shakespeare and by
plays in general. You have given
me not only an appreciation of
drama, but inspiration as well.”
The tour is funded through a
grant from Mervyn’s Department
stores. The grant recognizes the
geographic impact of the school
visit program, since the tour is
made available to virtually every
community where Mervyn’s
operates.
For more information about the
visit contact Linda Dutcher at
Heppner High School.

‘h e W aU
The good news is the rains received lately to recharge underground
springs and green up the fall countryside. Also the general election
is over thank heavens. Now politicians can plan on the best way to
break campaign promises while doing their part in escalating the na
tional debt.
The cloudy conditions in November don’t come solely from fog.
Property taxes came due before counting our blessings as we pass
the turkey. There’s little relief for small businesses, ranchers and
farmers who are trying to hang in there.
But budget time is just around the comer after trying to stretch
those Christmas spending dollars. Now that city governments have
reduced tax dollars to spend perhaps some voters would agree that
the county could do likewise.
In this agricultural dependent area, there aren’t many business
owners that receive a cost-of-living margin increase along with a paid
health benefit plan. A cap on county employee wages, the largest
part of the budget might set well with taxpayers who are just getting
by while still supporting those wages.
It’s time people reacted to a threat not only to their pocketbook.
but to the economy and the area’s way of life. With the projected
appointments of ardent environmentalists to national cabinet posts,
it’s highly unlikely that the Northwest will benefit from changes in
the endangered species act that is heavily weighted against the human
factor and the economy.
So “ hats o f f ’ to a converted east Oregonian, city manager Gary
Marks. After only a short time away from big city life, he cast
aside his business suit and sported a western shirt at a recent chamber
meeting.
In his remarks to chamber he said that eastern Oregon’s way of
life is being threatened by the “ mind set” in Salem and others who
hold different values. He said there is “ tyranny of the majority” due
to an imbalance of representation for the largest land mass in the state.
He suggested that the 18 counties east of the Cascade range should
endorse an advisory issue on the ballot that reads “ should the senate
be based on a representative from each county?” To do so would
require a state constitutional amendment, but why aren’t the coun
ties represented in state government the same as the states that are
represented in Congress, he questioned.
Marks cited that the state Department of Environmental Quality
is holding Oregon cities to higher standards than demanded by Con
gress under the Clean Water Act. And LCDC should be implemented
through local land use laws that best serve local needs, the present
state rules don’t always apply to different areas and lead to a loss
of self-determination, he said. And water issues are being decided
by people on boards that lack knowledge of the eastern area.
People here are at a crossroads for acting now to preserve a way
of life. Marks said. And this young man is right on target. It’s time
that these counties and the communities that they support hop on the
sagebrush train. They may become as extinct as the ‘Wampus’ bird,
the one that sat on the fence with his ‘wamp’ on one side and his
‘puss’ on the other.
And P.S.—I’d like to see our county tax dollars at work on pain
ting a yellow line over the bumps in the Sandhollow road so people
like me can find the way home in the fog after dark.

Valby Lutheran churches will
