These Medicines
Reduce Heart-Attack
Deaths
Beta blocker medicines reduce
the effect of adrenalin on the ner
vous system, blood vessels, and
heart. Reducing adrenalin’s effect
on the heart is useful in managing
conditions such as high blood
pressure, abnormal heart rhythms
(arrhythmias) and angina (chest
pain from narrowing of blood ves
sels in the heart). In addition, re
searchers have discovered in sev
eral studies that beta blocker medi
cines are helpful in preventing
death in persons who have survived
one or more heart attacks. One report
indicates that 10 to 30% of heart
attack victims who receive beta
blockers experience a reduction in
death from future heart attacks.
According to a recent report in
Annals of Internal Medicine, more
than 18,000 heart attack survivors
given beta blocker medicines such
as propranolol, metoprolol, and
timolol have been studied. Medi
cine was started 5 to 21 days after
the attack. Studies vary as to the
length of time beta blockers were
given. The American Hospital
Formulary indicates that up to 39
months of therapy reduced deaths
related to heart disease and arterio
sclerosis. The article in Annals of
Internal Medicine reports that
maximum protection is provided
during the first 12 months of thera
py. Only victims with the greatest
risk of death from another heart
attack benefited beyond 12 months.

a fulltime load of classes, which
translates to 12 graded credit
hours. Students may not have
received an F in any class to be
so honored. A pass grade does
not count toward the 12 graded
hours necessary to be included on
the lists.
Not all students who have at
tained these honors are included
on the honors list distributed to
the public. The names of students
who have signed the Privacy Act
disclaimer will not appear in

A1 Newman, a 30 plus year

at a retirement party Jan. 22.
Reservations should be made
by Friday, Jan. 7 for his party and

Newman is a forest practices
forester with ODF and responsi

retirement at the end of February
will end a career of more than 30
years with the department that
started as a young man when he

Bom in Bums, Newman spent
much of his early life in Seneca
where his father worked for the
Edward R. Hines Lumber Com
pany. He left in 1942 for the west
side of the state where his father
worked for a fire protection
district.
Following his military service,
Newman hired on as a seasonal
firefighter during the summer
months. “ It was the lowest you
could g o ,” he said.
Like so many, he became a
full-time member of the depart
ment after years o f seasonal
work. “ It was sometime back in
the 60’s ,” he said, “ but I can’t
remember the date.”
His first assignment was as a
fire warden on the Markola
D is tric t,
located betw een
Springfield and Sweet Home.
It was a time, Newman recall
ed, when promotioif and career
advancement was a part of mov
ing to where positions and oppor
tunities opened.
In 1968, he interviewed for,
and was awarded a position as a
fire technician at Klamath Falls.
The following year, he interview
ed for a similar position in John
Day and moved back home in
1970.
John Day and Grant County
have been home to A1 and

The figures show what every
parent knows. It costs a lot to
raise a child from birth to age 18.
The figures for 1992, the most
recent available, show that cost
of raising a child in the west
ranges from $ 9 6 ,6 3 0 to
$184,830, depending on family
structure and income, reports
Alice Mills Morrow. OSU Exten
sion family economics specialist.
The cost estimates are prepared
annually by the Agricultural
Research Service. U.S. Depart
m ent o f A g ric u ltu re . The
estimates include categories for
housing, food, transportation,
clothing, health care and other
expenses that include education
and child care.
The estimates also show that
children become more expensive

the 15-17 age bracket than at any
other time.
The largest expenditure is for
housing, which has been true
since USDA first collected data
in the 1940’s Morrow notes.
In addition, some parents are
spending more money on their
children as new products are in
troduced and new standard set.
Children in the 1940’s didn’t have
video g am es,
c o m p u te rs,
telephones and television sets.
A single parent with an income
of less than $32,100 can expect
to spend about $96,630 raising a
child. A two-parent family with
an income o f more than $52,200
is spending about $185.000 in
1992 dollars.
A middle income, two-parent
Western family will spend about
$134,190.
Child raising estimates are
issued each year Morrow said.
This holiday season many will
be celebrating with family and
friends. The Oregon Together
group and the OSU Extension of
fice suggests turning your
“ festivities” into a pleasing par
ty with some non-alcoholic

juice, one thin slice of lemon with
peel, one Vi strip green pepper,
one four inch stalk celery, cut in
one inch pieces, one Vi slice
cucumber with peel, two sprigs
parsley, Vi teaspoon Worchester
sauce, 'A teaspoon salt, five to 10

“ Or if you prefer something

Stan Hoobing, convenor for the
group: one cup o f fruit punch,
one cup pineapple pieces, one
tablespoon lemon juice and one
Vi cups crushed ice. Put all ingre
dients into blender. Cover and
mix at high speed until slushy.
This yields three cups. “ And for

this Creamsicle drink” , continues
Hoobing. One cup orange juice,
one tablespoon almond extract,
one cup vanilla ice cream, one 16
oz. package of strawberries in
syrup, thawed. Put all ingredients
