Four complete teams made the trip with some of the teams play ing in Glasgow, Scotland and the others in Manchester, England. The competiton came in the form of American football clubs, com prised of mainly adults. Baker learned of the possibili ty of this trip at the conclusion of football season last fall. He knew immediately that he wanted to go, but the trip required a substantial investment on his part. So with a lot of help from his family and by working as much as he could, he earned enough money for the trip. The main gist of the trip, of course, was football. Baker’s team played two games in Man chester, defeating Chester 14-0 and tying St. Helens, 6-6. But the trip included activities off the field like sightseeing. Baker reports that the group went on several tours where they saw m assive castles and some beautiful countryside. “ It was ribbing; gathering; flatlocking and rolled edges. Participants can finish the day by constructing a seven minute knit shirt if they desire. A supplies list and location will be sent to all enrollees two weeks before the workshop so they have time to purchase materials. Basic example materials will be fur nished and there is no charge for the workshop. The class will be taught by Elva Maddem, Wheeler County Ex tension agent.

There are several reasons for an increased risk for adverse drug effects among older persons. Increased risk may be related to a larger number of medicines used, an increase in the numberof chronic health problems, and a general re duction in body organ function. For example, a reduction in kidney function with aging is not uncom mon. Since most drugs are elimi nated through the kidneys, the net result is more active drug retained by the body, leading to more side effects. There are many things that can be done to help minimize drug- related problems. The older person taking medicine can: • ask family members and/or friends to read labels that are too small to be seen easily, • tell his or her physician and phar macist about all the medicines be ing taken (to help determine poten tial side effects and drug interac tions). • keep a list of past and current health problems and phone num bers of health care providers, and • learn how to avoid drug-related problems that have occurred in the past.
