Bridger Baker of lone High
School spent his spring vacation
in a most unique way, playing
football in Scotland and England
with a group of 104 football
players from around Oregon.
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.

books,” he reports. The boys
also had some free time to ex
plore the bustling downtown
areas.
Baker played wide receiver in
England but for the Cardinals he
played offensive and defensive
end. Baker capped his four years
of football last season by being
named to the first team All Stars
for both positions.
With a spring break in England

recommend the experience to
anyone. “ I had a great time, it

Medicine Problems in
the Elderly
The elderly are especially vul
nerable to the effects of prescrip
tion and nonprescription medi
cines. 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.
