Decorated cemeteries and parades honored both the living and dead who fought for our country. The long weekend also provided some R and R time. In my case it meant ride, rough it and research with the Over the Hill gang. About 10 steadfast riders ranging in age from a hardy 17 month old bounc ing boy to a galloping grandmother, without better sense, explored the lush forest near Spring Creek. Abundant deer, elk, wildflowers and a park-like forest provided the ideal setting. A curious coyote pup kept watch near its den to observe the intrusion of four-footed forest stalkers. With the freeway and a train whistling in the distance on one side and the rushing water of the Grande Ronde River for a distant per- miter in the opposite direction, no one could get permanently lost. It’s just that our campsite sometimes seemed displaced. Roll ing forested slopes and meadows began to all look alike. But we knew we were getting close to camp when we located our hanging tree landmark, which was used as a threat to our fearless leaders. Sometimes it seemed as though camp moved of its own accord, but a friend and I knew it wasn’t that easy. We weren’t in the same league with others who had campers or a motorhome. Ferrules became as elusive as ferrets while trying to set up a tent. Like a spaceship, our domed bubble appeared ready for take off at times. The outside atmosphere didn’t become as blustery as from “ night time inhaling’ ’ (women don’t snore) and explusions resulting from steak dinner over-indulgences. One threesome in our riding group became known as Lewis, Clark and Sacajawea. Dressed in rain gear, two “ heap big” brave scouts went looking for those three riders who had left camp without their coats. We did find their horse tracks but became thoroughly confus ed when their circling horse tracks did a complete about-face. Three hours later those soggy, wet souls limped into camp after reversing on a road that had led them almost to the freeway. Trail riding rules suggest that accurate maps of an area can be useful. It’s impossible to make sense of how the Forest Service numbers faint roads. It was also weird to see so many bird houses nailed on trees. Like the natives I guess that birds too must adapt to the white man’s idea of living standards. Had we known this was the norm we could have carried bird seed or bread crumbs which could have also been used to lead us back to camp. Brush poppers are supposed to ride well-mannered horses in good physical condition. But what’s a trail ride without a few enlivening rodeo performances. How better to school a horse or test its athletic ability when it uncorks on rocky, steep ground. Riding skill also im proves rapidly when one looks at such bone-crushing landing sites. Then there are the night-time equine ground stampers and neighbors. They found their tie lines being moved farther into.the wood away from campers trying to catch a few winks. It always amazes me how much energy a morse has left after a long day of packing a rider and all the gear. Will I do it over again? Definitely. But it does make one appreciate a hot bath, running water and the conveniences of home. Stroke: Ticlopidine Better Than Aspirin?

P harm acy & Your H e a lth Boardman Pharmacy & Hardware A stroke rs the result of inad equate blood flow to the brain. Major causes of a stroke include partial or complete blockage of blood vessels in the brain or a burst and leaking blood vessel. A stroke can leave its victim with permanent or temporary memory loss and difficulty speaking, dif ficulty walking, blurred vision, and dizziness. Treatment of stroke begins with immediate hospitalization and a stabilizing of the blood pressure. Medications may be ad ministered to control seizures and reduce swelling in the brain. Blood thinner medicines may be given to limit the progress of the stroke or to prevent the occur rence of new strokes. Stroke prevention involves controlling high blood pressure and other risk factors such as smoking and high blood choles terol. Oral medicines used to pre vent strokes include aspirin and ticlopidine (Ticlid). Studies have shown that ticlopidine is slightly more effective in preventing stroke than is aspirin. However, the American Heart Association still recommends aspirin for stroke prevention - primarily be cause it costs considerably less ($10 to $20 per year versus $ 1,000 for ticlopidine). Other ad- vantages of aspirin over ticlopidine is that aspirin is given only once a day and periodic blood tests are not required.
