Drug-related fe ver can be very expensive, adding to the total cost of care by increas ing the length of hospital stays and resulting in the use of additional laboratory tests, x-rays, and medi cations. Phone 503 989-8221 Toll Free 1-800-452-7396 According to a recent article in American Pharmacy, there are five types of reactions to medicines that can result in fever: W asco P arts O utlet 1. Hypersensitivity reactions oc cur when an antigen-antibody com plex forms in the body. Prescrip tion drugs that may cause such reactions and fever include quini- dine, methyldopa, and phenytoin. Mon-Friday Sat. 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. 7 a.m.-5 p.m. 2. Idiosyncratic reactions de velop from inherited genetic de fects. An example is fever caused by a reaction to sulfonamide.

Administration-related fever can occur when impurities (which occur in some antibiotics and can cer medicines) are injected. 4. Pharmacologic fever occurs when antibiotics such as penicillin kill organisms which, in turn, re lease fever-producing toxins. 5. An increased metabolic rate such as from the use of thyroid medicines may increase the body temperature. Wagon train celebrates old west For the 12th year, the longest running wagon train in the United States will offer participants a chance to experience the old W est. S p o n so red by the Pendleton Round-Up and Happy Canyon, the trip is slightly more luxurious than that of the travelers on the Oregon Trail 150 years ago. Scott Sager, coordinator of the four-day ride, promises par ticipants the experience o f a lifetime. The wagon train, which begins June 27, includes eight to 12 wagons and about 100 people on horseback. The group travels ap proximately 60 miles, beginning at Penland Lake near Ukiah and finishing at Wineland Lake near Heppner. “ The route changes every year.” says Sager, “ but the scenery is always breathtaking.” The idea for the wagon train was conceived in 1982 by volunteers involved with the Pendleton Round-Up and Happy Canyon. During the first few years, 80 percent o f the par ticipants were local residents. Now, according to Sager, that number has reversed itself with 80 percent of the participants coming from the 1-5 corridor. Most of the riders have been on the trip before and come back year after year. The trip is open to anyone, but participants are required to bring their own horse. And while city folk are welcome, Sager stresses that this is not an activity for “ ci ty slickers” . “ It’s not a ride for beginners,” he says. “ Par- Ryan Currin gains status Student records at Mt.

Currin is a business administration major. ticipants need to have experience with horses and riding.” The trip includes certain lux uries that early settlers didn’t have. Wagon train participants enjoy three square meals a day, catered by Kessler Catering of M ilton-Freewater. The menu in cludes prime rib, barbecued chicken and pork chops, and fresh salmon. Each evening, the group gathers at the campfire for live entertainment and sing-a-longs. Guests are encouraged to join in. Many bring their own musical in struments, banjos, fiddles, guitars and harmonicas. Unlike the early settlers on the Oregon Trail, this group gets a hot shower every evening, thanks to a shower truck that sets up at the campsite. Except for the shower and catering truck, rub ber tires aren’t allowed. All the w agons have steel rim m ed wheels. The native American tribes of the area have long been involved with the wagon train. Several of the wagon trains have traveled through the Umatilla Indian reservation. Sager recalls a year when the wagon train visited the reservation the day the tribal chief died. Because Indian custom re quires the tribe to grieve for a year, the wagon train visited the tribe again a year and a day later. On that day, the group joined the tribe in a traditional Indian peace ceremony followed by a celebra tion and salmon feed. “ W e’ve experienced every thing except childbirth on these trips,” says Sager. “ W e’ve even had a wedding for a couple who met the previous year on the wagon train.” Sager says this year’s trip is almost full, but anyone intersted in learning more about the wagon train may call the Pendleton R ound-U p office 1-800-45- RODEO for more information.
