4 | : Back Mountain players excel —# Le 12 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, February 21, 1990 - SPORTS he By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer A brother and sister, who moved into Dallas a little more than a year ago are quickly making names for themselves in the Dallas District sports pro- gram. ; The son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lisnow, Damon and Tara Lisnow have been ex- celling on the senior high school varsity basketball teams. “We moved to this area from St. Johnsbury, Vermont when I was in eighth grade,” Tara Lis- now said. “I am now in ninth grade, but this year moved up to play on the girls varsity team in what is now the Middle School.” Tara, who is 5' 8" tall and still growing, said she has been play- ing basketball since she was in third grade. This spring she hopes to also play on the ninth grade softball team. ‘Since she has been playing varsity this season, she is not certain what her point total is, but estimates she scores on the average of approximately 10 to 12 points per game. Damon plays forward and last year played on the junior varsity team. This year, the 6'4" junior is on the varsity team and averages approximately 14 points per game. If he continues that pace he could end the year with 250 to 300 points to his credit. “I like basketball and started to play organized basketball when I was about 11 years of age. The competition here is much better than in Vermont,” Damon said. “We became interested in bas- ketball because of our father. He is 6'8" and played in college at Quinnipiac. He also played on a semi-pro team,” Damon and Tara explained. Both are excellent academic students, Damon with a 3.4 av- erage and Tara with a 3.6 aver- age. “I like skiing,” Damon said, “And I am a lifeguard in the summer and I hope to play on the school tennis team this spring.” Taraalso likes skiing but said, “I like cross-country skiing bet- ter than downhill. I also enjoy swimming in the summer. Both Damon and I attend basketball camps in the summer. I like liv- : LJ ing in the Back Mountain, there is more to do than there was in Vermont,” Tara said.

Previously, ulcer patients were advised to restrict Peptic ulcers generally are treated by medications, particularly forms of antihistamines, that stop ulcers but not running noses of colds or allergies. Dietary modifi- cations have been de-emphasized and surgery is used much less frequently. Antacids arc commonly used to neutralize the stom- ach acids. But now, scveral new drugs have become the drugs of choice. One type, sucralfate (Carafatc) accel- crates healing of peptic ulcers. Other types actually reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach; these are Tagamet, Pepcid, Zantac, and Axid. All arc taken at or near bedtime, and some at other times of the day also. Antacids which used to be standard treatment for peptic ulcers are used much less extensively today. Liquid antacid is more effective than the pill form in quickly neutralizing the stomach acid and thereby pro- tecting the delicate membranes of the stomach and duo- decnum. While antacids, such as Mylanta, Maalox and Gelusil, are effective taken in large and frequent doses, they can cause several unpleasant side effects. Diarrhea and constipation are the most common, depending on the brand of antacid you usc. Antacids also reduce the cffectiveness of antibiotics. Smoking aggravates and appears to be a strong factor in ulcer recurrence. In fact, studies show that quitting smoking is justas effective as taking Tagamet or related acid-shutoff drugs. Aspirin and aspirin-containing compounds should be avoided by anyone with ulcers because they irritate the stomach and duodenal linings and may provoke bleed- ing. Itis unclear whether aspirin actually causes gastric - their dicts to bland foods and were encouraged to cat mild foods such as milk and carbohydrates. Strict ulcer dicts arc rarcly used today. Nowadays, most doctors tell . their patients only to avoid foods that will provoke the ulcer, such as heavily spiced foods, alcoholic beverages and coffee. Others find that their ulcers heal regardless of what they cat. Your own dict is somcthing you can discuss with your doctor. Doctors usually prefer to treat an ulcer with medica- tion and dict before recommending surgery. However, in the casc of a perforated ulcer, which extends through the entire thickness of the stomach or the duodenum, surgery is not only recommended, it sometimes is necessary to save a patient's life. A doctor may also suggest surgery when there is persistent bleeding. In addition, when an ulcer repeat- edly resists medication and dict treatments, surgery may be called for. Usually surgery will cure an ulcer, and the patient will be able to cat normally for the remainder of his or her life without fear of the return of the ulcer or other symptoms. Emotional stress has also becn shown to play a rolc in ulcers. Here are some suggestions to help you improve your lifestyle and remove some of the stress and ten- sion: -Exercise regularly, about three times a week. Exercise can make you feel less tense and more relaxed, so you can sleep better and generally feel healthier. -Learn to relax. Set aside some time cach day to do something that you enjoy. -Talk out your worries, Don't keep them bottled up inside. If you arc unable to cope yourself, it may help to see a counsclor or therapist. This health awareness is brought to you as a service to the Back Mountain community by Robert Greenhalgh, M.D..
