' KELVIN SAMPSON ? A
ROLE MODEL
., Last week after losing to Italy, the
' USA basketball team wonover Russia.
'80-71. gaining the Bronze medal \s
head coach George Raveling
explaining in an ABC interview, the
: USA team was made up of college
' students, whereas most of the other
teams were composed of professional
basketball players. Some of the top
college players were not available for
"? 'this trip And the team had only about
three weeks to play together. In spite
of all this, they finished in third place.
^-Congratulations to all the members of
* our USA team and to each of their
^ coaches, including our own Kelvin
Sampson.
J When they played the Dream Team
J on Sunday, alter getting back to the
* states, they were really mismatched
* Mr. Ned reminded me that the Dream
? Team is made up ofthe best players in
? the World, so it's no wonder THEY
* came out with the highest score
* Especially since the collegiate team
must have been pretty wont out from
IPersc^B^f
that so many countries around the
j world have adopted "American
- invented" games such as basketball
- and baseball
As for as 1 know. Kelvin does not
3 have the kind of "excess baggage"
j (alleged problems with gambling and
- : abuse, respectively) that have surfaced
' , to mar the images of two extremely
I popular sports heroes. Michael Jordan
3 and O.J Simpson. Kelvin may not be
j stunning the sports world with unusual
- height, physical strength, or original
* achievements on the playing floor or
\ I
players on a daily basts, be gets MY
VOTE as a Lumbee role model for
young people everywhere!
CORRECTIONS
In last week's story I made two
glaring mistakes Kelvin and family
lived at Pullman. Washington for
NINE years, not five He was the
Cougars' head coach for seven of
those years. Also, his mother. "Miss
Eva", worked for 10 years as a nurse
for Dr Robertson, not 'Or
Robinson ' In the past. I've been
reallv upset with journalists who do
sloppy reporting Now I know how
difficult and time-consuming it is to
check each item out i My Mcmor\ let
me down as far as Dr Robertson s
name was concerned It seems to he
doing that more and more these day s.
But I'm determined NOT to let 11 get
the best of me' Which reminds me. I
am over 30 years younger than Mother,
not over 31 years as I said some time
ago' She is halfway between 97 and
98.1 haven't quite made it to 67. i
POSITIVE REPORTING
For a person who has never taken
much .interest in sports,, l ye spent
o
make surMhey wete Ware that our
own Kelvtt Sampson was involved in
this year's Goodwill Games Why''
For one thing, it looks to me like we
deserve some GOOD publicity, after
all the negative media reports over the
past six years. Also, even though I'm
not a typical sports enthusiast. I AM
interested in the PEOPLE who are
involved in sports
One of the newspapers I called
was Butte's Montana Standard When
1 mentioned Kelvin's name, sports
reporter Hud Willse sounded
interested He said he knew Kelvin
well, and had even met his father, but
did not have much current "info' * on
Kelvin. So 1 foxed some articles to a
man I would likely never meet under
any other circumstances

products waa* you to believe that you
ladtfieraaf pain reliever for every
loud of ache or pain. They also want
you to thiuk taut there are maay
different kinds of pain relievers
Actually than are only two(2) types
ofOTCpuM relievers: NSA1D stands
^TTterereeouly" types of NSAiDa
on the OTC market, NSAID stands for
I ncbc <inig> arc a^pinn. louproren
(such as Advil or Nuprin) and a new
one to eoftnas osaacrintionMNneah so
OTC status is Naproxen or it's brand
name of Aleve. The NSAIDa work in
the body by blocking the action of
chemicals in the body celled
prostaglandins Prostaglandin are
formed ia the body naturally Some of
these prostaglandin are the force
behind the pun you feel after pulling
or twisting a muscle or some body
part. The new one on the market
Naproxen, brand name Naprosyn and
Mproxes sodium (Anaprox) both have
a proven track record in medicine as
treatment for arthntis for many years
Because of this good record and very
few sides effects the FDA approved
naproxen sodium as anover the counter
pun reliever. Oh. guess what else
naproxen sodium works fester than
plain naproxen.
Now what is thai long word
acetaminophen? Acetaminophen is
Tylenol or Panadoi Acetaminophen
is thought to act on pain centers in the
brain. It isagoodmedicine when used
to combat pain and fever
Acetaminophen is not useAil for the
aches and pain caused by inflammation
from strained muscles, ligaments,
tendons or generalized joint pain and
or swelling
Buy generic brands of these I
medicines and you will save money
and still receive a good product The
generic brands of these drugs must
pass the same medicine standards as
the brand name drugs Some of the ads
on the TV or radio would like to make
you think that the generic (hugs are of
Mwny
Mow there are exceptions to this
^u^^'hrfcc'nci f"""
yllgay the c^TSsmnd^i
pharmacist can tell you if >
medicine is m generic form and if?is
OTC
W heir buying a pain reliever avoid
getting combination drugs because
the pain tciiever pan will generallv Ik:
at a lesset strength then by itself. U
you need *omethnig far pain and a
cold just buy them separately For
example buy ibuprofon tor pain then
a decongestant for the cold ifyou need
one These medicines come in
different farms, captets and gel-caps
may be easier far you to swallow. A
timed-released drug gives longer
relief, which mav be better for muscle
soreness and other low grade aches
and pains The product Ale ve isone of
the long acting medicines for pain
relief A Ika-Seltzer that contains
aspirin has a lot of antacid, which
causesthe pain relieving pari ot aspinn ,
to be greatly reduces. Buffered aspirin
does not prevent upset stomachs.
Enteric-coaled aspirin may lessen the
problems in the stomach and are easy
to swallow. Children under the age of
16-l^with chicken pox or flu
symptoms should not take aspirin,
because of the risk of Reye's
syndrome. The NSAIDs and alcohol
dio not mix. The two of these drugs
together may cause your stomach and
or your intestines to bleed.
Acetaminophen and alcohol used
together can increase and cause liver
damage
Your pain relievers should be
stored in a cool dry place and not in
your bathroom. People should try to
stay with one pain medicine. Low
dose aspirincan prevent heart attacks,
but you should always consult with
you medical provider the medicine as
directed on the label. If you have
questions ask your medical provider
about tbe OTC drugs you are taking
If your pain continues for a long tune
and you have to take the pain relievers
for ail extended time consult with
your medical provider. May God bless
you and your family
