Heel spurs and plantar fascitis are frequent problems seen by many coaches of sports that require vigorous running and jumping Both conditions have similar symptoms but are treated Plantar by very different methods fascitis is an inflammation of a tough fibrous tissue which supports the sole of the foot This layer is in part responsible for the arch of the foot and runs from the heel to that area just below the ball of the foot With continued injury irritation and inflammation a chronic painful condition may develop Athletes who participate in long distance running may develop this as an overuse syndrome Other athletes in sports such as who participate basketball and volleyball can actually fascitis from the develop plantar stresses and trauma of jumping Other causes of plantar fascitis include poorly constructed shoes which have little or no arch support abnormally high arches and excessive pronation while running jumping or walking With continued injury pain and disability may worsen and limit the athlete’s ability to participate in his or her sport Commonly the pain is worse in the morning When the individual gets out of bed he or she is only able to walk on tiptoes until the fascia is gradually stretched out to its normal length Initially the pain and tenderness are limited to the sole of the foot but with time the pain may extend up into the ankle and lower leg Changes in the heel bone may occur at the same time or as a result of a separate injury Calcification or spurring may occur at the site of attachment of the plantar fascia The size of the spur may initially be very small but may increase to cause significant symptoms The treatment of these injuries is very important as the athlete needs to return to his or her sport as soon as possible Rest heel pads heel cups and medications are generally the first methods used If the patient does not respond taping may help support the arch decreasing the fascial pain and allowing the athlete to continue participation in his or her sport Arch supports may serve in the same fashion If the symptoms continue injections of cortisone into the area of the heel spur may help to decrease the symptoms of both the plantar fascitis and heel spur syndrome It is unusual that these juries do not respond to conservative therapy However surgical removal of the heel spur is always a last option Prevention is the best treatment Athletes should wear good shoes with an adequate arch support and sufficient padding in the sole to prevent direct trauma Problems such as high foot arches or excessive pronation can be addressed with other orthotics to prevent the problem before it occurs If you have a question regarding tapheel cups or other ing techniques methods used in the treatment of plantar fascitis write SPORTS MEDLINE Dr Stephen Henry 1361 Tyler Park Louisville Kentucky 40204 ThaA's uAnA ft sedd he - Han Thews Mctwlrs by Larry Campbell Millard County USU Extension Agent TOO! BULLS NEED CHECKUPS is the time to have your vet Now check your bulls out for this year’s We spend lots of breeding season money on genetics and health programs for the cow herd only to find an infertile bull cutting short our calf crop The simple fact is if a bull is sick he won’t get the job done If he runs a high fever he will be sterile for 6 to 8 weeks after he gets over it That’s the time it takes for the testicles to form and mature new sperm cells You can’t afford for him to shoot blanks Here is a seven step breeding test your bull needs to pass before going out to pasture: Take a look at his general health and soundness 2 His penis prepruse sheath and testicles all need to be checked for in jury (especially Brahman Cross bulls) 3 He should be rectally palpatated to check out his excessory sex glands 4 Your vet can elecroejaculate him to test seman for numbers motility and abnormalities 5 The bull should also be checked Trich and needs his annual boosters for Lepto and Vibrio 6 You need to pen your bulls up separately for 90 days prior to breeding and feed them to gain pounds 7 Numbers of cows per bull is a function of age health and fertility Older bulls can usually handle cows Young bulis should be held to 20 Before you decide to ship a failed bull remember he can get well if his genetics are worth keeping him around another year In the meantime he will need a replacement at least for this season Medical doctor solves mysteries LETTS 7Dol Gurus and hairstyles Sand in my craw about West Millard residents voting down a new hospital concern of yet getting it anyway underground water supplies becoming contaiminated if a hazardous waste facility is constructed in West Millard County despite best efforts of the Rollins Company my interest in the housing of military personnel this summer in the area are all on the backburner as I relate a tale about my newest guru and how he changed my hairstyle He’s ten years old Observant Enthusiastic HandFrank Emphatic some And he’s one of my lovely grandsons His name is Gabriel one of the nine children of Fraser and Lynette Buck of Orem Trying to look me over without my knowing it he finally blurted “Grandma how long is your hair?” (My hair is in a bun at this time) “Just below my shoulders” I answered “Weird” he prounounced with all the solemnity a can muster I look at him and he gives me eyeball for eyeball “Well Grandma most OLD women wear their hair short and Dennis Hinkamp Information Writer Utah State University My sadistic economics professor used to give us a telephone number to call for help the night before final exams Anyone foolish or desperate enough to fall for the bait got In most parts of the country you can still get In California you can probably get or mantra hotline in case you forget yours While the old lines were free unless you were calling long distance many of the new have a 976 prefix and charge by the minute You may be charged anywhere from 25 cents to $29 per minute depending on which of the 50 or so 976 numbers in Utah you call Although they have become popularly known as 976 numbers Mountain Bell refers to them as Scoopline service Like any other service Mountain Bell maintenance charges for installation and administration of the service They do the billing and also monitor the service to make sure no illegal activity is being conducted It is a new entrepreneurial opportunity Anyone can set up just about any type of call in service they think will make a go of it and they can change whatever the market will bear So far the most common use in Utah has been to set up dating services Some of these operate as call in classified personal ads and some are just an old fashioned party line with a moderator or screener taking incoming calls The cost is about $ 800 plus a monthly charge depending on the number of lines you have installed By Consumer straight Or they get a perm” (By now he’s emphasizing every word with splayed fingers of both hands flailing the air about 18 inches from my nose) “Weird” he reiterates I chose to believe that he was referrto ing my being “out of fashion’s step” with most OLD women rather than the hairstyle as such I cherished and chuckled over that brief but pointed conversation for about two weeks before I succumbed! I hied myself down to Katie’s Kut ’N Kurl for a cut And a perm I realize that I don’t look like other OLD women but at least I’m in step with most of them again!

How I love that kid Sarah Inez Moody first minute and five cents thereafter The business can charge whatever it wants One of the early problems for consumers was that children would see these numbers in advertisements and call them without their parents’ knowledge Parents of course found out later when they received a large telephone bill Since then Mountain Bell has been required to put a block on the 976 number free of charge for any consumer who requests it Like any service the 976 numbers can lead to impulse spending and devastating bills at the end of the month It is easy to forget that a mere 50 cents a minute adds up quickly to a whopping $30 per hour Consumers are protected by a rule that required the 976 service to disclose its cost per minute within the first 45 seconds of the message The main danger to consumers is not realizing the toll charges involved At this writing none of the 976 numbers was located outside the Salt Lake City area That means calls metropolitan from anywhere else in the state are going to have tolls on top of the per minute charge Since all three television networks broadcast it the state throughout would be easy for someone in Logan or St George to mistake the 976 service for a local call The TV commercials usually do say something like "49 cents a minute plus Lolls if any” or “tolls outside metro area” For many people t ie 967 numbers are a wise investment of time and money In addition to dating services you get quick weather information horoscopes legal advice entertainment information and even something called The Hypnosis Line Rep Hansen to speak Jim Hansen will Representative speak in Delta on March 19 at the Farm Bureau Banquet He is a big supporter will speak on rural rural Utah and he of i issues as well as give an update on agricultural and environmental issues Contact Ken Fowles for more information By Jillyn Smith Science Writer Utah State University Dr Jerold Lowenstein is in the news again Last week a newspaper article reported he has identified the human blood”-a 100000 stone cutting tool from Iraq Lowenstein is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of California San Francisco where he practices nuclear medicine But he has also developed a molecular testing technique that has made him into an arbiter of strange disputes a solver of weird mysteries Such as: Is the quagga extinct for 100 years a zebra or a horse?
