Show Sports Free Press Wednesday, August 8, 1990 Page 6 - Amy Allen places at nationals People who excel at anything usually have to practice, practice, practice. A pianist must pay his or her dues by spending many hours playing scales and practicing to a metronome to get the timing right; an actor or actress must learn stage techniques by studyingfor years on end. People who ride horses must have a thorough acquaintance, not only with horses, but the rules and disciplines of strict horseriding principles. Most contestants in any phase of competition must learn the rigors of competition on a local, then on a grander scale. These are all criteria that Amy Allen understands. She returned last week from the national finals for high school rodeo contestants held in Shawnee, Okla., with a new respect for the sport of rodeo and the people who participate at nationals. Amy qualified for nationals by winning first in goat tying at state. She also qualified in barrel racing and cow cutting. She placed ninth in the nation in "cuttin'".

Wax may accumulate due to overactive wax producing glands, narrow or curved ear canals, or secretion of a wax that is either harderor softer than normal. Ear wax may become impacted andwillbedifficulttoremovewhen it is pushed deep into the ear canaL Generally, there is no wax in the inside half of the ear canal unless it has been pushed there. The best approach toexcess ear wax is to go to a physican for professional removal of the wax with the proper instruments. Do not attempt to remove the wax with stick applicator or a cotton-tippe- d swab. Wax pushed next to the ear drum can cause loss of hearing, Also, accumulated wax may trap water inside the ear, producing problems during the warm sum rnerrrKXtfhs when many indiviudals . , go swimming. In some instances, accumula-tion of wax in the external portion of the ear canal can be prevented. Many nonprescription wax-softingproductscontainprepytotfgry- n cm or glycerin. Other ing substances include olive oil, mineral oil, and diluted hydrogen peroxide solution. After the wax has been softened, it should be re moved by gently irrigating the ear canal with warm water, using a rubber ear syringe. en wax-softe- |
