Show '"v 4C r "l,', s. ,v ' Skateboards at my age? By Terrell Dougan Why, you ask, woiil.1 I ever want to learn to skateboard? Well, sec, there you go asking dumb questions again Youve got to leam to see The Big Picture' I.et me lead you to this, step by step no our kids 1. A whole generation of kids it rides skateboards longer walks 2 Soon they will have drivers' licenses, but what with the dwindling of gas (to say nothing of pat king spares) on the earth, they will soon give up the idea of driving the car. They will continue on those skateboards. 3 Now I want you to imagine subsequent generations joining them on these skateboards. 1 first began to realize the horrible implications of this craze as I walked along the campus of our university the other day, and a few young guys Of all Things ... Pete Vrontikis came hurtbng past me. Well, I said to myself, "they're too YOUNG to be going to college." Aha." said myself right back. "Give them three years, kid. Just three years, and can you imagine what this campus is going to look like?" And just then I cl i mix'd into my car. turned on the radio, and heard about a kid he was who got a speeding ticket skateboarding at 40 miles an hour in a 30 mile zone! Dont you see it aU coming? EVERYONE will be on a skateboard but YOU. dummy, and there youll be, just walking along, the laughing stock of the neighborhood, a perfect target for skateboarder Son & !'.

THOSTESON: problem and I wonder if it is worth seeing a doctor about I am 26 years old and had rheumatic fever as a child Because of that I now have something called "aortic insufficiency."

An electrocardiogram will show any difference between your present heart beat and what it was the last time d"-vtl- One cant predict whether this will go away by itself or require specific treatment. Your anxiety about the condition isnt helping matters. You should have this matter checked just to be on the safe side Recently I had a bout with the flu and ever since then my heart beat has kind of gone out of whack I can feel it and when it goes on for about five minutes I get dizzy. Once I even passed out for a few minutes Is this normal with this kind of heart problem? N.C. Do you think it will go away by itself? ANSWER: Rheumatic fever can leave permanent heart damage, which the victim must reckon with the rest of his life. The aortic valve is a frequent target of such an illness. That is the valve that controls blood flow from the heart to the aorta, the hodys main artery. With rheumatic fever there can he a scarring (thickening) of the valve and the blood flow can be altered (aortic insufficiency). Its important to understand this possibility You are wise to have your annual check up. If heart damage did occur, you have to become extra alert to such things as flu infection. Bedrest is important, fever patients.
