Bell expressed her thanks for be- ing invited to participate in our cele-

bration. Lloyd gave a short outline of the

life of James Maury. Members and guests were intro-

duced, then a luncheon was enjoyed by the members and guests.

The program was a talk with slides on the "Flags of the Confederacy" by Mr. Harry Howell, a professor from A&M University.

He showed the flags of the Con- federacy, the changes in design and the reasons for the changes.

The flags were used as center- pieces on the tables. Flags were sold after the luncheon.

The sets of flags will also be for sale in the Columbus Confederate Museum.

OTC Drug Use in Persons with Heart Disease We get questions from persons with heart disease regarding the safety

of over-the counter (OTC) drugs. Treating self-limiting problems with OTCs is uneventful usually, but problems can result sometimes.

Allergy/Cold Medicines: While the decongestants in most allergy and cold medicines may relieve congestion in the nasal passages, such ingre- dients may also stimulate the heart. A topical decongestant (e.g., nasal spray) may be a better choice than oral medicines in persons with heart disease.

Antacids: Some OTC antacids interact with heart disease medicines. Interactions may occur because antacids "tie up" the other drug, making it less available. If both medicines are needed, spacing the times they are taken often eliminates the problem. Generally, heart patients are encour- aged to purchase "low-sodium antacids."

Pain Medicines: Aspirin often is prescribed in small daily doses to "thin the blood." When aspirin is used as a blood thinner, exercise care in choosing pain medicines. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen may be better choices than aspirin. However, it has been found that ibuprofen can interfere with the blood pressure lowering activity of ACE inhibitor medicines.

The Raider eighth grade boys basketball teams hosted Bellville on Monday night, Jan. 6, and were de- feated by the Brahmas.

In the 8th grade B game, the Raiders played very solid after start- ing out sluggish, but came up short, 17-12.

Kurt Coldeway led the scoring with five points, John Rucka had four and Andrew Powers, three.

In the 8th grade A game, the Raiders came out strong, corralling the Brahmas 17-4 at the half.

In the second half, the Raiders were feeling the effects of Christmas vacation as Bellville rolled over them,

Lonnie Sims added five and An- thony Salinas and Paul Valles contri- buted two each.

The Rice Raiders varsity basket- ball team upped their season record to 13-7 Friday night, Jan. 10, by defeat- ing the Edna Cowboys, 66-51.

Leading the way for the Raiders were Willie Cleveland with 12 points and Rocky Banks with 10.

Also contributing were Kenny Pipkins with nine; Josh Godley and Pete Rangel, eight; Eric Johnson, five; Clint Gertson, Maison Pratt and War- ren Scott, four each; and Shaun John- son with two.

By Tina McMilliam The Sheridan Jr. High girls com-

peted in a basketball game in El Campo on Jan. 7 against the Pioneers 8th grade A team.

Courtney Sims, Tiffany Stem and Jakki Alleway each scored two points.

Shelley Greak, Amanda Galvan, Heather Munoz and Kimberly Denley also played.

Robyn Alleway kept stats. The players have worked hard and

can be proud of the improvement they have made.

good in this game except shoot the ball, according to their coach.

Defense, rebounding and effort were the reasons for the victory since the Raiders only made 27 of 80 shots from the field and eight of 24 from the line, he stated.

Also contributing to the victory was the lack of turnovers committed by the Raiders - they had only 11.

"I thought we played well, except for our shooting," said Coach Russell. "We moved the ball, played good de- fense and rebounded real well. These things enabled us to win the game."

The district race was scheduled to start Tuesday with the Raiders travel- ing to Columbus. (Games will be re- scheduled due to inclement weather.)

The district should be very tough and exciting. Columbus, Hempstead and La Grange are the favored teams this year, but the Raiders are starting to show they can compete with anybody and Hallettsville and Bellville are not easy games for anybody.

"I'm excited about our chances in district. And, since every team is pretty good, it should be a lot of fun this year," Russell added.
