Canning memories preserved from the 1950s P eaches grew fat and round on the tree above. I stood on the rib of an over-turned canoe and plucked them from the branches while maintaining my balance. My apron pockets were stuffed.

Moments later, I plopped down, plucking away the fuzzy skin of the peach. I never liked to eat that part.

Dad sauntered up and chose a peach. It always made me laugh to see the juice drip from the corners of his mouth when

he took his first huge bite with a gap between his two front teeth.

“You’d best get into the house. Your mom is getting ready to can.”

I scrambled up the staircase to the house and saw a blue Atlas glass jar with a screw-on lid among the others in a basket. Momma was pouring water into the canning kettle. Her silver charms jingled as she made repeated trips from sink to stove.

“Get up here girl; you

can help peel the peaches.”

She showed me how to run hot water over the fruit so the skin came off easily.

Then, we opened the peach to remove the pit from the softness of its bed in the center. I loved the way it left a dent and a tiny red impression remained.

Momma took her paring knife and sliced peaches into a crockery bowl. We filled the jars with fruit, added a bit of sugar and some water to make a syrup.

The best part was hearDuring the winter, a trip ing the snap or kerplunk to the fruit cellar meant seewhen the jar sealed.

Ward, 71, lived in Headquarters from 1948 to ’70. He graduated from Pierce High School and received a bachelor’s degree in education at Lewis-Clark Normal School (now Lewis-Clark State College). He’s now retired and living in Columbia, S.C., with Beth, his wife of 47 years. His goal with this column is to share the bonds of community developed on the Hill. His stories are fairly true — the names may or may not be changed to protect the guilty — with thanks to the many friends from Headquarters, Pierce and Weippe (and all the little wide spots between these towns) who enriched his life and fueled these memories.

NOT YOUR GRANNY’S TRICYCLE Sleek and sturdy, new three-wheeled ebikes ratchet up the fun factor of fitness

P

By WILLIAM L. SPENCE • FOR GOLDEN TIMES

ULLMAN — Ebikes might be taking the bicycle industry by storm, but some potential riders still shy away from the two-wheel jobbies.

Maybe they have balance issues that keep them out of the saddle. Maybe it’s the narrow little saddles themselves that convince people biking isn’t for them.

Whatever the reason, there are some who believe their riding days are behind them, or who never got started in the first place — but if Brice Erickson has his way, there’s a tricycle in the future for every one of them.

Erickson, the owner of B&L Bicycles in Pullman, recently began stocking recumbent bikes made by TerraTrikes, a 23-year-old firm based in Michigan. The bikes feature adjustable frame seats and a stable, three-wheel base. They can also be ordered with Bosch “pedal-assist” motors to help negotiate those intimidating Palouse hills.

“They eliminate a lot of barriers and open cycling up to people who thought they were done,” Erickson said.

The trikes look something like three-wheeled go-carts, with two wheels up front and one behind. The rider pedals and steers while sitting down.

One of the drawbacks of two-wheeled recumbent bikes, Erickson said, is that riders can’t put their full body weight on the pedals while climbing. The center of gravity is different as well, so balance can be an issue. > See TRICYCLE, Page 12

but the motor only works when the rider is pedaling.

“So you’re still earning it,” Erickson said.

The motorized TerraTrikes are considered a Class 1 ebike, meaning they’ll boost speed to a maximum of 20 mph — if a rider is pedaling hard enough. Sensors measure the amount of input riders provide and simply add to that. When the assist kicks in, it feels like you’re pedaling at a lower, easier gear, but you maintain your speed.

“In low gear, you can climb the steepest hills in town and it feels like you’re on level ground,” Erickson said.

The only drawback to the trikes could be their cool factor. Given their unique look, older riders may end up fending off their kids.

“You want to see a teenager get excited? Put them in one of these,” Erickson said. “It’s like a little pedal go-kart.

They’re really sporty.”

care team to start treatment before a PET scan can be performed, or when scheduling issues or other logistics make it unwise to wait for the scan.

The reason to perform an interim scan after three rounds of chemotherapy is to find out if the disease has gone into remission. If it has, the care team knows the treatment is working, and there is no need to change the ongoing plan. If the disease is not in remission, at that point, the treatment plan likely needs to change to combat the disease more effectively.

A PET scan is particularly well-suited to provide this information.

Unlike other imaging technology, such as a CT scan or an MRI, a PET scan can definitively show if the

lymphoma is still active because it reveals chemical activity within tissues and organs.

For example, a patient with Hodgkin lymphoma may have a mass develop as part of the disease.

He or she can undergo chemotherapy that puts the disease into remission, but a portion of the mass that’s not cancerous might remain behind.

A CT scan or an MRI would show the leftover mass but nothing else.

Before PET scans were available, the only way to confirm that such a mass wasn’t active lymphoma was to perform a biopsy.

Now if a PET scan shows no activity, but a lump is still there, it’s safe to assume the disease is in remission and the mass is

benign, so a biopsy isn’t necessary.

The other benefit of performing an interim PET scan is that it gives the care team information about possible outcomes.

Patients whose disease goes into remission after three rounds of chemotherapy are most likely to stay in remission the longest, and that provides valuable information to guide additional treatment.

Finally, when an interim PET scan shows that lymphoma is not in remission, and changes are made to the treatment plan accordingly, then another PET scan likely will be performed after two or three more chemotherapy rounds to monitor progress and see how well the new treatment is working.

Can physical therapy help with patellofemoral knee pain?

In a comprehensive review according to the American Physical Therapy Association it has been determined that exercise Levi Frasier, PT therapy is the best approach to improve functional performance in the short, medium, and long term for patellofemoral pain. One of my first continuing education courses after graduate school referenced the importance of hip and knee strength in the management of patellofemoral pain and that occurred approximately 14 years ago. Although exercise guidelines were likely established well before my knowledge of the subject it was clear that exercise plays a vital role in knee pain management.

Patellofemoral pain is said to inflict up to 1 in 4 adults every year and women are impacted twice as often as men.

Treatments that therapists can provide include instruction in exercise management, taping, orthotics, mobilization and stretching. Exercise was stressed and should be the primary intervention if used in conjunction with other treatments. If used appropriately treatment of patellofemoral pain can be largely successful.

Please feel free to contact the professional staff at the Institute of Physical Therapy to allow our team to work with you in developing a proper course of treatment to manage your needs.
