The Act Wednesday Nov 8 1978 Fred Lemon proves Mystery woman Still hope for those stricken by arthritis Body identification still eludes police The pain is almost gone and the depression is over but for Fred Lemon of John St few years will always be with him Mr Lemon was stricken with arthritis almost two years ago For several months his and his family s lives were controlled by the pain In his joints and the fear it may never go away It started in his knees in the fall of 1976 and gradually made its way to his shoulders and other joints The pain and stiffness left him mobilized In early 197B Mr Lemon went through another flare up which left him flat on his back His wife and son were forced to carry him up stairs to bed and back down again in the morning bring his meals to him etc Various medical treatments did no good In March Mr Lemon was given shot of cortisone in his shoulder to help relieve some of the pain This seemed to do some good but the pain was still there He could still not work around house and found his independence threatened when his daughter painted their livingroom Boredom of being cooped up the house also started to affect him In May doctors finally ad milted Mr Lemon Into Sunnybrook hospital where he underwent treatment He was pleased with the hospital and explained that the patients were all to gether where Ihey could understand each other s needs and problems When Mr Lemon was admitted he could not walk and had to be carried out to the ambulance on the way to the hospital I left that place on my own steam Mr Lemon recalls walking Although his arthritis is not cured it is cured for an in definite period of time He still feels twinges of pain but not like before he sas Life at home is returning to normal also he said His wife Mary and son arc without the nervous strain which they had lived with for the past several months And he is able to help himself without having to ask his wife and family Mr Lemon has nothing but praise for Hospital and its doctors He had therapy for two hours a day and the doctors were kind and understanding He feels Dr and J Topp both from Sunnybrook deserve a lot of credit In add 1 ion to their feelings about the hospital and the doctors the family also greatly ap preciates all the kind help of their neighbor O It was while in the hospital that Mr Lemon first came Into contact with the Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society When he left Toronto they loaned him a special pillow to sit on to help ease the pain and a lever Mr Lemon places on faucets to enable him to turn water on or off There are some taps in the home he ex plained which pain him to grip The Arthritis Society also provides him with a therapist once a month for as long as necessary Mrs Crispmo who covers all of Hal ton and Peel visits his home and helps him exercise his legs arms hips etc Mr Lemon feels this Is great asset to his well being and feels the society should get the credit they deserve The worst part is over hopefully for Mr Lemon He still feels pain if he stays in THE LEMON HOME on John St is almost back to normal after Fred Lemons two year bout with arthritis Now that the worst part is over the Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society sends someone once a month to give him therapy and has loaned him special articles to make his life a little bit easier such as a lever for taps and a special cushion one spot too long but getting from being up in the morning is virtually supervisor for the Ontario painless he said as com School for the Deaf in Milton when his problems Acton Rotary

He is looking forward to the commencement of the senior citizen apartments in Acton I worked hard on that He will be very concerned to see that those who originally applied will qualify The length of time the project has taken has created great pro blems Rural hydro rate up 7 Rates charged to customers served by Ontario Hydros rural retail system will increase an average of seven per cent in Ontario Hydro said the increase is necessary to recover the higher wholesale cost of power as well as slight increases in retail distribution costs Increases in wholesale power costs for municipal utilities and direct industrial customers were announced last month It was also announced that as in bills based on metered energy will continue to be reduced by an inflation discount during 1979 It now seems certain that the high sales of energy to the S and better than predicted performance by the nuclear plants will result in excess earnings as measured by the AIB guidelines The discount as adjusted from time to time will ensure that the rural retail system share of this excess is returned to its customers during The effect of the increase on individual customers will vary depending on their con sumption and classification For example a typical rural residential customers monthly bill of 25 will increase by approximately Details will be mailed to all retail customers Hal ton Regional Police detectives have received approximately 10 calls re at to the discovery of the body of woman found In the apple orchard of the Chud lclgh farm on Highway According to Detective Ian police have re ceived a variety or descrip tions of the woman but have been unable to identify the body He stated the calls came Continued from Page major Issues To be an effective cillor one must listen and then take a stand on contentious Issues he says This I have always done Acton is my home and I am very proud of its accomplishments but I am also very concerned of the financial burden that would be borne by the people If some of the recommendations made by local groups were initiated As I said earlier Councillors must listen to presentations and then they must resolve the issue in the best interest of the entire community Wo are living in a time of severe restraint when every dollar spent must be carefully considered and accounted for I have worked along with others over ttjt past five years to bring significant and proven financial benefits to Acton along with increased services This work will con to have a high priority During my term of office have had numerous calls from local residents seeking help to resolve problems I thoroughly enjoy helping people and my municipal experience has brought satisfying results in most eases There are many local Issues to which council must address itself One of the major issues is the allocation and acceptance of Beard more industrial waste into our sewage treatment plant The addition to our plant is now complete and 1 will con to fight for waste to be accommodated in our plant Mr thinks another concern will be our 1979 operating budget With severe restraints council will be forced to hold the line Perhaps it is time to consider zero base budgeting 1 will support an acceptable level of service that people can reasonably afford When we officially opened the addition to the fire hall in everyone was con scious of the need and value of Volunteers The firemen ore an excellent example As operating budgets continue to rise council must make better use of the expertise of local who could and would not just advise but admin ister some of the service provided to people I have served on executive of the local I A and 1 will continue to support its needs I pleased with the local improvements one sees downtown and I trust that more positive steps will be taken to encourage our from people living in Acton Milton and Georgetown who said they spotted the woman in the immediate vicinity of these communities Police
