TELEPHONE 623-6555 JOHN MANUEL, C.G.A. Income Tax and Related Accounting Services 118 King St. E., Suite 2 Bowmanville, Ontario L1C1N4 by Peter Parrott Lisa Arnburg, a grade one student from Maple Grove, is one of the best examples of what your Heart Fund dollars can accomplish. Her story reveals how research, research, modern technology and skilled medical personnel personnel can turn a sick" infant into a perfectly healthy six- year-old. Lisa's mother, Barb, recalls recalls that she first suspected suspected something could be wrong when Lisa had difficulty difficulty sleeping as a baby. In addition, she didn't appear to be gaining weight as quickly as she should have. But it wasn't until Lisa was approximately four months old and had a severe severe case of pneumonia and infection that the seriousness seriousness of her medical condition condition became apparent. The bout with pneumonia, an operation, and a 27-day stay in Toronto's Hospital For Sick Children revealed that Lisa had an enlarged heart and a number of congenital defects. Some of these problems were repaired by means of heart surgery during her first stay in hospital. Doctors found that she had what are commonly called holes in the heart. In Lisa's case, these consisted of small openings between the right and left ventricle which her physicajn in Bowmanville, Dr. H.T An- fossi, describes a septal defects. defects. In addition, she had a heart abnormality which results when the the aorta and the pulmonary artery are joined in condition called an aorto-pulmonary window. Dr. H. Anfossi explained that this is known as a patent patent ductus. Before a baby is born, blood is not pumped through the lungs but takes a short-cut through a blood vessel which normally ceases to work once the lungs begin to funcion. But sometimes this does not occur and as a result, it creates a condition Letters to the Editor To the Editor: I would like to let the people of Durham Region know that because of the mayor's influence influence the council will not revoke their vote on property re-assessment. I thought a public official was supposed to be working for the public. This rejection to public outcry proves that the mayor is not serving the püblic. Therefore, I think he should resign. On the morning of February thirteen, the mayor stated that he believed in the system. If the system is right or fair it should afford the public the means to rid themselves of someone who is doing a bad job, without having to wait for an election. I feel that - had there been no mayor, council led by Ann Cowman probably would have done something. I thank her for her efforts. It was hard for her to do anything anything with the mayor telling her to sit down all the time. I ask you what we need a mayor for anyway? Members of council could take turns chairing chairing their meetings and do a fine job themselves. And just think, fellow taxpayers, we wouldn't have to pay the mayor's wages for taxing us to death. If I were to put a for sale sign on my house now, the sign would rot before the house was sold. If you are unhappy with the mayor I urge you to voice your opinion. At the very least, please do not vote for him in the next election. Maybe a few of us unhappy taxpayers will do a little campaigning campaigning of our own to remind people of just how bad a job the mayor is doing. B. Burke Enniskillen Dear Editor : On October 15,1954, the City of Toronto was devastated by Hurricane Hazel and was cut off from the rest of the countryside, 2nd Field Engineer Regiment, a militia unit with squadrons in Toronto, Hamilton, and North Bay, was called out for active duty to aid the civil authorities. During the following days, the task groups from the Regiment assessed the structural capacity of over 250 bridges, and demolished various damaged structures throughout the area surrounding Metropolitan Toronto. To commemorate that event, the Regiment will hold a reunion in October, 1984, the 30th anniversary of the disaster. Over the years, the Regiment has lost contact with many of the men and women who served with the unit in 1954. Any former members of the Regiment who wish to participate in the Hurricane Hazel reunion are asked to send their current address to Major M.J. Kitchen, 837 Legge Court, Newmarket, Ontario, L3Y3J1. which may have to bé corrected corrected surgically. Lisa's hospitalization and treatment were a complete shock to Barb and George Arnburg who cannot recall any heart disease in their own family backgrounds. The parents explained that there were two main operations. The first one in 1977 and the second in 1979. The second operation was open heart surgery using a heart lung machine while the heart is stopped so that the surgeons can repair it. Between the surgery, there were visits to Sick Children's Hospital for a heart catheterization and a five-day stay during a severe severe cold. Mrs. Arnburg has high praise for the staff and facilities facilities at the Hospital for Sick Children. "It's one of the best places ever to get care," she said. While Lisa was getting over her heart problems, one of the main difficulties facing her parents was protecting protecting her from infections. People who had cold^were urged to stay away from the Arburg home since, an infection, infection, combined with her heart ailments could have proved dangerous. Lisa's physical activities were not restricted, Mrs. Arnburg recalls. Medical staff advised her that young children tend to know their own limitations and stop whatever they're doing if they become over-tired. Barb and George Arnburg recall, however, that Lisa had recurring nightmares after her stay in hospital. Her older brother, Carl, was sympathetic to his sister's sister's medical condition and helped out wherever he could, Mrs. Arnburg recalled. recalled. Before Lisa recovered completely, medication consisted of three different kinds of drugs each day, and sometimes antibiotics were also needed in order to pre- • vent infection. However, the operations, the medicines, and the lengthy stays in hospital are now behind Lisa. Her latest medical check-up gave her a clean bill of health. Doc tors say her heart is normal and she is free to do all the things that any six-year-old might enjoy. Her favorite subject at school is math and she likes skiing, jazz dancing, and camping. . By any standards, Lisa Arnburg is a complete success success story. Her family credits the work of the Heart Foundation Foundation for much of that success. success. The Heart Fund has spent $146 million on research research in the past 26 years. Many surgical techniques have been pioneered by Canadian medical researchers researchers through contributions contributions from the Ontario heart Fund. As Heart Month winds to a close, volunteers across the province are collecting funds which, they hope, will lead to the goal of $9 million. million. But all of these facts are mere numbers. It is stories such as those of Lisa Arnburg and others like her which show that the dollars donated to the Heart Fund are, indeed, well spent. fzesutta PHOTO FINISHING 237 King Street East (Dominion Plaza) Bowmanville Thursday, March 1st, 1984 10 o'clock z OPENING SPECIAL Thurs., Fri., Sat.; Mar. 1st, 2nd, 3rd FREE Two 5" x 7" Enlargements with Every Roll of Film Developed
