LO 9 • •
Ions glft bear brightens meet on Cancer, healing arts set

HeTlhwMila]s:ntCmOUtYexB°dr: f as wellness fest's focus
The Shelton Lions Club presented a Spinoza
Bear to 3-year-old Brooke Lund of Shelton on
Wednesday, June 16, a month before her scheduled
open heart surgery.
"Brooke was very excited to receive such an un-
expected gift," reports Lion Mel Williamson.
Brooke's mother Kim Lund and sisters Amy and
Allison were with her at the presentation.
"Kim said Brooke has been a real trooper
through this ordeal," Williamson notes. Brooke's
Spirits have held up well through four other opera-
tions, he adds, and her mother believes this bear
will help her get through the next one.
The Spinoza Bear is available to nonprofit or-
ganizations for the purpose of providing comfort to
°ung children going through serious or terminal
Jnesses. It's larger than a normal size teddy bear
and is equipped with a recording device.
When parents are unable to be with their chil-
dren at the hospital, the child can play pre-recorded
music or talking tapes to ease anxiety and help
soothe them, Williamson explains. Family mem-
bers can also record their voices. The Spinoza Bear
is one of the only items allowed with a child in the
Operating room, according to Williamson.
Shelton Lions Club members save their pennies
and bring the coins to each of the bi-monthly meet-
ings. This is the second bear the club has presented
to a Mason County child this year.
Williamson says donations from the public are
also appreciated. Tax-free contributions for this
tPl°ject and other community efforts can be sent to
t^ne Shelton Lions Club at P.O. Box 596, Shelton
t8584.
BROOKE LUND hugs a special friend she
will take with her when she has open
heart surgery. The Spinoza Bear, a gift to
the 4-year-old from the Shelton Lions
Club, has a recorder tucked inside so she
can listen messages from her family,
music and stories.
We are growing changing
like our patients.
We now have a new name...and
location...to better serve you!

Gum Infection &
Risk of Diseases
Periodontal disease is caused by
bacteria-containing plaque at or be-
low the gum line, resulting in chronic
infection of the gums and supporting
structures of the teeth. Chronic gum
disease has been linked to cardio-
vascular disease, diabetes, respira-
tory disease, and preterm delivery
and low birth weight. The inflamma-
tory response to infection can allow
bacteria and toxins to enter the sys-
temic (entire body) circulation and
cause infection elsewhere, such as
in the heart. Severe periodontal in-
fection can make it more difficult for
persons with diabetes to control
blood sugar. Periodontal disease is
often painless and may have few
symptoms until late in the disease.
Diagnosis is made by probing the
gums and reviewing oral x-rays. More
information is available by calling
the American Academy of Perio-
dontology (1-800-FLOSS-EM) orvis-
iting their website (www.perio.org).
