II 4 • Lions__ and.., bears, oh my! Health board At Harmony Hill: LO 9 • • Ions glft bear brightens meet on Cancer, healing arts set surgery scene for Brooke august 12 HeTlhwMila]s:ntCmOUtYexB°dr: f as wellness fest&apos;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.

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.
