A city in which people “eat

hockey team as its copyrighted

Club in 1968.

There are also Shrine
clubs in Nelson and Salmo.
Robson _ resident, C.
(Andy) Andrew, hospital
representative for Castle-
gar, said the more the
Shrine clubs the merrier.

“The whole secret is to
get as many clubs out there
as possible.”

Andrew, along with Les
Allan, secretary, and Jim
Penman, president, are
only a few of the members
who quietly, but actively,
participate in the busi
of helping children.

Andrew acquired his
interest in helping others
during the war when he
worked as a male nurse. He
has been an active Shrine
member for over 31 years.

Since the Castlegar
group was organized they
have helped over 300 chil-
dren—most from the
Castlegar, and Slocan Val-

areas.

Shriners Hospitals are
among the best in the
world and they have a
three-fold purpose—treat-
ment, saving children’s
lives and restoring their
bodies to the highest level
of usefulness. Another goal

is research.

Shriners Hospitals con-
duct research into spinal
cord injury, and orthope-
dic and bum care. They
also educate and train
physicians and other
medical professionals in

orthopedic disabilities
and burn injuries.

The Shriners,

though onl blished
in Castlegar as a separate
group in 1968, have been
actively helping children
of this area for many
years. Andre and Marjorie
Lamarsh of Castlegar had
not one, but two, children
who were helped by the
Shriners i in 1966.

Lamarsh noted;

“Andy had come about

No child is ever turned
down by the Shriners and
income level is not a con-
sideration. A short inter-

decision for the parents.

soon find that their son’s
hip problem was more
severe than first thought.

“It was found eventually
in both hips. He was in
Castlegar Hospital for a

Spokane. It was hard to
leave a two year old. He
was a very energetic boy
and it was very hard on
him to be off his feet.”

The Pryces soon found
out that their decision to
transfer him was the cor-
rect one.

“We took him in, and we
would visit as often as we
could. After about a month
it was discovered that his
X-rays kept getting better
and better.

At the end they said he
was cured—which was
almost like a miracle.”

Janet calls it a “clicky
hip” where the hip pops in
and out. The problem
became more pronounced
after Amy started walking.

“Tt wasn’t until she start-
ed weight bearing, and
walking, that the hips start-
ed popping in and out.”

The Stalkers took their
then year-old daughter for
x-rays which confirmed
the hip dysplasia.

Even though Children’s
Hospital in Vancouver can
treat the problem the Stalk-
ers decided to take Amy to
Spokane for treatment.

“The next step should
have been Children’s Hos-
pital in Vancouver, but we
decided that the Shriner’s
Hospital, was closer than
Vancouver,” said Janet.

covered that Amy had a
strep infection that, if left
untreated, could have
attacked her heart and joints.

Amy was re-admitted to
the hospital for another six
weeks and given intra-
venous antibiotics to treat
the infection. Her treat-
ment was monitored by
her own infectious
specialist.

Amy has been treated
at both the Old Shriner’s
Hospital in Spokane and
the new Shrine Hospital
also in Spokane.

The newer Shrine Hospi-
tal is bigger, has accommo-
dation right at the hospital
for visiting parents and
Ronald McDonald house is
just two blocks away.

Amy will be six-years-
old in October and, her
mother is relieved that
all traces of her earlier
medical problem have
disappeared.

“She can run faster than
her two older sisters. Peo-
ple will ask me, which one
had the problem, and I say
this one, and they say ‘no’,
but she’s just as good as
new. They [the doctors]
don’t feel there will be any
problems—but they still
monitor her and will til
she’s 21.”

Although low-profile,
the Shriners are a valuable
club which has helped
many children live a nor-
mal life.

This year alone seven
children from the Castle-
gar area have been assisted
by the Shriners.
