Corneal transplants give a gift of sight

by Berniece H. Dwyer Shortly after she was born, doctors told the parents of Elysse Diaz that she could not sec. Faced with the realization that their baby was blind, the young parents took her to a specialist who diagnosed the condition as an extremely rare eye disease called congenital hereditary stromal dystrophy-in lay terms, the comea of her eyes wereclouded, preventing light from passing through to the retina. The ophthalmologist said that normal vision could be restored with a comeal transplant to each eye. At the age of eight weeks, Elysse had her first successful comeal transplant. The second one was performed a few weeks later. Now, at the age of two, her vision is normal. This young child’s vision was restored through the generosity of two donors-parents who gave their young child’s eyes, at death, to the eye bank. In every state of the nation, people of all ages are waiting for a donated comea to restore or improve their sight. The reason for the shortage is that people are failing to tell their next-of-kin of their desire to donate their eyes upon their death. Signing an eye donor card and the back of one’s driver’s license arc also recommended, but physicians are reluctant to remove eyes or other organs without permission of next-of-kin. Have you told your family of your wish to give sight to another? (Berniece H. Dwyer is a retired

Bremen Kiwanis Club continues travel series

The Bremen Kiwanis Club’s second travelogue in its scries of six for 1993-94 will be “This is Israel,” narrated by photographers Howard and Pollard. The film will be presented in Bremen High School’s Bowen Auditorium, Thursday, November 18, 7:30 p.m. The Land of Israel is the cradle of three great religions. Here, within a quarter of a mile, Abraham offered up Isaac, Mohammed ascended into heaven and Jesus died on the cross. This middle eastern nation is the realization of a dream. Promised by God to Abraham, it was welded into a powerful Hebrew Nation by David and Solomon. In 1948, it became a Jewish State, and now people from a hundred lands weave the multi-hued tapestry of Israel. The tour takes travelers to Tel Aviv, a new modem city designed and built to be a capital city, as was Washington D.C., Brasilia and Canberra. The ancient port city of Jaffa is nearby. After the heat of the Negev Desert, Haifa on the Mediterranean and the port of Acre are refreshing. A modem Kibbutz makes farming the mutual effort of several families. The Red Sea offers the beaches of Eilat; Capernaum, Nazareth, Shevuot and Bethlehem remind persons of Bible history; Jericho is alive and well after 10,000 years and time is reversed at the Bedouin Market in Beersheba. The lowest spot on earth is the Dead Sea, where adventurers will find considerable life and activity. The Masada is where 900 Jews chose death at their own hand rather than the dictates of Rome. In Jerusalem, ‘The Golden City,” explore the Mt. of Olives, Mt. Zion and David’s Tomb, the animal market at Herod’s Gate and the Garden of Gethsemane. Join the procession along the Stations of the Cross, observe a Bar Mitzvah at the Wailing Wall, enjoy the beauty of the Chagall Windows at the Hadassah Hospital and the Billy Rose Garden. The maze of narrow, ancient streets in the old walled quarter reveal a market where many cultures meld. Howard and Barbara Pollard both have backgrounds that are ideal for their adventurous life of travel film making. Howard, a native midwestemer, spent the summers of his boyhood in the rugged north country of Michigan, where he developed an appreciation for the beauty of nature and an enjoyment of capturing beauty on film. After studying engineering and film making at Lawrence Tech,

Holiday cooking tips for arthritics Preparing the traditional Thanksgiving dinner is a time consuming task for any cook. For people with arthritis, cooking the traditional Thanksgiving dinner can be timeconsuming as well as painful, reports the Arthritis Foundation, Indiana Chapter. The average kitchen has many obstacles for people with painful joints, according to the Arthritis Foundation. By making some inexpensive modifications and using energy-saving methods, people with arthritis can protect their joints. This will simplify food preparation and allow them to enjoy the pleasures of cooking. The Arthritis Foundation offers these suggestions. Plan ahead-carefully plan your activities to lessen physical stress and fatigue. If possible, do some of your cooking and meal preparation ahead of time. Rest-alternate periods of food preparation with rest. Sit, do not stand -for support and comfort, sit on a high barstool, preferably one that swivels. Use labor-saving devices—electric devices, such as can openers, mixers, knives and blenders, can conserve energy and prevent strain to your joints. Use gripping deviccs-if you have problems holding objects, place foam rubber padding around the handles of your knives, pans or other kitchen items. To request a free copy of “Using Your Joints Wisely,” or to request information about the next Arthritis Self-Help Course in you area, contact the Arthritis Foundation, Indiana Chapter, 1-800-783-2342.
