"Angina is pain which occurs in the chest area as a result of insufficient oxygen supply to the heart muscle", said Dr. Robert Touchon, Professor of Medicine and Physiology at Marshall University School of Medicine in Huntington, West Virginia. It is a symptom of heart disease, Canada's number one killer, but is not a disease in and of itself. It has no cure, but can be treated in many ways. There are a variety of options available to the angina sufferer which may ease the number of painful attacks. Often, a special diet low in fat and cholesterol may be required. Your doctor may advise a controlled exercise program or you may be required to adopt a less stressful lifestyle. Medication can be used to help relieve the pain of angina and decrease the number of attacks, and physicians have many categorics and therapies AS) ia) Maes NZ i" with the SWIMMING POOL 5 Guards/Instructors SUMMER PLAYGROUND 1 Summer Playground Leader, 2 Summer Playground Workers Counsellors MAINTENANCE 1 Maintenance Assistant MINOR BALL/SOCCER PROGRAM 1 Minor Ball/Soccer Co-ordinator PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT 1 Enviromental Supervisor, 6 Enviromentalists (Required to clean-up the Township of Terrace Bay) CASQUE - ISLES SECTION OF VOYAGEUR TRAIL Recreation Office.

Nitrate therapy, most commonly nitro- glycerin, has been used to treat angina for over 100 years, and is the most common form of angina therapy. Often prescribed in pill form, a new way of receiving nitroglycerin is through a patch worn on the skin. Other drug therapies include calcium channel blockers and beta blockers. The Transderm-Nitro patch allows nitroglycerin to pass directly through the skin into the bloodstream. The patch system replaces the need to take regular pills, reducing fears about missed medication. Researchers have recently dis- covered that, as with some other drugs, patients can develop a tol- erance to all forms of continuous nitrate therapy. The body becomes tolerant of, or used to functioning with, the medication, which then ceases to provide the desired effect. The issue of tolerance is of increasing concern for cardiolo- gists. Recent studies have indicat- ed, however, that the patch, worn during the stressful waking hours and removed for 10 to 12 hours a day while sleeping, seems to sig- nificantly reduce the tolerance problem.

The symptoms of angina are so remarkably similar to that of a heart attack that the patient never really knows for sure which is occurring -- an angina attack or a more life threatening heart attack. Not only is this a concern for the angina sufferer, it also affects family and fricnds who will share the anxiety. If you are experiencing chest pain, don't ignore it. See your doctor right away. Angina pain is an indicator of a problem. If not treated immediately, it may mean more severe heart problems in the future. Rash of vehicle thefts By Angie Saunders The News Terrace Bay Police Chief Don Kidder wants to inform the public of the recent rash of theft from vehicles. Over the past months there have been incidents where vehi- cles have been broken into and contents stolen. Chief Kidder asked that any- one with information concerning any of these thefts contact the police. Sgt. Ben Jenkins of the RCMP. will be coming to this area to give lectures on drug awareness in the near future.
