Wilson Told Vital Statistics 44 Santa Cruz Sentinel Friday, October 13, 1978 SC Files Lawsuit Over Accident FUNERALS Mysterious Illness Hits A Gault Elementary proceeds straight ahead. The driver of the garbage truck, Kenneth Donald Evans, has filed a similar suit against the four men. The men were on their way to work in the North Coast fields when the crash occurred in dense fog. State and county health officials have been called in to investigate a mysterious set of illnesses at Gault Elementary School which may be tied to paint fumes from radiators. Santa Cruz City Schools officials called in California Office of Safety and Health Administration and the county Health Services Agency after three teachers complained of dizziness and headaches and some students also seemed affected.

"So far, we have no results from their tests," said Assistant Superintendent Larry Ernst. The radiators are suspect because they were painted during the summer in the school's maintenance program. Though paint labels indicated nothing harmful in the paint, the teachers' complaints began when the raditors were turned on in cool weather. Any effect on students was apparently slight because classes and students change during the school day. "But the teachers are in the rooms all day," Ernst explained.

"We won't know what, if anything, is wrong until the tests are complete," he said. Four men, who were injured when their car collided with a city garbage truck on Highway 1, are facing suit from the City of Santa Cruz. The city has filed a suit asking that it be reimbursed for the costs of repairing the truck and the workman's compensation paid to the driver of the vehicle. Two people were killed in that accident. A total of five people were injured.

According to the suit, the city charged that the four men "so negligently maintained, owned, designed, controlled and entrusted the vehicle" that it collided with the garbage truck. The car, driven by Eugenio Perez of 1700 Coast Road, was traveling at "an excess speed" and in "a reckless and erratic manner," according to the suit. It asks that the men Eugenio Perez, Pablo Perez, Juventino Rubalcava and Esabel Ramirez, all of 1700 Coast Road pay for repair of the truck, workmen's compensation and other damages. The suit also charges that Highway 1 at Dimeo Lane is in a "dangerous condition" because the white line on the road curves to the east and gives the impression the road is curving to the east when it actually Homes Schedules Festival Sunday HEALTH barbecued chicken for all members of the family.

Hal Morris, chairman of the Jennie Hiatt Rites Conducted Services have been held for Jennie Virginia Hiatt, a native of Santa Cruz, who died Oct. 7 in San Pablo at age 67. She is survived by her husband, Sylvester Hiatt of El Cer-rito; a son, William A. Wilson of Marietta, a daughter, Margaret J.

Vilas of Vacaville; two brothers, Guido and Henry Bianconi, both of Santa Cruz and five grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted from the San Pablo Chapel of the Wilson Kratzer Mortuaries, San Pablo, Tuesday, followed by services at Rolling Hills Memorial Park in Richmond. J7 To Return To Hospital Bus hyjacker Thomas Benton Wilson sat calmly Thursday afternoon as a jury ruled that he posed "a danger to the health and safety of others" and he was ordered back to Atascadero State mental hospital. The verdict came shortly before 1 p.m. after approximately 45 minutes of deliberation by the Superior Court jury.

Wilson said nothing after the verdict was read. His hands trembled slightly as jurors were polled for their verdict. The decision came after two days of trial to determine if Wilson was able to leave the mental hospital. Wilson, 27, was sent to Atascadero hospital after he hijacked a city bus then held 67 persons hostage at a Bonny Doon religious retreat. Wilson will not be able to appeal for his release for another year, according to Superior Court Judge Chris Cottle.

"I certainly agree with your verdict," said Cottle. "I couldn't have reached any other verdict None of us, I think, have any animosity toward Mr. Wilson. He is ill, and seriously ill." Wilson was led from the courtroom after the verdict. He said nothing.

Bonny Doon School Election Is Certified The county Elections Department Thursday certified the results of Tuesday's unsuccessful recall election against four Bonny Doon School trustees, finding the unofficial results to be one vote off. One absentee ballot failed to be counted Tuesday, County Elections Supervisor Francis Giardina said. Since the voter casting this ballot was anti-recall, the official count gave trustees and anti-recall candidates each one extra vote. It also brought the total number of voters casting ballots to 360. School Board Committees Set The Santa Cruz City School Board has named its committee members for the 1978-79 school year.

Lamb, M.D. than science tions from the penicilliamine treatment, it has proved to be an important addition to their medical-management program. In short, it is a very useful medicine in a small number of selected cases of the much larger number of people who have rheumatoid arthritis. To give you more information about rheumatoid arthritis, I am sending you The Health Letter number 4-11. Other readers who want this information can send 50 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope for it.

Address your request to me in care of this newspaper, P.O. Box 1551, Radio City Station, New York, NY 10019. DEAR DR. LAMB I am 16 years old and jog three or four times a week, but I seem to be breathing harder than I should when I jog. I was wondering if it is because my father smokes heavily and I breathe the smoke from his cigarettes? DEAR READER You can get harmful effects from second-hand smoke.

Perhaps one of the best examples is if people smoke heavily in a closed room. In the course of time, the carbon-monoxide level can build up to levels higher than allowed in industrial environments. There is no way I can tell whether your father's smoking pollutes the air in your house enough to cause you a significant problem. I would be inclined to doubt it, no matter how irritating the smoke may be to you. Of course, if the house is closed up, and he smokes an awful lot, then you might have a point.

More than likely, you're jogging too fast. A proper jog is done at a speed which doesn't cause a person to become breathless. If you can't talk comfortably while you are jogging, you are jogging too fast. The purpose of jogging is to cover distance, not speed. It's usually just as good for the body to jog three miles slowly as it is to jog it a little faster.

Brown, 82, who died Tuesday morning in a Lodi hospital. A native of Allensburg, he moved to Petaluma in 1924, then to Martinez in 1925 and to Santa Cruz in 1962. For the past two years he had been a resident of Lodi. He had been employed for 30 years by Shell Oil Company and had managed a mobile home park in Santa Cruz. He was an avid fisherman and a member of the Mid-County Senior Citizens Band.

He was also a member of the Lodi Community Church. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Bertha Brown of Lodi; two sons, Edwin Brown of Lodi and Melvin Brown of Linden, a daughter, Mrs. Twila Peck of Fair Oaks; eleven grandchildren and ten greatgrandchildren.

The defense started with three rounds of spades at both tables.

Norman Kay of the runners-up and Paul Soloway of the winners ruffed that third spade, led the jack of hearts and let it ride. When the jack held, they each led a second trump to dummy's king, came to their own hands with the king of diamonds, led the ace of trumps while discarding dummy's ace of diamonds, ran the rest of the diamonds to concede one trump trick whenever West chose to take it. This play was safe against all 4-2 trump breaks. Suppose that trump finesse had lost. East would be on lead.

If he led a fourth spade South would ruff in dummy, come to his hand with that same king of diamonds, pull the rest of the trumps and run off the rest of the tricks. Now look what would have happened to either declarer if he had played the first trump to dummy's king and finessed on the way back. West would take his queen and lead the fourth spade. South would have to ruff and West would be left with a sure trump trick and South with a severe headache.

Friggaphobiacs don't like Fridays. Triskaidckaphobes fear the number 1.1 According to the National Geographic Society, humans have been battling these fears for centuries. Some standard methods of protection on Friday the 13th include winking at white horses, refusing to eat bananas with ketchup, whistling while passing cemeteries, and tipping your hat to lop-eared dogs. Friday the 13th superstitions even made their way into America's national pastime.

More sensation By Lawrence Lamb, M.D. DEAR DR. LAMB I would like to know about penicillamine which is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Many patients in my area are interested in this drug, particularly since we have read glowing reports about it in newspapers. Is it really a miracle drug in curing rheumatoid arthritis? DEAR READER Judging from some reports, you would think there was a new cure invented for some of our long-term diseases almost every month.

I am afraid this is more sensationalism than science. The news stories in reference to penicilliamine in some papers is a classic example of this problem. Penicilliamine is a good medicine. As the Arthritis Foundation has pointed out, it is not a miracle drug to cure all cases of rheumatoid arthritis. In fact, it can cause a list of complications as long as your arm.

Some of these complications are worse than rheumatoid arthritis It can affect blood elements leading to bleeding, cause kidney problems and other disorders. No one should be on this medicine without being carefully followed by his physician. Penicilliamine was pioneered by Dr. Israili Jaffe. The use of the medicine for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration at this writing.

Dr. Jaffe felt that some of the newspaper stories that overstated the case for penicilliamine in treating rheumatoid arthritis was really a "cruel disservice to arthritis sufferers." The medicine is reserved for those cases of long-standing, recurrent attacks of severe rheumatoid arthritis that have not been effectively controlled with other measures.
