Manson Spokane County Dept. of Building & Safety W. 1303 Broadway Ave. Spokane, WA 99201 Dear Mr. Manson: PERMIT NO. 88000243 25 X 25 Square Foot Addition to residence Owner:Larry Brinkley East 13204 9t.h Avenue Parcel No. 22544-0932 Spokane County, WA 99216 Permit Fee $213.50 Payment deferred until property sold, approved by James L. Manson, Director Department of Building and Safety. DATED: February 17, 1988 Recently a member of my family was involved in a sledding accident. As a result of the accident my son is paraplegic and will not be mobile around our house due to its current desire. I am going to have to place an additon on my home in order that my 17 year old son Larry can function on his own. I am sure that you can understand that the cost of my sons medical needs is astronomical. Our insurance will be handling a large portion of the medical payment; however, the balance will have to be paid by myself. There are many people in our community offering assistance to our family in many ways. In order for this project to get started, I understand a $213.00 building permit is required. At this time, Mr. Manson, I am unable to pay this amount. I understand there is a possibility of deferring this $213.00 until the sale of my house with your approval. This would be a tremendous help if you would be able to grant this deferral. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, rr Larry rinkley Aid sought for teen disabled after sledd,i ng accident By Jeff Bauer Larry Brinkley Jr., 17, a junior at Central Valley High School, lived a pretty normal lifestyle for 'an active teen- ager his age. He was also on the Central Valley wrestling squad. All of that changed about six weeks ago. Brinkley decided on Dec. 22 to go sledding at Valley Mis- sion Park, He was involved in an accident on the slope and has since been paralyzed from the waste down and will most likely be confined to a wheelchair. A group of people, led by the co -presidents of the Central Valley High School Boosters Club, is seeking to help Larry adjust to his new lifestyle by leading a drive to acquire donations to help with medi- cal expenses and materials to build an addition onto the Brinkley's home on East Ninth. The CV Boosters are spear- heading the project. Co -presi- dents are Tim Burns and Jim Boardman. The 25-by-25-square-foot addition to the home will con- sist of a bedroom for Larry, a bathroom with handicapped facilities and a therapy pool. "We would like to see a fund created to help offset medical expenses and to acquire building materials," said Burns. "We would like it 10 percent funded through dona- tions from businesses. We want to go out to the commun- ity and seek their support, especially for building mate- rials or money for the cause." Burns said that he and Board- man are spearheading the cause but will not use CVHS Boosters Club money. Warren Cummings Heyl- man and Partners Architects have already donated archi- tectural drawings of the new addition to the Brinkley home. A trust fund.is expected to be set up some time this week. Those wishing to donate materials or funds should contact Burns at 924-0550 or Boardman at 924-0099. "These three guys have really worked hard on this idea;" said Larry's father, Larry Brinkley Sr. "I don't know how they are getting anything else done." Before the accident Larry Jr. was a 148-pound wrestler on the Central Valley High School Wrestling Team. He was also a golfer and would have gone out for that team. Following the accident, Larry underwent an opera- tion in which two Harrington rods were placed adjacent to his spine to keep his upper body erect. Daily therapy includes close to four hours of weight lifting to build up muscles in the upper portion of hi.s body. He also goes swimming on Fridays. A tutor comes to see him twice a week.

LDL seems to promote the deposit of cholesterol on artery walls, while HDL is thought to carry choles- terol away from the tissues. If LDL is -present in the blood- stream in large quantities, the cholesterol it carries may be re- sponsible for increasing the risk of heart disease. High levels of HDL may help prevent heart dis- ease. Most heart attacks, according to the AHA, actually occur in peo- ple with cholesterol levels be- tween 20 and 240 mg/dl. Accept- able cholesterol levels depend on age; sex; the absenceof other risk factors — smoking, high blood pressure and diabetes; gluclose imbalances; excessive weight or a history of heart dis- ease.
