“Page 4 — Halton Hills This Week, Saturday, October 24, 1992 — Accord meeting quiet By Wendy Long A quiet and contained audience listened to Halton-Peel MP Garth Turner explain the Charlottetown accord one last time Wednesday at the North Halton Golf Club. Tumer’s first Georgetown meeting, held two weeks ago, met such an overwhelming response that Turner scheduled the additional Wednesday meeting. Some 70 people gathered again in a downstairs room to hear Turner’s summary of the Consensus Report and voice their questions for Monday’s historic referendum. Tumer again outlined the accord’s 10 key points, presenting an elo- quent and well-spoken version of both the Yes side’s argument and the No side’s concerns. During the question period, one man expressed frustration that even if the referendum. doesn’ 't win the popular vote, “Mulroney will shove it through anyway.” Turner denied this, adding Eee “It’s probably one of those pesky newspaper writers who said th: Another man expressed concern ‘shoal aboriginal self-government, Particularly i in relation to natural resources and wildlife management.

Most kids just want to fit in and be normal. It’s hard to carry around an inhaler and look “cool.” It’s even harder to take responsibility for your illness. Two employees of the Lung Association - Halton Region are concerned with meeting teenage asthmatics’ needs and have created an innovative calendar, called the Teenage Street Guide To Asthma 1992-93 Calendar, to address the problem. Tanya Kulnies, program coordi- nator, and Dorothy Coates, associ- ate program co-ordinator of the Halton Lung Association brain- stormed the calendar and brought it to life 15 months later. Kulnies and Coates said it really began when Dr. Roger Haddon, chair of the Respiratory Management Committee and past president of the Halton Lung Association, questioned if there was Saas any support for teenage asthmat They aid that recent statistical graphs showed that the number of preventable deaths from asthma were increasing the most in the teenage age bracket. “There is a need out there. Teenagers do not like to look at children’s literature,” said Coates. Kulnies and Coates said the idea for the calendar hit them out of the blue one day as they pulled out their appointment books to sched- ule a meeting. Once the idea was born, the needed to know what specifically teenage asthmatics needed guid- ance with. A survey of 12 area high schools found 210 asthmatic students ages | 247 G as Tayna Kulnies and Dorothy Coates developed the Teenage Street Guide To Asthma 1992-93 Calendar which is set for distribution across Canad: 13-19 who responded to question- naires and indicated to the Lung Association of where education was needed. “The bottom line is they need more information,” said Kulnies. Kulnies and Coates then set about finding an artist and designer for the project. Frank Bedek, an animation stu- dent at Sheridan, became the artist and Colleen O’Hara, an Ontario College of Art student, became the desi “They bought into our vision,” said Kulnies. “And we’re so glad they did.” Bedek and O’Hara volunteered their time and labor amongst their own hectic schedules. Glaxo Canada Ltd., a pharmaceu- tical company, generously funded the printing of the calendar, and made arrangements for their reps to fly it across Canada, said Kulnies and Coates. Glaxo added a small chart to the calendar for teenagers to record their peak-flow reading and they number of times they puffed from their inhaler. Hi-tech looking artwork has medical and educational advice wound around ae esta purple, gold and teal draw: The calendar rolled ‘off the press August 30, and has received posi- tive feedback from teenagers. “Everyone that worked on this gave so much - not only their talent but their hours,” said Kulnies. “Without them, without people giv- ing we couldn’t have done it.” The Halton Lung Association is also looking at forming a support group for teenage asthmatics.
