There is no cure for ESRD. Left untreated, kidney failure will inevitably lead to death within days or weeks. Alarmingly, the number of new kidney patients is growing growing at a rate of 10-15% per year. Statistics indicate that these numbers will continue to rise, leading to dramatic increases in the demand for dialysis. An aging population, increasing incidence of diabetes, diabetes, improved survival rates, decreasing transplant rates and improvements in dialysis technology are all fuelling this demand. Recognizing the increasing increasing need for dialysis, Thé Kidney Foundation actively lobbied the provincial government, government, on behalf of kidney patients, to expand dialysis services. As a result of this work, the former Minister of Health, Jim Wilson, announced in August 1995, the allocation of $25 million to expand dialysis services across Ontario. As of December 1996, 9 of the 15 proposed new facilities were at least partially operational, including a new dialysis unit in Ajax/Pickering. Recently, The Foundation challenged Government cuts to transit funding that forced municipalities to cut back on specialized transit services for the disabled, the frail elderly arid the chronically ill. Transportation to treatment is an ongoing challenge for many dialysis patients across Ontario. Not all dialysis patients need to use these services, services, but for those who do, it is essential. In Metro Toronto, the underfunding of Wheel-Trans threatens to put many dialysis patients at risk. At the beginning beginning of 1996, 454 patients were using Wheel-Trans for trips to dialysis. As a result of new eligibility criteria, put into effect in June, many of these patients were declared ineligible. It is only through the untiring efforts of The Kidney Foundation that dialysis dialysis patients have been given a temporary reprieve. On November 26, 1996, the Toronto Transit Commission approved a recommendation ' that "individuals who receive dialysis treatment and have been denied unrestricted service, service, be granted restricted ser? vice to and from dialysis treatment until June 30, 1997..." "The Foundation strives to improve the quality of life of kidney patients, but they can't do it alone. We need the public's public's help," says Mrs. Pat Smallwood, a Bowmanville resident and March Drive team leader for the past two years. "Individuals diagnosed with kidney failure are our friends, relatives, neighbours and colleagues. These people will require some form of treatment (dialysis or transplantation) transplantation) for the rest of their lives and that is a daunting prospect," continues Mrs. Smallwood. Unlike many other conditions where individuals individuals are treated and then released from the hospital system, having ESRD means an ongoing attachment to a renal program for patients and families. "Kidney disease imposes continuing stresses on patients and their families. They cope with treatment restrictions, financial worries and constraints, strains on spousal and family relationships, relationships, threat of transplant rejection, side effects of drugs and the ongoing threat of mortality on a daily basis. I would like to help the people in my community who are faced with these challenges. They really do help patients deal with the ongoing physical, physical, financial and psychosocial psychosocial consequences of living with kidney disease." "Our March Drive goal for the Bowmanville area is to raise $5,200 and to reach this ambitious goal we depend on the hard work and dedication of a great team of volunteers and the generosity and support support of the public. Please, when a volunteer canvasser approaches you for a donation donation over the month of March, give generously."

"There was cod to be harvested harvested off Newfoundland then" Charlie remembers. Eight years later, the cod stocks were almost depleted and, after working with his father all summer, Charlie had only fifty dollars in his pocket. That was when he decided it Was time to go to Ontario. It wasn't long before Charlie was working steady and spending time in the Newfoundland bars where his musical talent started to flourish. flourish. Soon he was invited to play at the Horseshoe and the Caribou Club with well known artists like Johnny Burke and East Wind, Terry Hynes, Roy Payne and the Harry Hibbs Show. Along about this time, Charlie met and fell in love with Heather. In 1978, they were married and as a family man Charlie had less and less time for the bars, so his musical musical career went on hold for a few years. Robert and Rachel came along to make a complete complete family. In 1989, Charlie and Heather moved to Newcastle, a_ good place to raise children and a bit closer to Newfoundland. Charlie had always been interested in automobiles, a back yard mechanic where his friends and their friends could bring their cars for some ( of Charlie's advice and a Newfoundland story or two. It wasn't a great step then, for Charlie to go into business for himself, himself, so when a garage on King Street in Newcastle became available he took the plunge. With his business business doing well, Charlie began thinking of his love for music and his "down east roots". Soon he started writing songs and playing some concerts and dances with Derek Pilgrim who was also a part owner of a recording recording studio. In 1996, Charlie recorded his first cassette, "Newfoundland, That's What You Mean to Me". One of the songs on this album entitled "Charlie's Auto Body and Repair", combines his love for cars and music. "The tape is doing real well here and in Newfoundland. .1 couldn't have done it without my wife, Heather," said Charlie, "she is my number one fan". A second album is planned for release this Spring. "This one is in celebration of the 500th anniversary of Newfoundland. The whole province is celebrating," Charlie says proudly. proudly. Charlie and his friends, Derek Pilgrim and Roy Payne put on a benefit show recently for a boy' from St. John's who was suffering from brain cancer and had to have an operation in London. They raised enough money from door and donations to bring the boy and his family to Ontario and stay for two months. On March 15th Charlie, Roy Payne and Derek Pilgrim Band will be featured on a "Down East Show and Dance" sponsored by the Lions Club of Newcastle. This will take place in the Newcastle Community Hall, beginning at 9 p.m. A buffet of traditional "down east" food is included in the price of the $20.00 ticket ticket and will be served at the intermission. "The music is Irish-Newfound style," says Charlie, "and should fit right in with St. Patrick's Day." Proceeds from the evening will be donated to the Durham College Expansion Fund. For tickets, call Newcastle Photographic 905-987-3409 or the Newfoundland General Store in Scarborough 416- 282-8959. Charlie is very excited about putting on a show for his home town audience on Sunday, March 15, but this summer he will get a chance to play to audiences in his birth province of Newfoundland. He is booked for a toal of 13 shows with the Deer Lake, a ship out of St.. John's, and will get a chance to play his Newfoundland home town Lance-Aux- Meadows. The Deer Lake will be touring Newfoundland all summer to help celebrate the 500th Anniversary of the province.
