The Town of Newcastle's Heritage Week '89 festivities commence commence Friday evening, May 26, with opening ceremonies at the Town Hall, Bowman ville. A highlight of the six p.m. opening opening will be the raising of the Heritage Week flag which was designed by Amanda Unwin, a student student of M.J. Hobbs Senior Public School, in Hampton. Her winning entry was chosen from among 28 designs submitted by local students in the Heritage Week *89 flag competition. On Saturday, May 13, 1989, Kinsmen and • Kinettes across Canada along with a few other sponsors held a Radiothon to raise funds and public awareness of Cystic Fibrosis. Radio stations in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto and the East Coast donated air time, manpower and money for this evént. Listeners in our area tuned in to CKFM 99.9 from 12:00 noon until until 6:00 p.m. and heard such celebrities as Toronto Mayor Art Eggleton, Jack Marks, Allan Eagleson and Malcolm Jamal- Warner talk about their associations associations with CF children and the improvement improvement research has" made in their lives'. In the 1960's when Kinsmen first got involved with CF, most victims were dying before their 4th birthday. birthday. They were forced to swallow 100 pills a day to aid their digestion. Today CF people must ingest less than 20 pills a day and the median age is 25! This is still a far cry from normal life span but the quality of their lives has been improved as well. New treatments and medications medications have been developed so that they can be treated effectively at home and only have to enter the hospital when complications such as pneumonia set in. One in every 20 Canadians carry the CF gene, and there is presently no way of determining who is a carrier carrier and who isn't until two carriers have a CF child. Offspring from 2 CF'carriers have a 25 Vo chance of being CF free, a 50% chance of being being a carrier and a 25% chance of dying from CF of it's complications. complications. Among it's complications are pneumonia, heart and lung failure etc. It's not a pretty picture. Many CF victims are on waiting lists for heart and lung transplants. Most of them die while on that list. Many must travel to Britain just to be put on a list because doctors in Canada don't give them enough of a survival chance, and therefore the transplants go to those whom they feel would survive the surgery and live longer because of it. (I suppose it makes sense to everybody except a CF patient and their family.) Làst year's Radiothon raised $80,000 for CF and the goal for this year was $100,000. With generotis donations froth many individuals, corporations îtnd service groups, Orono plans Woods Walk trip The Orono Downtown business group has planned a Orono Woods Walk Park walk for Participaction Day on Wednesday, May 31st.
