Wingham, Ontario, Toe* A44020, 1988
THE TEARY FOX RUN to raise money for cancer research is
ichecluier tfor Sunday, Sept Wingham-Prganizers Dale and
Linda Edgar flank their friend and neighbor, Lloyd "Casey" Case -
more, this year's "Terry's Team" member, consisting of people in
remission from cancer who are participating in the run.
First cm:4pr town .
for Sept.. 18, rain or shine:L.,
Wingham's first-ever . Terry Fox
Run is slated for Sunday, Sept. 18
, and organizers are hoping that a
good number of area residents will
walk, run, bicycle or even
skateboard to raise money for
cancer research.
Dale and Linda Edgar of
Wingham decided to organize this
year's run after seeing a newspaper
advertisement. Mrs. Edgar says
they have gone out on a limb, not
really knowing what to expect in this
first attempt at a Wingham run.
This is the eighth year for the
Terry Fox Run, notes Mrs. Edgar. It
was started for the young cancer
victim who was forced to end his
1980 cross-country run for cancer
research when he fell ill. He died
later that year.
"Each year the Terry Fox Run
keeps alive the hope that one day the
-
Miffing will stop," writes Mrs.
Edgar. "Terry Fox ran to raise
money for cancer research. We run
because Terry Fox ran.
"His spirit, determination and
caring still move thousands of
Canadians and because we've been
touched, we continue his dream —
the dream that one day a cure for
cancer will be found."
Terry Fox Runs have been held in
the surrounding towns of Listowel,
Goderich, Clinton and Kincardine.
Across the country, almost $25
million has been raised for cancer
research through the runs alone.
This year's run has a special
feature — the Terry Fox Team
member. The team member is
someone whose cancer is in
remission and is participating for all
those who would take part, but
cannot for various reasons.
Mrs. Edgar is very pleased that
their ' well-known friend and
neighbor, Lloyd "Casey" Casemore,
is this year's Wingham team
member. She urges anyone wishing
to sponsor Mr. Casemore in the run
to contact him at 357-3582. Corporate
and business contributions also are
more than welcome.
The 16 -kilometre course (six
miles) consists of two five -kilometre
routes around the town.
Refreshments will be provided at
various locations.
Sponsor sheets are available at the
post office, Shopper's Drug Mart
and Kentucky Fried Chicken in
Wingham, says Mrs. Edgar, who
also has 'placed sponsor sheets in
some outlying communities,
including Teeswater and Lucknow.
A donation box also will be set up
the day of the run.
Plans for Wingham's first Terry
Fox Run still ,are in the formative
stages. Anyone wishing more
information is asked to contact the
Edgars at 357-3449.

"We're not switching off. We're
switching over." That is the theme
of the Canadian Broadcasting Cor-
poration's massive media campaign
to inform residents of Southwestern
Ontario of plans to provide them
with full CBC coverage when CKNX-
TV and CFPL London disaffiliate
this Sunday, Sept. 4.
Part of that media campaign in-
cluded a stopover in Wingham last
week to meet with representatives of
the town business association, as
wen as council to give them a full
understanding of the national
network's plans.
Don Goodwin, CBC director for
Ontario and Bert Allen met with
C9.0.4.91144,t . Wednesday, „before
heading to London to meet with
officials there the following day.
Ever since the Canadian Radio
and Television Commission granted
CKNX-TV''s and-CFPlis application
to disaffiliate in Decem rpf 1986,
the _CBC has been makiflgJans,:to

and CFPL viewing ariii are not
deprived of coverage by the national
network.
This has meant constructing six
new transmitters to broadcast
CBLN-TV, Toronto, throughout
Southwestern Ontario. CBLN, a full-
service CBC station, carries all the
programs to which area residents
have been accustomed, said Mr.
Goodwin, such as "The .National",
"The Journal", "Degrassi Junior
Higi1" and "Hockey Night in
Canada". •
COLIsT7TV also broadcastsseverai
additional CBC • -news and
information programs currently not
available to local viewers.
CBLN-TV also will provide CBC's
exclusive coverage of September's

Cable subscribers will pick up the
CBLN-TV signal on Channel 5 or 6,
said Mr. Goodwin, but , those with
antennas must pick it up on the UHF
band on Channel 45, using the "loop"
television antenna attachment on
the back of their sets.
Mr. Goodwin said the CBC has
enjoyed a good relationship with
CKNX and CFPL for over 30 years
and respects their decision to
disaffiliate and become independent
broadcasters.
The CBC provides a unique
service to Canadians, he continued.
It broadcasts radio and television
programs in English, and- French,
sending its signal to northern
Canada and around the world.
The cBC philosophy is, "By
Canadians, For Canadians", said
Mr. Goodwin and for that reason the
corporation has decided to go one
step -further„ providing its viewers
with 95 per cent Canadian
programming over the next several
years.
Some affiliates, such as CKNX
and CFPL, did not see this move as
commercially viable and therefore
decided to become independent, he
explained.
"There is no animosity on the part
of the corporation," said Mr.
Goodwin. "Hut we had to press on
and ensure that people continue to
-receive (CBC) programming."
He went on to say the, CBC will do
everything it can to make. the
transition run as smoothly at
possible for its four million viewers
