PRE -TEEN CANCER SURVIVOR FINDS Will Frassinelli, a 12 -year-old brain tumor survivor, knows first hand the benefits of being enrolled in online learning courses. (Submitted photo) Over 10,000 children in Canada are presently receiving cancer care across this country: 4,000 of them are in Ontario, and 1,700 new cases will be diagnosed in Canada this year. The Childhood Cancer Research Association (Childcan) and Virtual Highschool.com (VHS) are pleased to announce their partnership to deliver a new program that provides Online Learning Bursaries for children coping with cancer. Together they hope to offer a solution that enables children to continue their education and helps families to deal with the difficulties associated with cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. With this partnership they hope to enhance the quality of life for children affected with childhood cancer— this means helping to provide education that is available at any time and in any place. With this partnership, VHS and Childcan will be hosting the first annual Run4Kids 5 km run/walk in Bayfield on Sept. 28 to create awareness and lend support to children and families coping with childhood cancer. All funds raised will be donated directly to Childcan to help provide educational support and opportunities. VHS will be covering all costs associated with organizing the race and will donate all course and administrative fees free of charge to children in the Online Learning Bursary Program. The bursaries will cover all teacher fees associated with enrollments through the partnership. Twelve year-old Will Frassinelli is one youngster who knows first hand the benefits afforded by learning through the VHS/Virtual Elementary School (VES). He is a brain tumor survivor. "At VES and VHS, I am just like everybody else. I can go at my own pace and feel good about myself. Everybody there wants me to be successful, and this helps me to believe in myself again. Every kid should be able to feel this way, especially the ones whose lives aren't so easy," said Frassinelli. Ten years ago, after exhibiting a number of symptoms, a CT scan showed that he had a large mass located in his cerebellum. The following morning, an MRI confirmed that Will had a junior pilocytic astrocytoma brain tumor, which was roughly the size of a kiwifruit. A week later, the tumor was completely resected. During his recovery, Will contracted a staph infection in his external ventricular drain, which necessitated his being hospitalized for three months. During that time, Will underwent countless procedures and an additional two major neurosurgeries, including the placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, which was necessary to regulate his cerebrospinal fluid after his ventricles were severely damaged. This VP shunt caused Will some difficulty over time, including debilitating headaches and temporary cognitive impairment. For more than seven years, Will continued to have routine MRIs. In 2011, oncologists discovered a new growth in the tumor bed. Despite the journey that Will continues to travel, he remains positive and demonstrates incredible strength and resilience. The struggle with emotional and physical pain, however, has not been his only battle. Will has missed a lot of school, which has put him behind his peers, academically. Because of the the gallery. The bids will be opened on Sept. 22. Folks are encouraged to drop into the gallery prior to that date and place a bid on this colorful and lively depiction of fun in Clan Gregor Square. The proceeds from the auction will be given to the village Optimist Club. A 'Meet the Artist" reception will be held starting at 1 p.m. on Sept. 7. Unfortunately Mertikas is unable to attend but Hirsz will be in attendance. These exhibits will run from Sept. 5-22. For more information visit www.jmrgallery.com. CALLIGRAPHY COURSE Following a successful round of classes in the winter of this year, Rita Paakkunainen, is once again inviting people to pick up a Calligraphy pen. She is offering a 10- week course starting on Sept. 17. It will be held at the Bayfield Lions' Community Building from 1-3:30 p.m. Paakkunainen, who has more than 20 years experience in the art, notes that the program is very flexible. Each person works at their own speed so the class will accommodate all from beginner to advanced levels. There will be individual attention given to all and there is a lot to learn for both beginners and advanced students. "When the full programming is complete you will know five different scripts," said Paakkunainen. "You will be able to make lovely gifts for family and friends or have fun adding that special touch to cards and crafts." Illuminating and card making is touched on in this course to show how versatile this new craft can be. "It is amazing how creative we can be in a very fun and relaxing atmosphere," she said.
