caught the eye of the judges in the Northwest Juried Art Show and was one of eight selected to go on to

the provincial festival.

Verdict delivered

+ They came, they saw and they
selected — — and when it was all
over eight northwestern artists
learned they can now look for-
ward to having their works
displayed at the provincial arts
festival to be held in Victoria/-
Saanich May 23-27.

‘They’? were the jurors in
this year's Northwest Juried Art
Show and their selections show-
ed-a pronounced preference for
works. with a strong nor-
thwestern flavour, Also
noticeable was the fact that only
wall art pieces were selected this
time despite the presence of
several fine free-standing

works,

More than 60 works were
entered this year which Arts
Association executive member
Diana English described as ‘‘on
a par’' with previous years.
Although some previous ex-
hibitors had not entered this
year, she noted the show saw
first appearances by a number
of new artists and
photographers,

Pieces selected by the jurors
were: Killer Whale, by Terrace

Transplants work

_ March is Kidney Month and
in an effort to promote public
awareness of the value of organ
donation, the Kidney Founda-
tion affers the following success
story.

Organ transplantation is now
animportant part of health care
in B.C, Kidney transplants have
been taking place for more than
25 years with a current success
rate of 85 per cent. Last year
there were 130 kidney
transplants in B.C; but there are
still 170 on the waiting list,

One of these success stories is
444 year old Kelsey Kilburn,

. Kelsey was born with
polycystic kidneys, a hereditary
disorder. In December 1988
both of her kidneys were remav-
ed. Amazingly, Kelsey felt bet-
ter without her kidneys, Kelsey
was ‘on: peritoneal dialysis for
eight: months. Six times a day
she. underwent dialysis at home
which was physically and emo-
tionally fatiguing for her and
“her-family.

‘In’ July Kelsey received her
new kidney. The new kidney is a
_ precious gift, but Kelsey will
' always have to be on anti-
‘rejection medication. Kelsey’s
transplant made life easier for

her family, as well as
Kelsey, Listen to what Kelsey's
mother says:

**Kelsey’s illness and
transplant has been an anxious
time for us. Kelsey, fortunately,
was too young to be afraid.”

“The help and support of the -
Kidney Foundation has shown
our family since Kelsey’s birth
44 years ago is wonderful and
much appreciated, It has helped
us cope. Happily, Kelsey is
thriving with her new, kidney
and is as active as any healthy
child.”? .

Kelsey i is a vivacious little girl
who wins everyone’s heart,
Kelsey’s mother remembers: |
“Organ donation was not
something we had given much
thought to, until Kelsey's birth.
Now we understand from per-
sonal experience, many people's
lives depend on organ donation
and transplantation. It’s a pro-
blem that can affect anyone.
She would not have had this op- -
portunity, were it not for the

generous gift of her new kidney,”
from the donor family. [t must.
have been a very hard time for’:

them.”?
Kelsey and other kidney. pa-
tients need your help!
