As a fourâ€"year veteran of the local United Way, a major conâ€" cern for Carney is the lack of public awareness about what United Way does. As a result, the organization has established its first training committee, to eduâ€" cate volunteers about what Unitâ€" ed Way does, what the member agencies do and how to run an inâ€"plant campaign. Ambitious_ ‘*One of our priorities this year has been to educate the public," said Carney. ‘"We estimate there are approximately 100,000 people employed in Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo. Of that number only about 20,000 contribute to United Way. Comâ€" pared to cities of comparable size across Canada that‘s low. That‘s why improved training is so important." United Way‘s campaign kick Waterloo residents are now legally able to enjoy Canada Day the way millions of other Canadians do each year. By amending their bylaw Monday night, Waterloo City Council has permittedhome owners and tenants to join in on the national celebration and set off fireworks on land appurtenant to their residence. The bylaw change will also allow residents the privilege of purchasing fireworks on Canada Day (July 1) in addition to the six days immediately preceding the country‘s birthday. The amendment came at the suggestion of the Waterloo Regional Police, which received numerous inquiries about Waterloo‘s law this summer. The bylaw prior to Monday only allowed fireworks to be set off on Victoria Day and sold to the public during the six days immediately preceding the May holiday. Waterloo Fire Chief John Staller said he had no problems with the bylaw change and termed both recommendations as "logical.‘"‘ Chronicle Staff The Gift of Wings flight is over. Carl Hiebert has resumed his life in Kitchener; soon his wellâ€"travelled Beaver RX 550 ultralight will be put on permanent display at the National Aviation Museum. P But that doesn‘t mean his work to help those disabled by spinal cord injuries has ended. ‘"‘There are still a lot of other things to be done," said Hiebert Thursday, following a welcome home reception in his honor. Already planned are speaking engagements, the prepâ€" aration of a slide show, and, most importantly, a plea to Ottawa for greater funding of medical research into spinal cord injuries. August 27, 58 days after his departure from Halifax, Hiebert landed his ultralight in Vancouver, bringing to an end his 8,000â€"km, firstâ€"ever crossâ€"Canada flight in an ultraâ€" light. Speaking to the aproximately 100 people who gathered at Speakers‘ Corners in downtown Kitchener, the 38â€"yearâ€"old Hiebert, who was disabled six years ago in a hang gliding accident, called his odyssey an "unqualified success‘"‘ because of the "level of awareness" raised through media coverage. So far the Gift of Wings has only raised $60,000, far from the $1 million target, nevertheless Hiebert isn‘t discouraged. ‘Fundâ€"raising was slow, but we see it as paving the way for future fundâ€"raising efâ€" *‘We had tremendous feedback from the people, from the press.

Waterioo‘s two universities worked together this past Saturday and managed to put together the most successful Shinerama Day ever. A total of $37,916 was raised by the two schools in the name of Cystic Fibrosis, with $25,000 alone coming from Wilfrid Laurier. The total far exceeds the targetted goal of $25,000 and yet to come are gate receipts from the Shinerama Bow! set for next weekend.

Mark Bryson photo And despite a strong message from city hall in past months that its bylaws were to be enforced, Wilfrid Laurier Student Union President Brian Thompson was still questioning how quickly the city would evict students who were not living in compliance with the city‘s ‘"fiveâ€"unrelated persons zoning bylaw."‘ The remainder of the resolutions, broken down into five categories, range from the "broadâ€"sweeping‘"‘ variety to the "more specific and detailed type."‘ And since the problem must continue to be addressed, one of the recommendations called for an onâ€"going committee "to complete any unfinished business and to act as a vehicle for continuing communication between parties affected by the issue of student housing. Under the heading ‘"University Policies", council agreed "that the two Universities adopt as a corporate goal, the provision of student housing and in coâ€"operation with the city of Waterloo take action to increase the provision student housing, either on or off campus."‘ Not only was the recommendation agreed upon to serve as fuel for Carroll and Wright Friday, but it is also a sign of support for an active proposal made by UW for a townâ€"house complex on its north campus. The stamp of approval was issued, on the advice of task force chairman Brian Turnbull, to ease possible ministry concerns that the city doesn‘t want more student housing. Thompson‘s questioning brought a somewhat witty and reassuring response from Ald. John Shortreed. "If you were a female student and so inclined, you could have a baby (in the time it would take to enforce the bylaw)," he said. News of the threeâ€"sided getâ€"together was made public at Monday night‘s meeting of Waterloo City Council as aldermen pondered the 21 recommendations put before them for approval by the city‘s Student Housing Task Force. The findings, which place the Waterloo situation among the province‘s worst, will serve as solid ammunition for Carroll Friday as she and Wright try to scrape what they can from a nearâ€"dry provincial trough. And while the bulk of the recommendations were shuffled off to the city‘s Technical Coâ€"ordinating Committee for further review, one of the proposals was given a stamp of approval without TCC blessing.
