The ceremony, which took place Sept. 17 at the Terrace Bay Golf Club, recognized 25 years of service by Ruth Mulli- gan of Schreiber, and Nestor Trach of Terrace Bay. Mulligan, who retired last January, taught for-more than 29 years. "I miss the kids and the staff," she said. "But because I still live in the community, I can still keep in contact with everyone." Mulligan, who has three children and five grandchil- dren, was raised in Schreiber. And aside from a five year stint teaching in Thunder Bay, she i has spent her entire teaching career here as well. "I'll probably never leave," she said. "My roots here run very deep." Since her retirement, Mulli- gan-has gone on a Carribean cruise, to Banff, Alta., to visit a daughter, and attended the Canadian Open golf tourna- ment in Ottawa. "That's my big now--golf," she added. For his part, Nestor Trach said he never planned to become a teacher. He took a love temporary teaching job in Port Coldwell that lasted only four months. But that was long enough for him to catch the teaching bug. "There were 25 kids, eight grades, and I had never taught before in my life," he said. "But I it found so interest- ing, so challenging, I just con- tinued on from there." Trach, whose wife is also a teacher, says one of the biggest changes he's noticed during his 25 years of teaching is the increasing number of adults retuming to complete their edu- cation. Trach teaches an entire class of adults at Lake Superior High School. "Many of them are saying 'Gee, I wish I worked this hard when I was in school the first time," Trach said. Many of the adults Trach is teaching now were his students when they were teenagers. "They're having a positive effect on the other students, " he said. "The teenagers see these adults having to come "_.there were 25 kids, eight grades, and | had never taught before in my life."

Mulligan and Trach each received a gold watch, present- ed to them by Joan Nugent, Lake Superior Board Trustee for Terrace Bay. Nugent was herself mentioned for 19 years of service as a trustee. by Darren MacDonald The News A mobile breast screening unit, aimed at detecting breast- cancer in women aged 50-69, is expected to begin touring Northwestern Ontario early this spring. Heather Woodbeck, the pro- gram's administrative co-ordi- nator, was in Terrace Bay last week to promote the unit. "The idea behind the mobile program is to bring the service to the people, instead of having the people come to the ser- vice," she said. "By coming to the commu- nities directly, hopefully more women will use the service." Breast screening unit coming in springtime Funded by the Ministry of Health, the goal is to reduce the number of breast cancer deaths in women aged 50-69 by 40 per cent, saving more than 300 lives in the process. "In the last five years, there} . has been 5,000 cases of AIDS in Canada, compared with 13,000 cases of breast cancer in the last year," Woodbeck said. "And yet breast cancer is not! called an epidemic, and AIDS is. It's very frustrating." While cure rates for other forms of cancer have been increasing, Woodbeck said the cure rate for breast cancer has, not improved. continued on page 2 Remembering Terry Forty-eight runners in Schreiber and Terrace Bay raised more than $3, 000 for can- cer research for the 11th annual Terry Fox Run held Sept. 15.
