Although the national Terry Fox Run was held on Sunday, September 16, Terrace Bay will not hold their run until October 14. The run will be the first time the event will be held in Terrace Bay, as a result of the efforts of Janet LeClair. "When Betty and Rolly Fox came through they asked me to organize a run in Terrace Bay," said LeClair. . . Betty and Rolly Fox are the parents of Terry Fox. This sum- mer they followed the route taken by Terry, thanking meeting and thanking those who met Terry during his run. They were in the Terrace Bay area in late August. This year is the tenth anniver- sary of Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope for cancer research. In 1980, the one-legged runner attempted to cross Canada, but was forced to end his run east of Thunder Bay. Fox died shortly afterwards due to cancer. Although Janet LeClair did not meet Terry, her son, who was born shortly after Terry's run ended, was named after Terry Fox. Because of the limited time to organize the Terrace Bay run, it was not possible to hold it on the same day as the national run. However, LeClair is still hope- ful that there will be a good turn- out and that she has been promot- ing the event at local schools. LeClair is not setting any goals for the event, which will raise money for cancer research. "If we raise $100, than it's $100 more than we would have raised if we hadn't done it at all," she said. ~ The run will start at Birchwood Terrace and will be about 8 kilometres, although par- ticipants can go longer or shorter, if they want, "For safety we've kept the route on one side of the highway," said LeClair.

"Hit me again"...Crimestoppers Program nets $3000 from big schreiber Klondike Casino Night By Angie Saunders Photo by Angie Saunders The News "All right...Hit me again." If this sounds familiar, you were probably at the casino in Schreiber last Saturday night. Klondike Casino from Thunder Bay was brought in for an enjoyable evening organized by the Rec Committee and Crimestoppers. All money raised went to Crimestoppers. Fifteen Black Jack tables were full almost all night with towns- people who wanted to have a lit- tle fun gambling. Three wheels were also set up at the Rec Centre for people to take a shot at the chance of winning some money. 'Jack the Ripper', also known as Jack Handel was kept in jail for most of the evening. Passersby could throw in a chip or dollar to help bail him out. "I've been in this cage since 6:30," said the Ripper, "and by the looks of things, I'll be here til 1:00." They let Jack out of jail before midnight as he was getting a little tired. The cage is run all over the country to help raise money for Crimestoppers. Many people volunteered their time to be cash handlers, bartenders, help to spin the wheels, and deal 21. "It was fun. I enjoyed it. Mind you I was working and wasn't spending money," joked Rec Director Ron Larivee. Almost $3,000 was made from the Casino Night which went towards Crimestoppers. "The casino's been a big suc- cess," said Patrick Dingwell, head of Crimestoppers for the Schreiber / Terrace Bay area.
