Photo by Allyson Graham Student receives $300 scholarship from Kimberly-Clark Each year, Kimberly-Clark presents a scholarship to an aca- demically qualified, deserving student in the three-year co-op pulp and paper technology pro- gram at the Sault. The program was developed by the College in response to requests by North Shore and northeastern Ontario pulp and paper firms for a tech- nology program geared to its industry. This year Glen Garson was presented with a $300.00 scholar- ship cheque. Glen is a pulp and paper technology student at Sault College and worked this past winter for Kimberly Clark on a variety of environmental and pulp technology projects. 'Pape 3; vocal aces: May 99, 1990 Interesting People! Look around... By Allyson Graham Co-op student Helen Ballard has been a very active resident at Birchwood Terrace for the past six years. Born in 1910 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Helen was the youngest child out of eight other siblings. Helen attended St. Joseph's Academy, a convent in Winnipeg for her high school education. After completing high school, Helen travelled to Minnesota where she studied to be a "LPN" (Licensed Practical Nurse). Helen married, and moved to Oregon with her husband. Helen's five children, with the exception of one daughter who lives in Terrace Bay, twelve grandchildren are now scattered over the United States. A previous resident of the Birchwood Ladies Auxiliary, and now president of the Birchwood Resident's Council, Helen is very productive for her age. Helen is no stranger to people in Terrace Bay and Schreiber, especially readers of the "News". Helen wrote a weekly column for the "News" for five years. When asked why she chose the name "Bits & Bites" for her column, Helen explained that the "Bits" in the column were pieces of infor- mation about the events at THE CANADIAN HEARING SOCIETY 9 PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING. For more information, call us at (416) 964-9595, (TDD) 416-964-0023, or write to us at 271 Spadina Road, Toronto, Ontario M5R 2V3 Birchwood, while the "Bites" were personal grievances of her own and of others in the commu- nity. Helen accomplished many goals through her column. When Helen learnt of problems around Terrace Bay, she would write about them in her column. Within days of publication, the proper people had been informed, and the problems were corrected. Helen stopped writing for the "News" in December, 1989, and her column is missed by many. Helen has received letters and calls from as far away as British Columbia from people inquiring why her column had ended. Helen greatly enjoyed her col- umn, and said, "I would like to thank all the readers for their sup- port." Helen felt that there were two concerns about our community that she could not convey. She felt that something should be done about the senseless littering that citizens do, and she was unhappy, with people who drive their snowmachines in the early hours of the morning, and disrupt the sleep of Birchwood residents. Helen is a cheerful, productive woman who enjoys needlework, reading and music. With sparkling eyes and an impish grin she told me about her interview with a reporter from a Thunder Bay newspaper. When the reporter asked if she consid- ered herself the people's advo- cate, Helen sharply replied, "I would rather consider myself the people's advocate - as long as I'm not the Devil's advocate!" \ There will be a ) Come & Go Shower 4, held in honour of os Kara Lee Besse Sunday May 27, 1990 i) in the Schreiber United | NIchurch, basement, from b 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. i | Everyone Welcome | |{ I |Mid aio bb cbt 624-3126 N de FASHIONS BY MurMADE 2nd ANNUAL SPRING & SUMMER FASHION SHOW Something for Everyone' Sunday May 27, 1990, at 8 p.m. Schreiber, Recreation Centre Wine & Cheese Buffet/Door Prizes } Advance tickets only ($13): Lynne's Hairstyling - Schreiber Imperial Restaurant - Terrace Bay Or call Madge or Muriel at: Hope to see you there. 624-2198 ag ' 4 JOURNEY 40! p THE LAKE SUPERIOR BOARD OF EDUCATION INVITES APPLICATIONS FOR THE POSITION OF PERSONNEL SUPERVISOR This is a new full-time position within the Board.
