One in nine women will get breast cancer in their lifetime and we must do something to stop this disease, Second said, add- ing there is hope for better survival and remission rates in new drugs and early detec- tion by self-examination.

Hamilton has already signed up for next years Weekend to End Breast Cancer. Acton Angels raise over $34,000 in Weekend to End Breast Cancer To the editor, I was in shock when I drove home from work last Tuesday and saw the handpainted sign on the Beermans lawn re- garding the stolen geese. We have only lived in Rockwood for about one year, but were instantly entranced and de- lighted by the ever changing antics of the geese. Our grandchildren always want to know what the geese are doing and looked forward to seeing the new display when they visited. Whoever took the geese should return them. If not, I would like to start a campaign and donate a new goose to this family. I invite others in the commu- nity to do the same. Lets show the Beermans how much we care. Therese Edwards, Rockwood. Geese were a delight Mike OLeary on Page 23
