1979 - Onaway Cancer Crusaders Raise $1,096.83 Over Two Weeks...and...Onaway's Mile-Relay Team Sets New Boys' Record From Presque Isle County Advance and Onaway Outlook May 16, 2019

  
CAPTION: Onaway Cancer crusaders netted $1,096.83 during a two-week collection drive, 
according to organizer Anita Stockwell.  Almost 50 percent of the money collected by 14
men and women in Onaway was to be used locally and the rest was to the American Cancer
Society for research.  Though short of the $1,500 goal, the money raised was still considered
a major achievement for the people of the Onaway area.  In other Onaway news, Onaway track
and field athletes broke a record in Sault Ste. Marie.  The mile-relay team set a record of
3:40:7, beating the old time of 3:41:6 by .9 seconds.  The team of Mark Dunbar, Steve Waite,
Mike Decker and Scott Stevenson had been among the top placing event teams for Onaway
throughout the season.
