Ovarian Survivors' Delight
In the Dec. 24 issue of the Jewish
News, there was an article about
research to advance blood tests for
disease detection ("Ovarian Cancer:'
page 27). The article was about the
research and development of a diag-
nostic test for the early detection of
ovarian cancer.
As a 10-year ovarian cancer survi-
vor, I was elated to read this article
and to find that the research is being
done right here in our community
at Wayne State University's School
of Medicine. The man heading the
research team is Michael Tainsky,
Ph.D., professor of pathology at the
WSU School of Medicine and director
of molecular biology and genetics at
Karmanos Cancer Institute, both in
Detroit.
I am a member of the Survivors
Teaching Students/Saving Women's
Live program sponsored by the
Ovarian Cancer National Alliance.
Our STS women are all ovarian can-
cer survivors and/or caregivers who
tell their stories to third-year medical
students during their Ob-Gyn rota-
tion, residents, nurses, nursing stu-
dents, nurse practitioners as well as
physician's assistants.
We present our stories to raise
awareness and education of ovar-
ian cancer so that the disease can be
diagnosed at an early stage.
When I saw the article in the JN, I
quickly sent it to our 35-plus women
in the Detroit and Lansing areas and
to the main STS office in Washington,
D.C. You can't imagine the excitement
this generated among our group.
Among the schools and hospitals
we present to, is Wayne State, every
6-8 weeks. When I read your article
about Dr. Tainsky's work, I contacted
someone at Wayne State to invite him
to speak with our STS women on Feb.
2. Much to our delight, he accepted.
He was as anxious to hear our survi-
vor stories as we were to meet him.
It was truly an exciting morning to
hear the work that is being done by
Dr. Tainsky and his team.
Had the Jewish News not written
the story, we would never have been
aware that this research is right here
in our own great city of Detroit.
Thank you for making your readers
aware.

Back Berkley Bonds
We recently read the parshah of
Beshalach ("Being Original," Jan.
28, page 34). The Jewish people are
trapped between the sea and Pharaoh's
army. God tells Moses to lift his staff
above the sea and the Jewish people
are saved.
This parshah reflects the present
situation facing our public schools
today. They are trapped between a sea
of unfunded mandates and an army of
legislators who refuse to provide our
districts with what they need to survive.
The Berkley School District is trying to
help itself through this crisis by placing
a bond proposal on the Feb. 23 ballot.
The Jewish residents of the Berkley
School District need to stand up and
show their support for the Feb. 23
district bond. Berkley Schools started
a partnership with the Holocaust
Memorial Center in Farmington Hills
to truly teach their students tolerance,
and also respect and a commitment to
our community.
The opportunities the current bond
proposal offers are strictly limited to
the Feb. 23 vote. Under the federal pro-
gram called Build America Bonds, the
district estimates to save the taxpayers
$25 million. Further, the cost savings via
reduced construction costs and historic
low interest rates are unprecedented.
The Feb. 23 bond calls for the rebuild-
ing of all elementary schools, a new
consolidated middle school and huge
renovations to the high school. We may
not all have a personal stake in the
schools by having children who attend
them, but we all have a personal stake in
this community. Brand new schools sell
houses, bring value to neighborhoods
and breathe life into communities. We
can only thrive if we do it together.
Vote "yes" on Feb. 23.

Great College Section
I just read your Jewish.edu section
(Feb. 11) and I loved it! I was having
lunch and reading; tears of pride filled
my eyes for our Jewish college stu-
dents, our promising young adults.
I'm certain your readers will enjoy
this new and enlightening section.
You and the Jewish News highlighted
all the good work that Hillel does
engaging and directing our future
Jewish leaders.
My congratulations to you.
