Tommy Druen: The importance of hope Previous Column: Unique Contributions By Tommy Druen In May of 1992, I graduated 8th grade. That summer I, as I can only assume everyone else my age, became fixated on the televised national conventions of both the Democrats and Republicans. Although neither offered any real intrigue as previous years, my 14-year-old self was fascinated by the speeches, as well as the pomp and circumstance. While the Democrats' convention that would ultimately nominate Bill Clinton for President happened 32 years ago, I can still remember some of it vividly. Two things stand apart in my memory. The first is that Governor Mario Cuomo, easily one of the best orators of my lifetime, gave a fantastic speech. The second is that there was an outstanding biographical video regarding Clinton called "The Man From Hope." Looking back, the 1992 election was fascinating in many ways and, I believe that video played a crucial role in Clinton's victory a few months later. While it might have been sheer coincidence that Bill Clinton was born in a town named Hope, his advisors deserve credit for emphasizing that point. For hope, I would argue, is perhaps the most integral of human emotions. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2024-03-04 13:14:16 | Comments | Printable version
Colorectal cancer screening saves lives From Jeff Neagle, Communications Specialist Lake Cumberland District Health Department Colorectal cancer is a disease in which cells in the colon or rectum grow out of control. It is more commonly known as colon cancer. According to a recent report from the American Cancer Society, it is now the number one cancer killer among men under 50 and number 2 for women under 50, just behind breast cancer. Occasionally, abnormal growths called polyps form in the colon or rectum. Over time, some polyps may turn into cancer. Screening tests can find polyps so they can be removed before turning into cancer. Screening also helps find colorectal cancer at an early stage, when treatment often leads to a cure. Regular screening, beginning at age 45, is the key to preventing colorectal cancer and finding it early. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that adults aged 45 to 75 be screened for colorectal cancer. The Task Force recommends that adults aged 76 to 85 talk to their doctor about screening.
