During the 1960’s and 70’s, little was known about Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), and Melanoma, three different types of skin cancer.  

As a result, sun worshippers took little precaution from exposure to ultraviolet light and now, many years later, are experiencing its damaging effects.

Seminole physician Dr.Timothy Gloyd said that there has been a rise in the number of carcinoma cases he has seen and many of the patients are those in their 60s, often farmers, who continue to work outdoors without protection from the sun.

Woman in the Mirror -- How Do You Handle Aging?

When I first started wearing flip flops this summer, I noticed that the heels of my feet had become drastically dry and were cracking.  Some people said it was from the lack of moisture in the air here which made perfect sense to me.

With news of the recent deaths, by their own hands, of former fashion designer Kate Spade and TV personality Anthony Bourdain, suicide returned to the public consciousness, at least for awhile.

The big red-brick home that sits at 503 NW 3rd street has long been known as the Dan Cobb House because it was built by Dan Cobb in 1906, the same Dan Cobb who built the first Gaines County Courthouse that year and many other homes and buildings in the next years in and around Gaines County, including the second courthouse which lies beneath the limestone facade of our modern courthouse. The lumber for these buildings was freighted from Stanton.

The home of Seminole residents Mike and Terry Elder has been named as the Seminole’s Garden Club’s most recent Yard of the Week. Located at 211 NW Avenue I, the Elder’s home was originally a beauty shop on 11th Street but was moved to its newest location by the local couple.

The Elder’s manicured front yard is only a year old and was “just a lot of dirt” when they first moved onto the property. Mike and Terry both selected the plants, Terry planted them in pots, and Mike’s job is to water, fertilize, and remove the dead heads from old blooms.

Young 'Recruits' Complete Junior Police Academy

Article Image Alt Text

was never cheerleader material. I am extremely uncoordinated and gymnastics was not my forte. I was a booster in junior high school, but all I had to do was wave my hands, repeat whatever the captain said, and wear cute two-toned saddle oxfords. I was a much better Girl Scout. Sports wasn’t my cup of tea either, but telling scary stories around a campfi re, walking in the woods with a group of silly girls, and making crafts was right up my alley. Even though I did not realize it at the time, it was often more than just hanging with my peers and roasting marshmallows.
