The World Health Organization reports that roughly 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. By the end of that year, there were nearly eight million women alive who had been diagnosed with the disease in the previous half decade.
Our mothers, our sisters, our partners, our daughters, our friends… More than 2.3 million cases of breast cancer occur each year, making it the most common cancer among adults worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October and all year, we encourage everyone to raise awareness of the importance of breast self-exams and mammograms.
Little Rock, Ark. - October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) BreastCare program coordinates efforts with a statewide network of providers offering no-cost breast and cervical cancer screenings and follow-up services.
Prayers for the bereaved families of Dakota Durbin, Christine Niswonger and Sean Rouse. Lord, at the moment when nothing seems to be able to help the loss felt. When hearts are broken and the spirit mourns, all that is known is that Your grace is with all.
Last Wednesday, a reporter asked Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders why a lectern purchased by her office (and for which Arkansas taxpayers were temporarily on the hook) cost more than $19,000, our governor replied, “There are a number of features.” It’s true that the higher-end Falcon Patriot Lectern does come with a number of features (including a built-in cup holder), but it sells for just a little more than $7,500 - https://www.ampli. com/lecterns-and-pod iums/3046-Falcon-Patriot-Lectern.

Friday night, Oct. 6, we traveled to Mountain View to play the number 1 ranked team in the state and defending state champions. Defensively we hung in early but our offense never got on track as Mountain View proved to be too physical for us up front and quickly shut down our run game. Late in the first quarter Mountain View went up 7-0 and took a 14-0 lead into halftime. Our defense got a stop on the first series of the second half but we could not get going on offense and left them with a short field. After scoring touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters, Mountain View won 28-0. Our Senior High record is 4-3 and we will finish our regular season this Friday, Oct. 13 versus Rosebud at Bobcat Stadium.
