COMMUNITY EVENTS
They’re simple. Boring. And never thought about until
they’re needed. Windshield Wipers! Only when Mary
Anderson became annoyed that New York trolley drivers
were stopping to wipe their windshields by hand, did anyone
do anything about it. By attaching a spring-loaded arm to a
rubber blade, one woman made travel easier and safer. Look
to innovate and pass it on! Visit Pass It On, the Foundation
For A Better Life at PassItOn.com.
Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer. It causes more
cancer deaths than breast, ovarian and prostate cancers
combined. And while there may be moments when you
question your next step, through it all, GO2 is there for you.
For screening, treatment and survivorship support, GO2 is
your go-to. Visit go2.org.
Love going to the library, but just can’t get there anymore?

available at the library. Materials wil be chosen based on
your preferences as stated on the application, and they’ll will

Life is full of balance. But if you are one of the millions of
people affected by dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance, finding
your footing isn’t as easy as it seems. These conditions
disrupt daily life and rob people of their independence. But
there is hope. Visit the Vestibular Disorders Association's
LifeRebalanced.org, or call 800-837-8428.
Did you know that stomach cancer is the fifth most common
cancer, and the third leading cause of cancer deaths
world-wide? There are more than one million people
diagnosed every year with stomach cancer, but most of us
don’t know the symptoms or risks. Early diagnosis is the
most crucial step to stopping this aggressive and devastating
disease. No Stomach For Cancer encourages you to
recognize the symptoms early and seek medical care if they
persist. Learn more about the risks and symptoms of
stomach cancer by visiting NoStomachForCancer.org.
Dog training; wood-working, archery, marksmanship,
farm-to-table cuisine, agriculture -- just when you thought
our local 4-H already has something for all interests, comes
this announcement of a new Gila Monster League. This new
4-H club is for members interested in reptiles or amphibians,
especially if you already own one – but owning a turtle, frog,
snake or other slithery critter is not a requirement. Meetings

members plan to attend the upcoming reptile expo scheduled
for November. For details about this new club contact the
Gila County Cooperative Extension staff at (928) 402-8585

school in Miami, then you’ve seen its resplendent displays

its school days to the current displays on mining, ranching,
minerals, Native American foundations, Ethnic heritage and

longer than you might imagine, or how much space is

view mirror, he probably can’t see you. Keep all that in
mind when you’re behind the wheel, and find out more at

A stroke can happen to anyone at anytime. Even you. And
even if you think you’re young and healthy. And while
stroke is a leading cause of death and permanent brain injury,
it’s treatable when quickly recognized. Immediate treatment

injury. Remember these warning signs: sudden weakness or
numbness; trouble seeing, walking or speaking; and
unexplained sudden, severe headache. Get help as soon as
you see the signs. For more information, visit
