Halifax Health Expands Lung Cancer Services in Line with New ACS Guidelines

Halifax Health has broadened its lung cancer diagnostic and treatment services at the Charles L and Miki N Grant Cancer Center for Hope, following the American Cancer Society's updated screening guidelines. These new guidelines have significantly expanded the eligibility for lung cancer screenings, now including individuals aged 50 to 80 with a 20 pack-year smoking history, a change from the previous 55 to 74 age range and 30 pack-year history. This expansion could potentially benefit nearly 5 million additional people. Dr. Steve Miles from Halifax Health highlighted the importance of early detection in lung cancer treatment and the center's dedication to providing accessible screening services.

Steam Power and Speed: Ormond Beach Commemorates a Century of Racing

Over 20 years ago, the City of Ormond Beach and the Motor Racing Heritage Association began commemorating the centennial of the first beach races, pivotal in making the area a racing hub. The first event in 2003 showcased antique race cars, including a replica of the Olds Pirate. The narrator, serving as the race director and car curator, was particularly impressed by the steam-powered cars, leading to a focus on the Stanley Rocket's centennial. With the help of Brent Campbell, they restored a replica of the Stanley Rocket, which had been inactive for over 30 years. The steam centennial event was a significant success, featuring 60 steamers and attracting celebrities like Jay Leno, thanks to the support of individuals like Dr. Fred Costello, the then-mayor.

The following Thanksgiving schedules will be in effect:
