Elaine Goggans and Suzy Leech
Exchange club will feature
womanless talent show
By ALAN WILLIS
Staff Writer
Exchange Club President Rick
Johnstone announced that the Club
would sponsor a "womanless
beauty contest" for this years Dog
wood Festival.
Suzy Leech then presented Elaine
Goggans so Perry Hospital and Di
rector of Perry American Cancer
Society who spoke on cancer pre
vention and wellness.
According to Goggans, the most
important message in cancer pre
vention is "take control of your
daily situation." She said that
"most scientist and physicians will
tell you that cancer risk is related to
lifestyle, environment and genet
ics." While you cannot control ge
netics, you can control lifestyle and
environment.
Goggans stressed five areas of life
where a person should take control
to reduce their cancer risk.
"Take control of your diet," said
Goggans. She said that people
"need at least 30 grams of fiber a
day, but most people only get ten
grams." Goggans also stressed
"don't eat a lot of red meat." She
recommended cutting down on salt,
sugars, pastries, candies and
cheeses.
Goggans suggested that when it
comes to cholesterol counts, it is
better to get the more sophisticated
analysis available from physicians.
"There is good cholesterol and there
is bad cholesterol.," she said. It is
important to know which you have
if you are close to the magic num
ber of 200.
Goggans stated that it important
to "drink alcohol in moderation.”
Alcohol consumption, especially in
excess, has been linked to many
forms of cancers, especially cancer
of the liver.
"Control your weight," said;
Goggans. One of the most danger-1
ous aspects of being over-weightj
she said, is when "it keeps you
from being active."
Goggans, as well as her video
tape, placed the most emphases was
to "stop smoking and using to
bacco."
According to Goggans' statistics,
smoking is the leading cause of
lung cancer, accounting for about
83 per cent of that form of cancer.
In addition, smoking accounts fro
about 30 per cent of all cancer.
"There is a smoking cessation
class at the hospital," said Gog
gans. The class acts as a support
group for those people who have
trouble quitting smoking. Goggans
also pointed out that the compound
cancer risk of smoking and drinking
are extremely high.
"The best exercise is walking,"
said Goggans. Getting enough
exercise is essential to wellness,
and walking is a good way to get
that exercise. However, Goggans
stressed "walk fast enough to raise
your heart rate and bum calories.'
While Goggans said it is impor
tant not to over-exert yourself, she
said that getting up to a speed of
about three miles an hour would be
a good goal.
"Control your exposure to the
sun," said Goggans. She noted that
light is good, and she is not sug
gesting closing yourself up inside.
However, if you go outside, she
suggested using nothing less than a
sunscreen with a rating of 15. She
also suggested that tanning booths
and tanning pills were dangerous.
"Skin cancer can show up as
lumps, moles, or dry patches," said
Goggans. If you have any of those
on your skin, she suggested watch
ing them to make sure they do not
grow. Having a simple dry patch is
not cause for panic.
I Two years ago,
she could hardly walk.
Although severe back pain
,0 kept her nearly bedridden
ma&am*/ % after the accident, her chiro-
Wm ' • •••> lfe; ; practic physician was able to
\ diagnose and treat her spinal

mobility.

Skills for success: Ivey
found hers at Georgia Tech
By CAROL WOOLEY
Staff Writer
"You get enough experience in
various fields to find a job in just
about any career field." stated
Jennifer Ivey. With five weeks left
in a one year drafting course, she is
pleased with Middle Georgia Tech.
Because most of the students
seem to be from Warner Robins,
Ivey feels that many Houston
County residents may be unaware
of the educational opportunities of
the technical and vocational school
on Corder Road in Warner Robins.
"If they were aware of it, they
would be going," said Ivey.
Classes consist of students from
17 and up, with many over 40. Fi
nancial aid is available for full lime
students.
Career courses are offered in
many areas, including drafting,
sheet metal, electronics and many
computer courses.
Many students are involved in co
op programs, with both financial
benefits and on the job training.
According to Ivey the courses are
more directly reated to the actual
work in the real world than regular
college course. In her drafting
course she has studied basic En
glish, technical writing, computer
