The health-focused issue led with two potentially life-saving features. “Do You Know the Signs of Appendicitis?” helped readers recognize a medical emergency, and “The A, B, C, D, E's of Skin Cancer” taught the warning signs to watch for as sun season began. Timed to a region that spends its summers outdoors, the skin-cancer piece gave readers a simple, memorable framework for catching a dangerous disease early — the kind of practical health education that can genuinely save a life.
“Developing Strong Reading Skills” gave parents guidance on nurturing literacy in their children, a foundational subject for family-minded readers, while “Boomer Discovers Bubblegum” added a lighter feature and “Dollars & Sense” continued the magazine's practical money guidance.
The recurring departments round out a May number that pairs crucial health awareness with everyday family value. As summer and sun season approach, the issue arms readers with the knowledge to protect themselves and nurture their children — proof again of how much genuine good a community magazine can do.
A Spotlight feature followed Deleann Holt — “Mrs. D” — owner of AcroDance Express, as she packed up five years on Union Street for a new studio: boxes of trophies, framed photos of students past and present, and years of newspaper clippings, plaques and notes to relocate. The move was as much a chance to reminisce over the studio's steady, well-paced growth as to look ahead to the classes still to come.
