Show HILLTOP TIMES Hilltop 8 TIMES March 21. 2013 Colorectal Cancer Awareness class and open house, today Civilian Health Personnel Services M arch is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and CHPS is celebrating with the Huntsman Cancer Institute. The Colorectal Cancer Awareness Class and Open House will be held today, March 21, 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the Warrior Fitness Center Health and Wellness Center. An open house will be from noon to 3 p.m. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society, which estimates that about 143,000 new cases will be diagnosed by the end of 2013. Colorectal cancer is expected to cause nearly 51,000 deaths in the U.S. this year alone. Early detection has actually decreased the number of colorectal cancer deaths in the United States over the years. Two out of three people diagnosed with colon cancer now survive, and survival chances are even greater if it's caught early. More than 90 percent of Stage 1 colon cancer patients are cured. There can be a sense of embarrassment or fear that can keep people from being screened, but all you need is a little education and motivation to send you in the right direction. Come learn more about colon cancer, the colonoscopy, and how you can be 50 and fearless in the CHPS class. On display, the Prevent Cancer Super Colon, is a 20-foot, walk-through colon with 3D representations of Crohn's disease, colorectal polyps and the different stages of colon cancer.

Brandon Johnson (left) moves toward the flag pole as Master Sgt. Sean Hannah and Senior Airman Aletha Sanford, all with the 75th Security Forces Squadron, slowly raise a new flag at veteran Henry Shaw's home in Layton. Shaw salutes and his wife, Anita, holds the old flag that was retired as other family members watch respectfully. VETERAN From page 7 Shaw and his family thanked the mayor be- fore he left and especially their neighbor, Richard Loomis and his wife, Sheila, for their efforts. Loomis knew one of the 75th SFS personnel from his Masonic Lodge and asked him for help with the ceremony. Anita, his wife, and his two daughters, beamed at the sight of their father's quiet dignified ceremony, and gathered a few grandkids around them for a picture or two. "I was so excited for my dad (about this), especially because I am so proud of him," said his daughter, Rosie Skinner as emotion filled her voice. Shaw joined the U.S. Army Air Corps as a private first class during World War II and retired from the Air Force as a senior master sergeant in 1969, and then worked at Hill Air Force Base. Asked what advice he could give to new Air Force Airmen, Shaw said, "The most important (thing) for a civilian who becomes mixed up with the military (is to remember) you've got to change a lot of your ways. First, you don't get your own way. You do what you're told and it's for the better of the group. You gradually pick it up or they throw you out — one of the two." He was quick to respond to what it was like for his family while he was in the military. "Were they deprived of anything? Hell, no. They had a good life. All I do is follow along, they do all the work," he said as his daughters burst out laughing. Skinner said that as the youngest of the family, she didn't really know what was going on at the time. She just knew that when Dad left, they went shopping. "We never went without. Dad made sure we had everything we needed," she explained. After his service in the Air Force, Henry worked his way up at Hill Air Force Base in a variety of jobs until he reached wage grade three, a couple of times, but then he really found his niche as an equipment manager. "I worked between the IAM and the (parts) belt out in the shop hustling parts, coordinating," he said. He said he didn't have any secrets to reaching 90, something he said he accomplished despite lots of smoking and drinking coffee. But Henry quickly agreed the first habit wasn't something he recommended to his grandchildren.
