Along with eating healthy and regular exercise, your best bet for good colon health is to get a colon cancer screening. Individuals at average risk for colorectal cancer should begin screening at age 45. Individuals at higher risk should speak to their doctor about getting screened sooner. Regular screening can detect and prevent colorectal cancer in its earliest stages, which is when the cancer is most treatable. Should your screening indicate the need for treatment, we offer the latest options, from complex surgical procedures and radiation therapy to clinical trials and precision medicine. The best screening is the one that gets completed, so schedule yours now at rwjbh.org/colonscreening

Ewing Township Historic Preservation Society to present March 12 talk

Local author, educator and historian William “Larry” Kidder will give a talk on the Carlisle Indian School students who came to Ewing Township and lived with families in Ewing in the years 1885-1915.

The talk will examine who the students and Ewing families were and how they both dealt with the situation.

This talk is st to take place on Sunday, March 12 at 2 p.m. at the historic 1750 Benjamin Temple House, 27 Federal City Road. Space is limited so registration is required by sending your name to info@ethps.org

The Carlisle Indian School has become well-known as a dark chapter in the history of white and Indigenous peoples in our county. One of the controversial practices of the school was to send out students for a summer, or a full year, to work on farms for white families as part of the school’s efforts to have the students take on white culture while abandoning that of their indigenous tribe or nation.

“This talk is not an effort to delve into the controversy and either prove or disprove the morality of the Carlisle program, but rather to look at how it played out in Ewing and surrounding areas,” said a news release by the ETHPS.

Kidder is on the advisory board of the ETHPS, and many other regional historical societies and round tables. He has published several history books including: The Revolutionary World of a Free Black Man: Jacob Francis 1754-1836; A People Harassed and Exhausted: Crossroads of the Revolution: Trenton 1774-1783 and Ten Crucial Days: Washington’s Vision for Victory Unfolds
