Box 3600, NEW YORK (AP) — The comic Cleveland, TN 37320-3600 or dropping them off at 1505 25th St. book heroine Wonder Woman has been abruptly fired from her hon- orary ambassador job at the United Nations following protests from both inside and outside the world organization that a white, skimpily dressed American prone to violence wasn’t the best role model for girls. Rheal LeBlanc, head of press and external relations, said Tuesday the appointment of Wonder Woman as an Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Women and Girls would end this week, a move that come less than two months after a splashy cere- mony at the U.N., which attracted actresses Lynda Carter, who played Wonder Woman in the 1970s TV series, and Gal Gadot, who has taken on the role in the forthcoming “Wonder Woman” film. Critics said the appointment was tone deaf at a time when real women are fighting against sexual exploitation and abuse, and that Kelly HixsoN Wells took this photo in the spring at Harrison Bay State Park. “I was walking to there were plenty of real heroines raise money for youth to go on a mission trip to Belize.” that could be the face for gender equality.

One of the many things the medical community can say with cer- 423-472-3332 tainty regarding cancer is that treatment is most effective when Bradley Professional Building the cancer is found early.

In fact, the five-year survival rate, which indicates the percentage of people who live at least five years after diag- Accepting New Patients nosis, for those whose melanoma skin cancer is detected early and Most Insurances enough to remove the melanoma is nearly 100 percent. However, if that melanoma has already spread to other parts of the body by the time it’s detected, the five-year survival rate is below 20 percent. While the disparity between survival rates is not as severe for all “Your hearing is our priority” cancers as it is for melanoma skin cancers, early detection is still imperative when it comes to beating cancer. Part of the reason cancer is not always detected early is that it doesn’t always make its presence felt until it has already reached an advanced JeNNiFeR stage.
