March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
More than 90 percent of colorectal cancer cases occur in people ages 50 and older. The most effective way to reduce one’s risk is by having regular colorectal cancer screening tests, beginning at age 50. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening people until they reach 75 years old.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), if everyone 50 years old and older were screened regu-larly, as many as 60 percent of deaths from colorectal cancer could be avoided.
Colorectal cancer – cancer of the colon or rectum – is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths and one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the U.S.
Besides age being a risk factor, people who have polyps (growths) inside the colon, people who have a history of col-orectal cancer, smokers, and people who have health conditions, such as Crohn’s Disease, are at risk.
Some studies show that increased physi-cal activity and maintaining a healthy
weight may decrease the risk for colorectal cancer. Evidence is less clear about other ways to prevent the disease.
Currently, there is no consensus on the role of diet in preventing colorectal cancer, but medical experts recommend a diet low in animal fats and high in fruits, vegetables and whole grain products to reduce the risk of other chronic diseases, such as coronary artery disease and diabetes.
Researchers also are examining the role of certain medications and supplements, including aspirin, calcium, vitamin D, and selenium, in preventing colorectal cancer.
If concerned about a family member or loved one who is older than age 50 and putting off getting tested, some tips can help to jumpstart the conversation. Start by saying, “I care about you,” explain the reasons for getting tested and offer support when necessary.
If patients act early, they have a good chance of preventing or finding the cancer when it can be treated more easily. If the doctor does find polyps inside the colon, they can be removed before they become cancer.
Colorectal cancer screening should begin at 50

Retirees bring efficiency to food pantry
By SARAH WILSONA team of retired and
semi-retired volunteers recently brought to a West County food pantry a new inventory management and storage system.
As the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry (HKJFP) in Creve Coeur grew, the demand for its services continued to grow as well. The pantry, which is run by Jewish Family & Children’s Service, enlisted the team of business-savvy volunteers to look into how the warehouse and distribution sys-tems could work even better. The group came up with improvements designed to add efficiencies and professional distribution to the food pantry
Marilyn Kaufman was a leader in the group, which included Robert (Bob) Gold-wasser, Cindy Hyken, Alvin (Al) Siwak, Neil Dunski and Earl Kessler. Each is either retired or semi-retired from owning or holding top-level positions in a major St. Louis company, and the warehousing and distribution of merchandise are opera-tions that come second nature to them.
“We have people here who are able to draw on our previous experiences and make the food pantry better,” Kaufman said. “It was a no-brainer: We need to know where the food is located, how to replenish it, and how to keep it in stock, moving with the same efficiencies expected in the corporate world.”
Working as a team, the committee used its business connections to find shelv-ing materials and had them delivered at no cost to the pantry.
Volunteers (from left) Neil Dunski, Marilyn Kaufman, Earl Kessler, Alvin Siwak and Robert Goldwasser used their business expertise and contacts to bring efficiencies to the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry in Creve Coeur.
