The Panhandle-Plains Historical Mu-
seum (PPHM) recently debuted its new-
est exhibit, “Dali’s Wonderland.”
PPHM is excited to welcome this new
exhibition in its Bugbee Gallery.Original-
ly published by Lewis Carrollin 1865,the
dream-like world of ”Alice in Wonder-
land” is a natural match for the surrealist
art movement. Ahundred years later, Sal-
vador Dali, surrealism’s most important
figure, illustrated a version of the story
that incorporated his iconic melting
clocks and other avant-garde imagery.
Featuring a limited edition copy of the
book from the personal library of SybilB.
Harrington, it was a gift from her daugh-
ter Sally.This book came into Panhandle-
Plains Historical Museum Collection in
2022 through the help of the Harrington
House and Jessica Mallard at WT. “Dali’s
Wonderland” explores the relationship
between art and literature.
Located on the campus of West Tex-
as A&M University, PPHM offers visi-
tors a chance to step into Texas Pan-
handle history with special exhibits, a
permanent collection, special events
and more. For more information about
PPHM, visit www.panhandleplains.org

Colorectal Cancer Screening Program Partnering with Kendra Scott
March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
Get F.I.T to Stay Fit, a colorectal cancer screening program at Texas Tech Physicians Surgery, the clinical practice of Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) in Amarillo, will benefit from a Kendra Scott shopping event.
Kendra Scott, located in Westgate Mall, will host a shopping event on Friday, March 1 from 3 to 5 p.m. Get F.I.T to Stay Fit will receive 20% of the proceeds. Shoppers can also shop online at www.kendrascott.com on March 1 and 2 with code: GIVEBACK-GBQEJ.
The Get F.I.T to Stay Fit program uses a free, at-home testing method called Fecal Immunochemical Test (F.I.T) for colorectal cancer screening. The program is grant-funded through the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) and serves the top 32 counties of the Texas Panhandle
Colorectal cancer impacts both men and women. Almost all colorectal cancers begin as precancerous polyps in the colon. These polyps can exist for years before invasive cancer develops. Colorectal polyps and colorectal cancer do not always cause symptoms, especially at first. That is why getting screened regularly for colorectal cancer is so important. Screening can find the precancerous polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer or early in their development, when treatment works best.
The CDC recommends that adults age 45 to 75 be screened for colorectal cancer. People at an increased risk of getting colorectal cancer should talk to their doctor about when to begin screening, which test is right for them and how often to get tested.
Symptoms may include a change in bowel habits, blood in or on stool, diarrhea, constipation, or feeling that the bowel does not empty all the way, abdominal pain, aches, or cramps that don’t go away, and losing weight.
The risk of getting colorectal cancer increases as people age. Most cases occur in people who are 50 years old or older. Other risk factors include having inflammatory bowel
disease, a personal or family history of colorectal cancer or colorectal polyp or a genetic syndrome. Lifestyle factors that may contribute to an increased risk of colorectal cancer include obesity, alcohol consumption, tobacco use, a lack of regular physical activity, a diet low in fruits and vegetables, a low-fiber and high-fat diet, or a diet high in processed meats.
