SUMMARY: A Cherokee County family is reeling after enduring two devastating disasters within months. First, a fire destroyed a building filled with tools and memorabilia, crippling Shane Laminack’s handyman business. Then, a lightning-struck tree crashed into their longtime home, piercing the bedroom and living room just after his wife had gotten up, narrowly avoiding injury. The uninsured home is now uninhabitable. By day, the family salvages photos and keepsakes, including those of their late daughter. By night, they sleep in a tent or stay with friends. Despite the hardships, community support has offered them hope as they begin to rebuild.

SUMMARY: Skin cancer is rarer but deadlier in people with darker skin due to late detection. Melanoma often appears in less-checked areas like palms, soles, or under nails. Bob Marley’s death from acral lentiginous melanoma highlights the risk. Experts urge full-body skin checks and daily use of SPF 30+, even on dark skin. Finding sunscreens that don’t leave a white cast can be hard, so Consumer Reports tested products on diverse skin tones. Top picks include Black Girl Sunscreen Kids Spray & Play SPF 50 and Supergoop! Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50. Hats and dermatologists knowledgeable in skin of color are also recommended.

Consumer Reports shares critical tips for early detection and steps that could help save lives.
