Use Sunsense' when outdoors By Bill McNichol SPECIAL TO THE TIMES -ADVOCATE STRATFORD - With the beautiful weather upon us it's important to remember to use your SunSense when enjoying time outdoors The sun's rays can be harmful because they contain ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV radiation is able to pass through water, cloud, fog, and haze to cause damage to the skin. Both suntans and sunburns are signs of sun damage. Over time, too much UV radiation can seriously damage your skin and eyes. It causes lines, wrinkles, age spots, and it can cause the skin to look leathery. Sun damage also causes skin cancer. Each year, thou- sands of Canadians develop skin cancer due to over-exposure to the sun's rays. Non -melanoma skin cancer, the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Canada, is one of two categories of skin cancers: basal and squamous Brussels Livestock report For the week ending July 9.

Mischief/thefts SOUTH HURON - On July 5 at 11 a.m. the first of five reports were received of mischief or theft in the South Huron area. The first call was about a theft of a green weedeater out of a shed on William Street in Exeter. The theft had occurred sometime in the last two weeks when the shed was last opened. The shed was unlocked during that period of time. It is valued at $150. Next, on July 6 at 10 a.m. OPP were notified of property damage done at the South Huron District High School on Gidley Street. Sometime over the last day someone was at the north end of the school and cracked a 3 -foot by 20 inch reinforced window. Then at 7:30 p.m. a resident of John Street reported someone had entered the rear yard and walked away with a beige hammock and frame again sometime in the last day. The fourth call came in 15 minutes later when a mother called about some- one entering their unlocked house that day and walking out with a Gameboy and three games valued at $300. This inci- dent occurred on St. Lawrence Avenue in South Huron. The last call was received July 7 at 6:30 a.m. when a call was received from a resident of Algonquin Drive in South Huron. Sometime in the last two days someone entered the rear yard of the residence and stole a blue/gray 8'x7' Northern Escape Hexdome tent. If you have information on these cases call the Exeter OPP office or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS). cell cancers. The less common and most serious is known as melanoma skin cancer. Melanoma is on the rise in Canada and scientists think it might be linked to the amount of sun expo- sure experienced in childhood and adolescence. Fortunately most skin cancers can be successfully treated if caught early. Melanoma, however, can be more difficult to treat. To help reduce the risk of cancer the Canadian Cancer Society recom- mends: 1. reducing sun exposure between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.; 2. seeking shade or creating our your own shade; 3. keeping babies under one year old out of direct sunlight; 4. SLIP! SLAP! SLOP! • SLIP on clothing to cover your arms and legs. Wear protective sun- glasses to prevent UV rays from damaging your eyes. • SLAP on a wide -brimmed hat. This protects your face, neck, and ears - something most baseball caps don't do. • SLOP on sunscreen, minimum SPF 15 or higher. Re -apply sun- screen every two hours to ensure maximum effectiveness. And remember, tanning parlours and sunlamps are not safe. It's also a good idea to check your skin regu- larly for any changes. So the next time you're out enjoying the warm summer days, be sure to use your SunSense. To find out more about protecting yourself from the sun's harmful rays, call a Canadian Cancer Society information specialist at 1-888-939- 3333 or visit www.cancer.ca. You can also pick up a copy of our SunSense brochure from your local Society office. - Bill McNichol is the community outreach chairperson for the Canadian Cancer Society's Huron - Perth Unit.
