Show Senior & Health Page A8 The Summit County Bee June 29, 2007 Summit County Health Dept. North Summit Ban The Burn Senior Citizens Because the sunburrns you suffer as a child have been linked with a higher risk of skin cancer later in life, keeping kids’ sensitive skin safe from the sun’s rays is critical. With a combination of sunscreens, protective clothing and a little common sense, you can make sure your youngsters have safe fun in the sun: • As much as possible, stay indoors or in the shade during the hottest time of the day (10 a.m.-4 p.m.). • Get children used to being in the sun by gradually increasing the amount of time they spend outdoors over a period of several days. • Make sure outdoor play places have a shaded area. • Put hats or visors on your children. • Apply a sun block with an SPF of at least 30 on all areas of the child’s skin that will be exposed to the sun. Make sure you apply it to ears, the tops of the feet, and the scalp if you don’t have a hat available. • Consider using a sunscreen with ingredients (such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) that physically block the sun’s radiation if your child has sensitive skin. • Reapply sunscreen after kids have been in the water or sweating during active play or sports. • Keep in mind that most clothing has an SPF of just 5-9, so you can still get sun damage with a shirt on. • Sunscreen lotions aren’t recommended for babies under six months old. Always protect babies from the sun. • Purchase good quality kids’ sunglasses that protect against both UVA and UVB rays. • Use sunscreen daily, even if it’s cloudy, since most of the sun’s radiation penetrates clouds and can still cause sunburn. Homespun Traditions Summer Concert Quality family entertainment is hard to find—but young and old can enjoy the crowd pleasers selected by Lance and Carey Stephens to bring to the community local artists that we can all enjoy. The evening of June 25 in Henefer was the final performance by “Stampede”, as well as cowboy poet Don Kennington. First to set the mood, guitar and country western singer, Blaine Blonquist, of Henefer, featured some of his special hits he loves to sing. Stampede performers David Anderson, award winning vocalist and guitar, Steve Taylor, bass and vocals, Terri Taylor, “The Epiglottis Goddess” National Champion Yodeler and guitar player, and their daughter, Jenny, who sang some touching songs about Dad’s Hands, and others—took up the balance of the evening. They kept the audience asking for more—and the group out of the Roy area was certainly a hit— and, hopefully, they will be able to return next year. Cowboy Poetry by the nowfamous Don Kennington, of Ogden, was also a hit with the crowd. Subscribe To The Summit County Bee 336-5501 Families gathered on the lawn at the Henefer City Park with their umbrellas for shade and lawn chairs for comfort. Door prizes were awarded during intermission. Stampede has performed in Oakley, Henefer and Morgan this year, under the invitation of Homespun Traditions Summer Concert Series, a newly-founded venture put together by Lance and Carey Stephens, of Henefer. Their goal is to be able to provide quality family-oriented entertainment for the betterment of the community under the company name of Lone Tree Ventures. For more information they can be found at lonetreeventures.com. by Louise Wallace Tuesday was a busy and a rewarding day for the group from our musical family who went to entertain at the Wentworth Assisted Living Center in Oakley. It turned out that they not only entertained the residents there but one of the residents entertained them as well. They told those of us who weren’t there that one elderly lady played the piano almost as good as Beulah Willoughby did and sure brought back many memories. They knew that Betty Wilde and Irene Wilde was living there but were surprised to see Ron Robinson there, too. Ron has only been there a short while and he seemed to enjoy the program but was really happy to be able to visit with some of his friends. They not only had a good time but had a great time spreading some happiness and came home with the best of feelings and plan on doing this type of programs more often now that the bus is so available for our needs. Another group went in the afternoon to Manti to the Manti Pageant. Carma Burns drove the bus to Kamas where they boarded the big comfortable one. Carma was happy to let Phil Geary drive them back home from Kamas in the wee early Wednesday morning hours. About 3:30 a.m. to be exact. Would you believe it, most of them made it to Seniors that day? They had a good bus and a good driver for the journey and then were given choice seats at the pageant thanks to somebody that Gen Geary knew personally, and the weather was pleasant. Everyone that I talked to was glad they hadn’t missed going. We didn’t have foot care like we had planned because Kathy Mumma, from Happy Feet, had had surgery and didn’t feel that she could drive yet but, if all goes well, she plans to be here this Friday, the 29th. Kathy Wilde will be taking blood pressures for us this week and she used her skills Wednesday and Friday to dress the painful wound on Keith Shaw’s arm. This would probably be considered a small wound by the medical profession but I think Keith knows now, kind of what it feels like to be skinned alive. Kathy cautioned him to keep it clean because infection can set in mighty fast and, once it sets in, it can take a long time to heal and be painful as well. That warning goes for all of us. If you get a scrape, scratch or cut keep it clean. We will be holding board meeting this Friday, and Louise Judd is in charge of July and, for your information, that starts next week. She will get off easy, though, since the Fourth of July falls on Wednesday, we won’t be meeting then. Be careful of fireworks. The county is taking us by bus to Kimball Junction on Thursday, July 5, so we can pick up medications, etc. They plan on doing this on the first Thursday of each month. The bus holds 14, including the driver, so even if you don’t need your prescriptions filled, you may want to go along for the ride. It doesn’t cost any more to haul a full load than it does for a few. Plus, going for only a few wouldn’t quite justify the expense. We need to use the service so we don’t lose it before it gets set in place. Let’s use the Greyhound Bus slogan “Take the bus and leave the driving to us!” If you have been reading the legislature news, you will know that changing the license laws for older drivers is a big issue right now even though statistics show that the most accidents aren’t caused by our age group. However, when an accident occurs and the driver is of the older group, it quite often is a fact that that person should not have been driving at all. Guess, it’s up to the individual to decide when it is time to put away the car keys. Joe asked a good mechanic: “Just what part of an automobile kills the most people?” to which the mechanic replied, “The nut behind the wheel!” Go Classifieds! It Pays! 336-5501 LOVE SPORTS?
