Protecting Your Skin From the Sun [1]
Listen to the Cancer.Net Podcast: Protecting Your Skin From the Sun [3], adapted from this feature
The arrival of warmer weather usually means spending more time outdoors in the sun. However, no matter what time of year it is, it is important to protect your skin from the harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation found in sunlight. Exposure to UV radiation is the number-one cause of skin cancer, which is the most common type of cancer diagnosed in the United States. Fortunately, most types of skin cancer can be prevented or successfully treated if they are found early.
UV radiation and skin cancer
There are two types of UV radiation: ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB). UVB radiation causes sunburn and plays a role in the development of basal and squamous cell skin cancers and melanoma. UVA radiation penetrates the skin more deeply and contributes to premature aging of the skin and wrinkling. Doctors and researchers suspect that UVA also plays a role in the development of skin cancer, but it has not been proven yet.
People who live in areas with bright sunlight year-round or at high altitudes have a higher risk of developing skin cancer, as do those who spend a lot of time outside during the midday hours or in a tanning bed (which emits mostly UVA radiation).
People with fair skin, which has less pigment (melanin), have less protection against UV radiation. As a result, people with light hair and light-colored eyes who have skin that tans poorly or freckles, or people who burn easily, are more likely to develop skin cancer.
Sun protection tips
Because most skin cancer is caused by excessive and unprotected exposure to UV radiation, here are a few simple steps you can take to help protect you and your family:
- Use sunscreen every day, even if it's cloudy. You should choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB radiation, is water resistant, and has a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher. Other types of sunscreen may help prevent sunburn, but they will not protect against developing skin cancer.
- Apply a generous amount of sunscreen (at least one ounce, enough to fill a shot glass) 15 to 30 minutes before going outdoors. Remember to reapply it every two hours or more often (every hour) if you are swimming or sweating. Also apply a lip balm or lipstick that contains sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
- Sunscreen creams are better for dry skin, and gels are better for the scalp or hairy areas. If possible, avoid using sunscreen sprays. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has concerns that not enough sunscreen makes it onto the skin and that the spray may be inhaled into the lungs. However, always remember that preventing sunburns and skin cancer is the most important priority.
- Sunscreen should be worn year round whenever you are outside. Do not use sunscreens if they have expired.
- Be careful around water, snow, or sand. These surfaces reflect the damaging rays of the sun, which can increase the chance of sunburn.
- Keep babies younger than 6 months old completely covered and in the shade. It is very important to protect young children from the sun because getting a bad sunburn during childhood increases a person's risk of developing skin cancer as an adult.
- Limit sun exposure between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, when the sun's rays are the most intense. Practice the shadow rule: if your shadow is shorter than you, the sun's rays are at their strongest, and you should find shade.
- Protect your skin with a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and a hat that shades the face, neck, and ears. Dark clothing with tightly woven fabric blocks more sun than white or loosely woven fabrics. For additional protection, look for clothing made with special sun-protective materials.
- Wear sunglasses with 99% to 100% UV absorption to provide optimal protection for the eyes and the surrounding skin.
- Pay attention to the UV index, which is often included in the weather report. This index is a relative measure of how damaging exposure to the sun will be on any particular day. The index is a scale of 1 to 10+. When the index is 10 or higher, people should stay indoors, if possible.
- Be even more cautious if you are taking medications that may make you more sensitive to the sun, such as specific types of antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, antifungals, blood pressure medications, and chemotherapies.
- Try not to rely on the sun to get your vitamin D. You can get enough vitamin D safely through a healthy diet that may include vitamin supplements.
- Avoid tanning beds or sunlamps.
Early detection
Examining your skin regularly may help find skin cancer early, when there is the greatest chance it can be successfully treated. Perform an examination in front of a full-length mirror in a brightly lit room. It helps to have another person check the scalp and back of the neck.
With melanoma, the first sign is often a change in the size, shape, or color of an existing mole. It also may appear as a new or abnormal-looking mole. Most moles are not cancerous, but if you notice a mole that is changing, have it checked by a dermatologist (a doctor who specializes in diseases and conditions of the skin).
The "ABCDE" rule can help you remember these skin cancer warning signs:
Asymmetry: The shape of one half of the mole does not match the other.
Border: The edges are ragged, notched, or blurred.
Color: The color is often uneven with shades of black, brown, and tan. You may also see areas of white, gray, red, or blue.
Diameter: The diameter is usually larger than six millimeters (mm) (the size of a pencil eraser) or has grown in size.
Evolving: The mole has been changing in size, shape, color, appearance, or growing in an area of previously normal skin. Also, when melanoma develops in an existing mole, the texture of the mole may change and become hard, lumpy, or scaly. Although the skin may feel different and may itch, ooze, or bleed, melanoma usually does not cause pain.
Additionally, people at high risk for skin cancer should have their skin examined once a year by a dermatologist.

- How Bad Are California Courthouses? Statewide Video Tour Including Porterville
- Superior Court of Tulare County
Current Status
This project, the new Porterville Courthouse, will become the South Justice Center of the county and will serve both limited and unlimited jurisdiction cases. In order to consolidate other court functions into the two regional justice centers, the court will divide the functions at the Tulare-Pixley and Dinuba locations into the North and South Justice Centers. Because of limited expansion options at the existing Porterville Government Center location, the new facility will be located on an independent site.
In August 2009, the City of Porterville agreed to sell to the state its 7.4-acre property at 300 East Olive Avenue, formerly the site of the Porterville Fairgrounds and Municipal Ballpark, for the new courthouse. In September 2009, the AOC received approval from the state Public Works Board for this acquisition. The real estate transaction closed escrow in December 2009. The City plans to relocate the fairgrounds to a location near the airport.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Compliance
The AOC is the lead agency for preparation of an environmental report to comply with CEQA.
June 4, 2009, to July 3, 2009: Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration circulated. The draft study evaluated the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project and recommended mitigation measures.
June 25, 2009: Public meeting held.
In response to public comments, the AOC completed a Final Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (3.2 MB).
On August 4, 2009, the AOC filed a Notice of Determination, thereby completing the CEQA process.
Architecture/Engineering Firm
CO Architects
Construction Manager at Risk
Due to significant projected population growth in the Porterville area over the next 20 years, the Superior Court of Tulare County has envisioned the need to create two main service regions: a North Justice Center in Visalia and a South Justice Center based in Porterville. The new nine-courtroom, three-story courthouse with a basement level will consolidate current court operations now located in the Porterville Government Center and the Tulare-Pixley Court Building, which is slated to close on September 1, 2012. The new courthouse will replace facilities that are overcrowded, have numerous physical and functional inefficiencies, and suffer from safety and security issues.
What is the plan for the new courthouse?
This project will serve the county's growing need for court services, provide space for necessary expansion, enhance security, and consolidate court operations, enabling the court to greatly improve access and services for the southern half of the county.
The new nine-courtroom, 96,000 square-foot courthouse will be located in downtown Porterville at 300 East Olive Avenue. This is the former site of the Porterville Fairgrounds and the Municipal Ballpark. The City of Porterville sold the state several smaller properties totaling 8.1 acres with plans to relocate the fairgrounds to a site near the airport.
Was renovation considered before the plan to build a new courthouse was decided on?
Constructed in 1959 and expanded in 1974, the Porterville Government Center is a two-story masonry building with limited growth potential. The three-courtroom courthouse is far too small to meet the needs of the county's growing population. Also, the Government Center and the soon-to-close Tulare-Pixley Court Building have numerous functional and efficiency problems which include:
Who is the AOC, and why are they managing this project? What is the Judicial Council?
The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) is the staff arm of the Judicial Council of California. The Judicial Council is the policymaking body for the California court system, including the trial courts, known as "Superior Courts," based in each county. Among other responsibilities, the AOC is responsible for planning, acquisition, design, renovation and construction of court facilities. The new courthouse will be owned by the judicial branch.
More information:
How has the local community had input regarding the courthouse project?
During the site selection and acquisition phase, local members of the Project Advisory Group (including members of the Tulare Superior Court, local government representatives and other justice partners) viewed and ranked prospective sites based on standard criteria. In addition, the California Environmental Quality Act process enabled the public to review and comment on the environmental report before it was finalized. Community meetings were also held about the archeological study that was done on the site.Court leaders also previewed the courthouse's design at City Council meetings.
What will happen to the current courthouse when the new courthouse is completed?
As the new South County Justice Center nears completion in the fall of 2013, the Judicial Council and the County will work together to explore options for use of the space that the court will be vacating in the current courthouse. More information.

Who is the construction manager at risk on the project?
In business since 1890, Sundt Construction, Inc. is 100 percent employee-owned and operated. It also has one of the most extensive employee training and development programs in the construction industry. The company has completed numerous educational, commercial, and civic construction projects, including courthouses in Mammoth Lakes, Kings County, and the Richard E. Arnason Justice Center in Pittsburg. Sundt has won numerous awards for its work in the public sector including the National Design-Build Excellence Award for Educational Facilities.
How was the contractor selected?
The AOC uses the construction manager at risk (CMAR) method for delivery of major capital projects such as the new Tulare courthouse. The competitive selection process factors in qualitative criteria, such as the firm's experience, as well as the contractor's fee. The CMAR was retained early in the project for preconstruction services. Following a competitive bid for all subcontracts and the approval to award, the CMAR became the general contractor for the project. For this competitive selection, the AOC received 12 submissions and conducted interviews with 6 short-listed firms, from which Sundt was selected.
What are the key milestones in building the courthouse?
When will the courthouse be completed and operational?
Construction began in February 2012; the courthouse is scheduled for completion in early fall 2013.
What are the AOC's policies with regard to local hiring and purchasing during design and construction? How did members of the public find out about those opportunities?
Once the AOC selected the construction manager at risk, that company became the general contractor on the project. Prior to the project going into construction, the contractor conducted an outreach to local subcontractors, ensuring that qualified local firms were fully aware of the bidding opportunity, process, and timeline. All qualified subcontractors, lower-tier subcontractors, and suppliers were considered.
What is the location of the new courthouse?
The new South Justice Center courthouse will be located at 300 East Olive Avenue on approximately seven acres, formerly the site of the Porterville Fairgrounds and Municipal Ballpark.
What was the process used to select the site?
The AOC worked closely with the Superior Court and with a Tulare County Courthouse Project Advisory Group that included judges, court staff and community representatives. The AOC followed a standard site selection policy and process. The process involved objectively evaluating potential sites and selecting at least two sites that met agreed-upon criteria for the proposed new courthouse in providing access to justice for this portion of Tulare County, within the confines of the project's budget and schedule. The presiding judge signed off on a preferred and alternate site, and the site selection was approved by the Administrative Director of the Courts (who heads the AOC) and the State Public Works Board.
The Project Advisory Group for the Tulare County Courthouse included:
Why does the AOC decide where the new court is built? Why isn't this a county decision?
Historically, trial courts functioned largely as County departments, but that changed in 2002, with passage of the Trial Court Facilities Act. This law made the State of California responsible for court facilities statewide, rather than the counties. The law gave the Judicial Council responsibility for facilities owned or occupied by the courts and made the AOC responsible for operations, maintenance, and repairs, as well as site acquisition, planning, design, and construction of capital projects that replace or renovate courthouses. The AOC works closely with each affected Superior Court and justice agency stakeholders throughout the process of replacing or renovating courthouses. By Rules of Court, the AOC involves the public primarily through the Project Advisory Group, although depending on the needs of the project, the AOC also seeks direct public input at various stages. County officials were closely involved in the siting process.
There were reports that archaeological artifacts or human remains might have been buried on the site of the new courthouse. What steps did the AOC take to safeguard any cultural resources?
After the CEQA report but before the start of any construction, the AOC conducted an archaeological survey of the courthouse site. After consulting with the Native American Heritage Commission in 2011, the AOC engaged a professional archaeology firm, which conducted a four-day investigation, testing at 37 different locations across the site. No human remains or culturally significant findings were discovered. A community meeting was held about the findings and the report was presented to the public for comment.
What environmental review was conducted on the site before it was developed
The AOC is the lead agency for environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In April 2009, the AOC issued a final mitigated negative declaration for the project. The mitigated negative declaration evaluates the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project and recommends mitigation measures. Some of the mitigation measures applied during construction include watering disturbed earth to severely limit dust emissions, establishing protection zones around endangered wildlife and vegetation, and protecting the areas archaeological past, should the need arise.
Will the new building be energy efficient?
Yes. The building has been designed with attention to sustainability. Energy-efficiency features include a solar panel array on the roof and a system to store ice at night, taking advantage of off-peak power to minimize energy use in the building's air-conditioning system. The building's sustainability features will qualify it to receive LEED Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
How is the new courthouse being funded?
The courthouse is being funded without impact to the state's General Fund. The funds come from statewide increases in court user fees, authorized by the Trial Court Facilities Act of 2002. This bill approved the issuance of lease-revenue bonds to fund this project, to be repaid by court fees, penalties, and assessments. Bonds were sold for this project in fall 2011.
How did the state arrive at its budget for the project?
The AOC develops each project budget by first determining the building size, site size, and number of parking spaces. Then it provides this information to a professional cost estimating firm that creates a hard construction cost for the building and site work. To this, the AOC adds all project soft costs, which includes all costs associated with evaluating, selecting, and acquiring a site, analysis required to comply with CEQA, the fee for the architecture and engineering team, geotechnical testing, project management and construction management fees, commissioning fees, and the cost of furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
How can the state afford a new courthouse at all, given current state finances?
The Porterville, Tulare County courthouse was authorized under the Trial Court Facilities Act of 2002, which transferred responsibility for court facilities—their repair, renovation and construction—from counties to the state. To fund desperately needed renovations and repairs, penalty assessments and parking offense penalties were increased, and civil filing fee surcharges were created. This ensured a revenue stream to finance courthouse construction and renovations, promising these projects would be paid for from within the court system rather than drawing on the state's General Fund or local taxes. The state sold bonds for this project in November 2011. Once the courthouse is completed and occupied, the same revenue stream will repay those bonds over 35 years. This means that funds from other court jurisdictions will support Tulare County's critical needs in years to come.
What is the impact of the state's current budget crisis on this project?
The recent cost-cutting initiatives on statewide court construction, including reassessment of 13 projects and budget trimming on 24 other projects, will not affect construction already underway on the new Tulare County courthouse.
Who is the architect on the project?
Founded in 1986, CO Architects is now one of the largest firms in Los Angeles. The firm has broad experience in the civic, academic, science and technology, and healthcare sectors. CO Architects is also the architect on the Southeast Los Angeles Courthouse. The firm brings extensive experience in sustainable design to the project. CO Architects was recently ranked ninth as a Top Green Design Firm by California Construction.
How was the architect selected?
The AOC uses a competitive selection process, factoring in qualitative criteria, such as the firm's experience, as well as its fee. The architectural company is retained early in the project to begin preliminary drawings.
What are the key milestones in designing the courthouse?
Where can I see renderings of the new courthouse?
Renderings are posted on the project web page under the GALLERY tab.
Will the new courthouse be energy efficient and sustainably designed?
All courthouse projects are designed to receive the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. This is a national standard for sustainable design. Energy efficiency is among its key criteria.

KidsPeace Schools in
Orefield, PA, are offering a new weekly class to students in residential
treatment – Character Education. Teacher Michael Brady has been passionate
about introducing this concept for six years and wrote his Master's Thesis on
the subject. "It is experiential education that focuses on building positive
relationships and setting the students up to be successful," Michael explains.
Having been a teacher for 12 years, Michael realized that students needed more
than content that is assessed at the end of the year to determine if the class
was successful.
The students begin by
sharing information about themselves with the class and developing a values
agreement that they all sign to indicate their acceptance. The kids then use
their own words to describe the elements of their learning environment
including cooperation, trust, problem-solving, working together in safety,
positive communications, discussing emotions and reacting to and accepting
student feedback.
Michael has the students
suggest projects that they could work on together such as student newsletters,
after school programs, incentives similar to those offered in the residential
houses, on-campus jobs, creating a music studio, working in a garden or working
with animals. He visits each class only once a week, but his goal is to empower
the students to feel comfortable with trying new things as a group.
Naming the idea after the
program outlined in his thesis, Michael is hoping that the Epiphany Project
will become a marketable product that can be introduced in schools and agencies
around the Lehigh Valley and the nation. Michael envisions marketing the
program to local schools and agencies as workshops for kids or a series of
programs throughout the year, but that will be in the future.
Right now, Michael spends
an hour a week in each classroom, but that time will increase as the students
become more involved in the program. It is very rewarding to Michael that the
students are actively participating in the classes, especially when considering
that these kids are all in residential treatment at KidsPeace because of
emotional, behavioral or mental health issues. Furthermore, the composition of
the classes changes as children move through their treatment steps and change
levels of care as they progress. Students who come from the Diagnostic Program
are only at KidsPeace short term, so class members turnover often.
Michael uses a number of
resources in the classes including books full of activities and quote books. He
often starts class with a fun activity and then introduces a quote or writing
prompt to get students thinking and talking. They are all journaling as well,
learning to put their feelings on paper. The students have all created cover pages
that contain their hopes, dreams, fears, self-portraits and things that are
important to them.
"All in all, the kids are
doing real well with this project, and I believe that character education will
benefit them all while here at KidsPeace and later in life." This program is
another example of how the KidsPeace Transformation is leading to innovation
and interesting programs to help our kids learn and grow and heal.

Ralph G. Stoddard, 81, passed away at the Berlin Health and Rehabilitation Center on Thursday, April 4, 2013. Born in Brooklyn, NY, on May 14, 1931, he was the son of the late Ralph E. and G. Alice (Conley) Stoddard. On July 26, 1954, Ralph married the former Anne Dermer in Plymouth, MA.
Ralph was a 1949 graduate of Rockland (MA) High School and continued his education at Brown University where he was a philosophy major and a member of the Air Force ROTC. Following his graduation from Brown in 1953, he continued post-graduate work there. In June 1955, he received his commission, thereafter serving in the U.S. Air Force until 1959 as a navigator on an air rescue seaplane, the SA16 (Albatross).
Making his home with Anne in Manhasset, Long Island, NY, Ralph began his career with Remington Rand Univac in data processing. He accepted a position as a programmer with Young and Rubicam Advertising, working his way up to systems manager and designer. Later, he was employed by the New York State Insurance Fund in data processing. He retired in 1994 and followed his dream to come to the Mad River Valley, settling in Waitsfield where he and Anne have made their home since.
Ralph enjoyed an eclectic range of interests and activities. As a young man he enjoyed tennis and running and at all times loved a varied scope of music that included classical, ethnic, folk and rock. He was also an accomplished artist specializing in large portraits and collages. Ever the handyman, he found great pleasure in home remodeling, was an avid reader of nonfiction and a devoted fan of Brown football. Since living in The Valley he was a member of Waitsfield United Church of Christ.
Ralph is survived by his wife of 58 years, Anne Stoddard of Waitsfield; their children, Paul Stoddard of De Kalb, IL; Elinor Stoddard and her children, Emily and Benjamin, of Stratford, CT; and James Stoddard and his wife, Sinta, and their children, Julia and Claire, of Harvard, MA; as well as nieces, nephews and extended family.
A service celebrating the life of Ralph Stoddard will be held from Waitsfield United Church of Christ in Waitsfield on Tuesday, April 9, 2013, at 11 a.m. with a reception to follow in the church dining room. Later burial will take place in the Waitsfield Common Cemetery. Assisting the family is the Perkins-Parker Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Waterbury.

One can't place a price on a heart, but the staff of Lone Hickory Arena in Yadkinville can say that it played a part in helping Deep Gap resident Heather Greene find a little peace during the holiday season.
Lenuel and Sandy Chamberlain, owners of Lone Hickory Arena, worked with arena regulars and the community to raise money for Greene who received a heart transplant in February 2012 and is now facing an ever growing mountain of medical bills.
"I worked with Lowe's companies with corporate events before I retired, and she worked in the travel department. So I just knew her relative to our departments working together," Sandy Chamberlain said.
When Chamberlain's first husband was diagnosed with cancer and she needed to be closer to home, she ended up taking a management position in the travel department with Greene. The two began to develop a closer relationship.
"I had been in the travel department about a year, and my husband was recovering from cancer when he died of a sudden heart attack," Chamberlain said. "It was just one of those things where you understand what someone else is going through, and Heather was so completely there for me."
Greene had a special compassion for Chamberlain because she too had been dealing with a heart condition she was diagnosed with in 2004. She was misdiagnosed with asthma for some time before her conditioned worsened to the point of an emergency room visit.
She was admitted into the hospital and two days later she went into cardiac arrest and had to be shocked. Doctors told her then that she would have to have a heart transplant within the next 10 to 15 years.
Chamberlain said that she didn't know the extent of Greene's illness to begin with because Greene made such a point to put on a brave front and never complain.
"There were days that I knew that she could hardly go, and she would be sitting there with her makeup perfect, smile on her face, and the average person never knew what was going on with her," Chamberlain said. "There was a real drive in her life to do everything well."
As time went on Chamberlain shared in Greene's struggles as she learned that she would not be able to carry a child, and her health continued to diminish.
"I watched her process coming to terms with the fact that her body wouldn't carry a baby," Chamberlain said. "She was at that point where she wanted to have a family, but she just accepted that having a child wasn't going to work and she got busy on making adoption happen."
Greene was successful and adopted their little boy, Maddox, the day he was born. Chamberlain said that she thinks this new addition to Greene's life was just what she needed to push on through her struggles with her heart disease.
"Maddox is just this beautiful child with a smile very much like hers and he just became the center of their universe," Chamberlain said. "I think he was just what she needed to get that drive to keep on going when her heart started to diminish over the last few years before the transplant. She just kept going for him; he was her heart."
On Feb. 22, 2012 Greene was placed on the transplant list and told to expect a wait of at least two to six months. To her surprise her phone rang later that same day to tell her they had a match and she was scheduled for surgery the next day.
Chamberlain said that it was a special moment the first time she got to see Greene after her transplant.
"She held her hands out and you could see blood flowing," Chamberlain said. "Her hands had always been blue and cold. She had no makeup on but her cheeks were rosy and you could just see life and a working heart. It was just a neat thing to experience."
Chamberlain said that Greene went back to work as soon as her doctors allowed it and despite a good career with good benefits she knows the medical bills are weighing heavily on Greene and her family.
Chamberlain said that Greene never made mention of the financial difficulties she was facing but did say that it was overwhelming coordinating information and payments between the medical offices and her insurance.
"I didn't ask her but I went online and researched and found different statistics and one said in 2011 that the average year of a heart transplant recipient is about $997,000 if it goes well," Chamberlain said. "I am sure the insurance has done well, but it only goes so far."
This bit of information inspired Chamberlain to use her passion she'd found in retirement to help out an old friend. She went to Mike Lewallen, the director of the Carolina Outlaws, a mounted shooting performing group that performs regularly at Lone Hickory, and asked if they would be willing to help out with a fundraiser.
"Mike's wife had experienced heart problems throughout her life and so it was something that was close to her," Chamberlain said. "They said absolutely and asked whom it was for and what we needed them to do. I told them the story and they threw everything in behind it."
Lewallen enlisted the help of Denny Chapman, a wild west entertainer who was featured on the first season of the History Channel's "Top Shot" series. Chapman signed on to host a shooting seminar and demonstration of his stunt work.
Several other Yadkin County residents signed on to volunteer their time or skills to make the fundraiser a success. Through the seminars, food sales, a silent auction, bake sale and donations the result was a significant one for the Greene family.
For Heather, however, the event wasn't about the money she would eventually take home for her medical bills. It was about the people who were there to support her whether they knew her or not.
"I have met a lot of people that I didn't know," Greene said. "I've met a lot of cancer survivors that have touched me. You've got to have that support and this event shows that support. People that don't even know me came out to support me. It's overwhelming."
As for Chamberlain, she said that Heather's story continues to change her life each day.
"She inspires and encourages me," Chamberlain said. "There were those days before Heather when I would get up and just slump through my day and she just puts in everything in perspective. You just get up and you go on and put a smile on. Life is so much better because of that."
