“We use a really strong sunblockwhen we go to the beach with thekids. It’s SPF 80: You squeeze the

tube, and a sweater comes out.” —Lew Schneider

Let’s Get GrandmaA 6-year-old was asked where hisgrandma lived. “Oh, she lives at

the airport,” he replied. “When wewant her, we just go get her. Thenwhen we’re done having her visit,we take her back to the airport.”

Favorite Frosty TreatsWith a clanging bell or a happy

tune to announce their arrival, icecream trucks have served frozen

novelties for generations. Here aresome time-tested favorites:

Ice cream sandwiches. A New YorkCity pushcart peddler is credited

with inventing the ice creamsandwich in 1899. For a penny,

the vendor placed a scoop ofvanilla ice cream between two

graham wafers, offering a new wayto enjoy the frozen treat on the go.

Popsicles. An 11-year-oldCalifornia boy named FrankEpperson accidentally madeculinary history in 1905 byleaving a cup of water with

powdered soda and a stirring stickout overnight. The concoction

froze, and the Popsicle was born.About two decades later, Epperson

sold his patent for the “frozendrink on a stick,” and it took off

across the country.Ice cream bars. In 1920, a young

boy walked into the Iowa shop ofChristian Kent Nelson and

couldn’t decide whether to spendhis nickel on ice cream or a

chocolate bar. So Nelson beganworking on a way to combine thetwo, and after weeks of work, hecreated the chocolate-coated ice

cream bar.

Nurse’s NotesSunny and Safe Summer FunThe odds of developing skin

cancer rise as you age; nearly 40and 50 percent of Americans who

live to age 65 have a higherpossibility of having at least onetype of skin cancer. Skin cancer

may be caused by manymutations accumulating over timeand the body’s immune system isresponsible for recognizing and

killing abnormal cells before theybecome cancerous. As you age,

your immune system is less ableto fight infection and control cellgrowth. Many older adults think

that there’s no point in protectingthemselves since the damage hasbeen done, but it’s never too lateto help prevent further damageand lower your skin cancer risk.The Skin Cancer Foundation has

always recommended using asunscreen with an SPF 15 or

higher as one important part of acomplete sun protection regimen.

Sunscreen alone is not enough,however. Here are a few ways to

keep yourself well protected whilehaving safe, sunny summer fun.

1. Seek the shade, especiallybetween 10 AM and 4 PM.

2. Avoid tanning and UV tanningbeds.

3. Cover up with clothing,including a broad-brimmed hat

and UV-blocking sunglasses.4. Use a broad spectrum

(UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an

SPF of 15 or higher every day. Forextended outdoor activity, use awater-resistant, broad spectrum(UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an

SPF of 30 or higher.5. Apply 1 ounce (2 tablespoons)of sunscreen to your entire body30 minutes before going outside.

Reapply every two hours orimmediately after swimming or

excessive sweating.6. Examine your skin head-to-toe

every month.7. See your physician every year

for a professional skin exam.
