Though she has never used a tanning bed, Fuss would consider it for a spe- cial occasion such as a prom if she did not have the time to lie outside. A man at the playground who wished to remain anonymous answered “never” to how often he uses sunscreen. But he also said something no one else in- terviewed did - he actively seeks out the shade. The man, who says he has only gotten burned a few times, showed off a peel- ing arm. He says it was the first time he received a burn in a while. Kristen Volinski of Swoyers- ville replied, “I don’t” to how often she wears sunscreen. The 23-year-old was wearing sun- glasses and says she occasional- ly sports a hat if she feels her head is burning. Volinski does not intentional- ly lie in the sun to get a tan, but does spend time lounging in the pool. Although she admits try- ing a tanning bed package sev- eral years ago, she says she did not go for long and has not been back since. It is the intention of the Northeast Regional Cancer In- stitute to educate people like these who relax and play out- side about the risks of not pro- tecting yourself from the sun. Sun Safety is scheduled to con- tinue making stops throughout the area. ¢.

You’ re being recognized for do- Ing your job. i Brandt is still recovering from injuries sustained in the acci- dent, but is expected to return to duty.
