Charlie is a good name for an old fashioned gentleman, isn't it? Well, Charlie IS my name and that's me. I've experienced 11 years of love and happiness, but most recently loss and despair. My purrents were taken from me by no fault of their own and I miss them every day. At first, I thought life without them was unbearable until my new caretakers taught me that I still have many years of love to give to someone else who needs it as much as I do. If I had my way, I'd live the rest of my life in slow motion - a calm, quiet home with a family who enjoys the simpler things. You'll never hear me complain if I've got a patch of sunlight to lay in or a window to gaze out of, especially if my companions are close by for some much-appreciated affection. I will have to be on thyroid medication forever, but I'm a good boy about it and it'll keep us together that much longer. The CCC is in need of supplies, especially litter (Scoop Away), bleach, laundry detergent, dry and wet cat and kitten food (Purina/Friskies), paper towels, trash bags, and treats! Any help is very much appreciated! We are located at 289 Thompson Road in Webster and are open Thursday through Sunday 12pm-3:30pm. You can see more of our adoptable cats on Petfinder and Adopt-a-pet and we would love it if you would follow us and share our kitties on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com /pages/Community-Cat Connection/18375625177438.

7 sunscreen myths a dermatologist wants you to stop believing
(BPT) - It's no secret that sunscreen is essential for protecting our skin from the sun's damaging rays. Even on a cloudy day, sunscreen is important for helping to reduce early signs of skin aging and skin cancer when used along with other sun protection measures. However, not everything you hear about sun care is true: there are a number of dangerous sunscreen misconceptions out there that can lead to potential issues for the skin down the road. To cut through the confusion and help you best protect your skin from the sun's harmful effects, board-certified dermatologist and Clinical Associate Professor of Dermatology at the New York University Langone Medical Center, Dr. Elizabeth Hale, who has partnered with Coppertone, debunks common sunscreen myths:
June 12, 2019
Myth #2: Individuals with darker complexions don't need sunscreen Truth: Having a darker complexion means more melanin is present in the skin, but this only works to diffuse UV light to a certain extent and doesn't protect from skin cancer and sun-induced hyperpigmentation. The sun can cause damage to anyone's skin, regardless of their complexion, which is why sunscreen is necessary for people of all skin tones and ethnicities. If the white residue left behind from sunscreen deters you from applying any, opt for Coppertone Sport Clear, a clear sunscreen with a gellike consistency that goes on clear without leaving any white residue behind. It provides broad spectrum sun protection in SPFs 30 or 50 and is water-resistant (80 minutes).
Myth #3: Cosmetics have enough SPF to keep you protected Truth: A new wave of makeup products containing built-in SPF are taking over the market, but just because you use these products does not mean you should skip sunscreen for the day. Foundations, powders and other beauty products generally don't provide adequate protection, so consider them just added insurance. Moreover, since we don't always reapply our makeup on a regular basis, your skin is vulnerable for the majority of the day. To be safe, be sure to apply actual sunscreen before or after your makeup and reapply throughout the day.
Myth #1: All sunscreens are created equal Truth: To best protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays, look for the words "broad spectrum" when choosing a sunscreen, which means the product protects from both forms of UV radiation. Opt for a product with a minimum SPF 30, which can help protect you from approximately 97 percent of the sun's damaging rays, and look for a product that is water-resistant. Myth #4: Sunscreen does not expire
www.SmartShopperAd.com
Truth: Digging through old beach bags and car trunks for sunscreen might seem cost-efficient, but using an expired sunscreen puts your skin at risk. The active ingredients in most SPF products tend to break down after about three years, and even faster when exposed to high temperatures and direct sunlight, making the ingredients less effective in protecting you from sun damage. Not all sunscreen products come with an expiration date, so try to keep in mind when the product was purchased, store it indoors and be on the lookout for signs of deterioration, including changes in color, consistency, texture or smell. If you are not applying sunscreen regularly, which you should be, make it a point to restock your sunscreen at least at the start of each summer.
sunscreens will say "water resistant" on the bottle, which is great. However, even these water-resistant sunscreens need to be reapplied after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, and immediately after towel drying. Be sure to check your product instructions and use and reapply as directed.
Myth #7: Chemicals in sunscreens should be avoided Truth: All of the ingredients used in sunscreens have been wellstudied and considered to be safe for human use. In fact, while physical sunscreen ingredients like Zinc Oxide and Titanium Oxide are excellent options, the addition of chemical ingredients can help improve the spectrum of protection and make for a better performance sunscreen option. The good news is that there are many options Myth #5: A base tan will prevent available, so that you can make the choice of what's best for you. sun damage Truth: To prevent further skin damage our bodies naturally build Having a basic understanding of sun up melanin, which is what makes protection and knowing the truth us look tanner, but this natural behind common misconceptions is protection is nothing compared to key in safeguarding your skin and the defense provided by sunscreen. reducing your chances of premature Any form of skin tanning is a sign skin aging and skin cancer. Along of sun damage. Just because there with taking additional measures to are no visible signs of sunburn, protect the skin, such as wearing UV radiation and unprotected a protective hat or coverup and sun exposure can still damage the minimizing time in the sun when it's skin, so always make sure to wear the strongest, applying sunscreen as directed plays a vital role in sunscreen and reapply as directed. keeping you and your loved ones' Myth #6: If a sunscreen says, "water skin protected and healthy. resistant," I don't need to reapply For more information on sun after swimming Truth: Some performance protection, visit www.coppertone. com.

• Take a week off just to relax. Sometimes a person needs to recharge after going on vacation, as planning a trip and then the trip itself can require a lot of work. Staycations or devoting another week to just lounging around or catching up on tasks around the house can ease pressure. Then it’s possible to go back to work or school feeling even more recharged.
Vacations from work and school are great ways to make summer memories, and the following are some ways to get even more out of these relaxing breaks from the norm.
• Get out of the house or office. What’s the good of sunny skies and hot temperatures if you do not get to enjoy them? Make it a point to spend time outdoors every day. Go for a midday walk, sit in the park after work lets out or throw the ball around with the kids in the backyard. Sunlight can be great for the mind and body.

Even though the Fourth of July, a holiday in which the flag is prominently and proudly displayed, had long been celebrated as the birthday of the United States, Cigrand wanted a holiday that would focus specifically on the flag in all its glory. June 14 was selected because it marked the anniversary of the official adoption of the first flag. Cigrand led his school in the first formal observance of the holiday, and throughout his life continued to advocate for respect of the flag.
• If displayed with other flags, Old Glory should be at the top-most point or in the center of a horizontal array of flags. • If the flag is displayed on its side, the blue field should be to the left. • The flag should be raised in the morning at a residence or business and taken down at night. The only exception to the flag being out at night is if it’s illuminated. • Flags can be repaired. However, if a flag is tattered, it can be removed and brought to a local VFW hall to be properly disposed of. Flag Day honors the Stars and Stripes, a symbol of the great American nation.
