YMCA Adds New Board Members


Two new members have been added
to the Board of Directors at the
Cumberland Cape Atlantic YMCA/YMCA
of Vineland. They are Donna M. Perez
and Paige Desiere. Board president Gary
Galloway said, Both of these individuals
bring to the board broad experience
both professionally and with our community. We are delighted that they have
joined us and look forward to working
with them at the YMCA to help make
our region healthier and stronger.
Perez said, I was honored to be
named to the YMCA Board because I
have seen for years that the Y is
involved in community affairs and giving
to others. Now I am beginning to learn
even more about all that the Y does for
people of all ages, and I am very
impressed. She is a financial consultant
with Wells Fargo Advisors. She has been
in the financial industry for twenty-five
years and holds her securities licenses
series 7, 63, and 65. Perez grew up in
Magnolia, NJ; she and her artist and
entertainer husband George live in
Vineland. Perez is currently the vice
president of the Cumberland County
College Board of Trustees and a board
member with the Greater Vineland
Chamber of Commerce. Her hobbies
include running and antiquing.
Desiere commented, I have always
respected the YMCA as the backbone of
the health of our community. I wasnt
aware, though, of all of the programs
that the Y spearheads that are beyond gym and swim. Its such a good organization that I am thrilled to be part of it. The YMCA is what our community needs.
She is the CFO and Human Resources manager at Foundry Service Corporation.
Her prior position was as the executive director of the Greater Vineland Chamber
of Commerce. She holds a Bachelors degree from Pennsylvania State University
and certification in Organization Management. Her list of community involvements
is long and ranges from the Bayshore Center to the Vineland Rotary Club. She and
her husband, Devin, especially enjoy camping and golfing with their son Devin,
Junior. They are Vineland residents.

I Jersey Reflections

{ BY VINCE FARINACCIO }

The Grange
Uri Carruth was affiliated with the group, since he
published a weekly newspaper for the local chapter.

he National Grange of the Order


of Patrons of Husbandry, or as it
was simply known, The Grange,
is an agriculturally based fraternity that was founded in 1867 during the
early years of Vineland. It isnt any surprise
that a local chapter existed here, but what
may raise a few eyebrows is the fact that
one Vinelander affiliated with the organization was none other than Uri Carruth.
He was the editor of The Vineland
Independent whose relentless written
attacks against Charles K. Landis prompted
the latter to resort to violence.
According to online sources, the New
Jersey State Grange was organized in 1873
at the height of the groups early popularity,
which lasted until 1875. It was during this
time that membership throughout the
country increased considerably. The
Grange, for the most part, was politically
non-partisan and included women and
teenagers as members because of their
place as workers on family farms. At a time
when women were fighting for the right to
vote, the Grange stipulated that four elected positions in the organizations hierarchy
had to be filled by women.
The society had been created during
what was a particularly low period in
farming in the U.S. According to The Idea
of Fraternity in America by Wilson C.
McWilliams, The general malaise of agriculture was not enoughto produce
movements of protest. Agrarian activism
only developed where additional factors
added to farm burdens and insecurities,
like the single crop areas or the regions of
high mortgage indebtedness, or where
predisposing factors existed in the political culture.
The Grange, then, operated as a peaceful movement that sought to regulate
transportation costs of farm products by
rail and to promote within communities a
positive relationship with agriculture, particularly from an economic standpoint.
McWilliams points out that the group borrowed from a pre-existing model. The
Grange, he writes, [was] organized by
outsiders steeped in Masonry. The originators of the Grange, like so many farm
groups, were employees of the Department
of Agriculture. Its not surprising, then,
that the group incorporated such ritualistic ingredients as secret passwords as part
of its methods.
The evolution of the organization

remained conscious of its peaceful mission.


As McWilliams reports, The Grange
excluded and condemned a long list of
malefactors thought to encourage prodigality and Mammonmonopolists and
middlemen along with the institutions of
credit and fashion. Since this amounted to
a rejection of American industrial life, it is
no surprise that the Grange gradually drew
away from a negative programsmashing
monopoly, toward a positive view of government intervention.
Carruth was affiliated with the group
because he published a second weekly
newspaper called The Grange to accommodate the local chapter of the organization.
Yet, its difficult to rationalize why many of
his criticisms of Landis attack the very
principles espoused by the Grange. Landis
remained a champion of the farmer, of
women and of community, seeking to provide rail transportation to New York for the
Vineland farm owners and to develop a
quality-based society.
All these beliefs, plus the fact that
Landis was a member of the Masons,
demonstrate that he was attempting to
accomplish the same goals from the same
philosophical base as the Grange.
Ezra Slocum Carr, in his The Patrons of
Husbandry on the Pacific Coast, easily recognized what Carruth had missed. All
things considered, he writes, Vineland is
perhaps the most single success in drawing
off the over-crowded population of cities,
and setting them at work upon the land;
and it is unquestionably the most prosperous community in the United States.
Carr sums up the success of Vineland
with several pertinent examples: California
cannot outvie in size and quality the fruit
shows from Vineland the luscious strawberries, peaches, melonsor the fresh vegetables Speculation in uncultivated lands,
which has been the bane of other settlements, never has occurred in Vineland, the
advance in value invariably being upon the
improvements of actual settlers, whether
permanent or otherwise [and] if anyone
would know whether temperance and education are sufficient safeguards against
crime, let him read the statistics of the
police and poor expenses of this settlement
for the last six years
For some, it wasnt that difficult to
notice and acknowledge. I

throughout the area. With next year being


the 80th anniversary of the theaters
opening, I cannot think of a better way to
celebrate, said VDID/Main Street
Vineland Executive Director Russell
Swanson. I am truly excited about the
huge contribution this will make to our
downtown and for Vineland in general.
Bay Atlantic Symphony Executive
Director Paul Herron is just as excited
about the future potential of this new
partnership.
Our new Cumberland County home
will help generate new regional excitement about classical music and will allow
the Symphony to play a key role in the
Landis Theater being a cultural presence
in the heart of Vineland, Herron said. I
am also thrilled that we can expand our
music education program to serve
Vineland students and truly make a difference in developing the musicians of
tomorrow.
The Bay Atlantic Symphony is also the
Orchestra in Residence of the Stockton
College Performing Arts Center, Avalons
Symphony by the Sea Series, and the
Cape May Music Festival. It also performs
a summer classical concert series and a
September gala at the Borgata Hotel
Casino & Spa in Atlantic City. The new
relationship will not change the
Symphonys relationships with those
entities.
The Symphony moves its Cumberland
County performances to the Landis
Theater from Cumberland County
Colleges Frank Guaracini, Jr. Fine &
Performing Arts Center, where it has been
Orchestra-in-Residence and a regular part
of the venues artistic schedule since the
center opened in 1995. The orchestra was
then called the Bridgeton Symphony, transitioning to the Bay Atlantic Symphony
two years later.
We want to thank Cumberland
County College and the Guaracini Fine &
Performing Arts Center for being one of
our artistic centers for the past two
decades, Herron said. It has been a time
of growth and expansion for the
Symphony. This new partnership, however, allows us to meet new challenges and
develop new audiences. It was a tremendous opportunity that presented itself and
we felt that it was time to move on and
take advantage of it. I

Jersey Fresh Festival Planned


The Vineland Jersey Fresh Festival
Committee has announced that the 2016
event will be held on Sunday, August 14
from noon to 6 p.m. The Festival will move
from Giampietro Park to the Vineland High
School campus, located
on East
Chestnut
Avenue
between
Brewster
Road and
Lincoln
Avenue.
Committee officials say the new location
was selected because it is more accessible
to the public. Giampietro Park is a beautiful location, but there is limited on-site
parking, said Economic Development
Director Sandy Forosisky. As a result, it
was difficult for Festival attendees last year
who were asked to park at an off-site location and take buses to the event.
The Jersey Fresh festival celebrates the
significant role that agriculture plays in
New Jersey. Proceeds raised at the event
are used to fund scholarships for students
majoring in agricultural related fields.
For businesses and individuals interested in becoming a sponsor of the 2016
Jersey Fresh festival, there are five different sponsorship levels that range from $100
to $2,500. While each package is different,
all sponsors will receive publicity through
event promotional material and recognition
at the event. Newfield National Bank and
First Choice Freezer and Cold Storage have
already signed on as Platinum Sponsors,
pledging $2,500 each.
Want to join the Festival as a crafter or
volunteer to help? E-mail PublicRelation

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation


(RWJF) and the University of Wisconsin
Population Health Institute (UWPHI)
recently released their 2016 County Health
Rankings & Roadmaps. In New Jersey, the
findings were quite revealing: Hunterdon
County is healthiest, while Cumberland
County ranks #21, the least healthy county.
The Rankings identify a number of areas
of concern for Cumberland County in
regard to health outcomes and factors,
including adult obesity, physical inactivity,
access to exercise opportunities, sexually
transmitted infection, residents who are
uninsured, mammography screening, children in poverty, violent crime and housing
problems. Areas showing improvement,
year over year, but still needing attention,
include adult smoking, teen births, excessive drinking and unemployment.
This year, the Rankings included three
additional measuresresidential segregation, drug overdose deaths, and the health
effects of insufficient sleep. Other counties
with low rankings include Essex, Camden,
Atlantic, and Salem.
For several years, Cumberland County
has ranked last in nearly all measures of
health outcomes, but in that time, health initiatives, such as the Live Healthy Vineland
program that operates in partnership with
Cumberland Cape Atlantic YMCA and the
Vineland City Health department, have
sought to address these health disparities
and foster a Culture of Health throughout
the community. Recently, community leaders
from Vineland, Bridgeton and Millville came
together to form Live Healthy Cumberland
County, a collaboration seeking to improve
health disparities in several areas, including:
diabetes, mental and emotional wellness,
sexually transmitted diseases, teen pregnancy and violence. We are aware that there is
still much work to be done. Collectively, we
look forward to expanding and increasing
efforts to address these chronic issues and
any major gaps in access to the resources
and services Cumberland County residents
need to live healthier lives.
The County Health Rankings &
Roadmaps tools provide evidence-informed
approaches, coaching, and other resources
to help organizations like ours further
efforts to improve our communities health.
We must all work collectively and expeditiously to prevent declines in the health
factors and outcomes of our communities.
We applaud the efforts of RWJF and
UWPHI to highlight what we need to
know about whats driving health outcomes and what each of usNGOs, businesses, policy makers, and individualscan
do to create healthier communities.

NJ, visit: www.countyhealthrankings.org.)

Think Before You Choose


Everything in your life is a reflection of
a choice you made. Want a different result?
Make a different choice!
This is a quote I read recently and it
really hit home with all of the recent stories
about drugs, violence and general disregard
for respect of others (i.e., police officers).
Choicea word that needs to be taken
into serious consideration before making a
decision; this is a completely personal,
unalienable right one has to make a selection between one of two possibilities.
If you choose to do wrong, you
inevitably have chosen to risk the consequence of your actions. However, duly
noted, this is a guaranteed promise that
your unfortunate decision of a bad action
will definitely result in a likewise reaction (police officers responding to the situation, and doing their job).
If you choose to do wrong, you have chosen to take the risk of paying the consequences. There is no gray area here, this is a
lesson learned from the time we are able to
talk. Therefore, I pose this question: At what
point in ones life does that person choose
not to remember the word consequence?
Race, color, creed, makes no difference.
Right choices result in pleasant outcomes.
Wrong choices result in upsetting outcomes. We are not victims of circumstance
when we choose to engage in activities that
we know are morally, legally, and socially
unacceptable. There are rules for reasons,
and reasons for rules: Society cannot survive without them. A safe and stable existence is the right of every citizen, and violence never ends well. If you are the perpetrator of such action, be prepared to handle
the backlash. Think before you act.
Mary Barner, Vineland

How Healthy is Cumberland?

I would like to tell you about a fight that


many students, that enjoy the music
department are having at my school.
Specific classes in the music department
like Marching band and Select choir are
more work than an average class, since
these two classes go to competitions, and
perform multiple concerts a year. Since
these classes are more work for the individual, why are we punished for taking these
courses? The courses I just named are
weighted at a 4 out of 5. This is the same
weight as a basic class, and for honor students this brings down our overall GPA.
Why would such strenuous classes be
weighted like a basic course? Honor student are trying to fight for top 10, but this is
impossible with a 4.0 weighted class if all
the other classes of your peers are 4.5 or
5.0. Now, the easy thing to tell us would be
to just drop the class. But should we just as
easily disregard our passion? Should our
GPA be hurt due to a harder music class?
Isaac Garrett, Vineland

ast week was a milestone week


for our downtown and one that I
anticipate will lead to more great
things. That Tuesday, May 10, we
had a press conference at which it was
announced that our historic Landis
Theater will be the new Cumberland
County performance venue for the
renowned Bay Atlantic Symphony. This
three-year agreement brings together, in
addition to Main Street Vineland and the
Symphony, the Vineland Development
Corporation and the Landis Theater
Foundation. Another player in this partnership is the Vineland Board of
Education. Thanks to the Symphonys
acclaimed Music Mentorship program,
Vineland school students will be getting
hands-on instrument instruction from
professional Bay Atlantic Symphony musicians free of charge.
I wont repeat any more details of the
partnership, as it has received much visibility in the press, but I cant overemphasize the importance of what this means to
our downtown. Its a major part of the
revitalization and redevelopment of our
downtowns eastern gateway and a launch
of our downtown as a cultural destination.
To have a recognized, respected cultural
entity like the Bay Atlantic Symphony have
a regular presence in our downtownfor
concerts, for music education, and for
other special eventsis a major milestone.
We rolled out the red carpet for the
Symphony at the press conference and we
hope that youll roll out the red carpet
when they give their first concert in their
new performing home at the end of
October.
Speaking of enthusiasm, the annual
National Main Streets Conference is
always an enthusiasm-builder and I
along with our Assistant Director Robin
Barbetti and Business Development
Director Robert Scarpawill be representing Main Street Vineland at this years
conference, which takes place from May
23 to 25, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The conference brings together Main
Street leaders and volunteers from
throughout the country to hear dynamic
speakers, take part in exciting workshops,
see interesting expos, and, just as important, network to find out how other Main
Street districts are dealing with some of

In Part 2 of our Summer Health & Fitness guide, we
explore spring and summer health concernsnamely,
allergies, bug bites, and overexposure to the sun.
{ BY MARGIE BARHAM }

inally, summer is upon us. The season many of us look forward to all
year long. We love those sunny days,
warm and clear star-filled nights, swimming in the ocean, picnics in the park, and
campfires in the woods. But sadly, the season doesnt come without its downside.
The same beautiful weather that lures us to
the outdoors also attracts insects, brings
out pollens, and sets the stage for some
serious illnesses that can last long after the
leaves have turned color in the fall.
Spring and summer allergies are now
in full swing. Locally, the most common
airborne allergens are pollens and molds.
According to Robert E. Coifman, MD, of
Allergy & Asthma of South Jersey, P.A., in
Millville, oak is the most common allergenic tree pollen and usually peaks from

late March to mid-May, with highest levels


and timing depending on early spring temperatures and rainfall. This year, oak pollen
levels peaked in early April and were
unusually high because of climate.
Pines make pollen throughout the summer, usually peaking in July, but it is usually not a problem unless you live under a
canopy of towering pines. If your house is
more than 50 feet away from a 50-foot tall
pine tree, you probably wont get enough
pine pollen to cause allergy symptoms even
if youre allergic to it, explained Dr.
Coifman.
Grass pollen levels usually begin to rise
in mid-May, peak around Memorial Day,
and are much lower by the 4th of July. This
year, they started to rise in mid-April, how-

Sydney L. Tyson, MD, MPH lecturing to


ophthalmologists at the national conference
on the DROPLESS Cataract Surgery.

AT STERN ORTHODONTICS

WWW.GRAPEVINENEWSPAPER.COM |

Dr. Tyson has been honored to be asked to speak on various topics, most
recently on DROPLESS Cataract Surgery. This years national conference for
Ophthalmologists was held in New Orleans, LA. The conference was put on by
American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS), an international,
educational society with more than 10,000 members. Its mission is to advance
the art and science of ophthalmic surgery and the knowledge and skills of ophthalmic surgeons by providing clinical and practice-management education.
DROPLESS Cataract Surgery is a procedure that is growing in its popularity.
More and more surgeons are taking on this new procedure due to its convenience and cost savings for the patient, as well as its effectiveness. Dr. Tyson
not only has spoken a number of times on this topic, but also does webinars
for other ophthalmologists. He teaches at Wills Eye Hospital.
I love teaching this procedure to others, for it is a great procedure even
though it costs me more money, its benefits are most important to all of our
patients here at Eye Associates, states Dr. Tyson. Dr. Holzinger and I place
the drops in the eye during cataract surgery, therefore our patients dont have
to. It saves the patient money for the drops that they dont have to buy, but
also the aggravation of using the different drops three times a day for a few
weeks after cataract surgery.

ever. With climate change, New Jersey is
evolving from a six-week grass pollen season common in the northeastern part of the
country to more like Floridas 11-month
grass pollen season, said Dr. Coifman.
Grass pollen levels are usually much lower
by July 4 than at Memorial Day but still
high enough to cause symptoms in highly
allergic people, and there is usually a secondary grass pollen spike early in
September.
Ragweed pollen usually appears in
about the second week of August, peaks in
the last half of the month, remains high if
we have a warm and wet September, and
falls as days get shorter and temperatures
fall. The last ragweed is killed by the same
frost that kills the last tomatoes.
Mold is a curse of living in the middle of
a humid, rural area, said Dr. Coifman.
Climate change has increased mold levels
even more than grass pollen levels. The
average outdoor mold levels now are more
than six times what they were in the 1980s,
he said. The only time theres no mold in
outdoor air in South Jersey is when the
ground is frozen or covered with snow.
Management of allergies that already
exist requires one or more of three things
avoidance, medication to treat symptoms,
and allergen immunotherapy, which is a
treatment to re-program the immune system.
Avoidance may be practical for indoor
allergens such as dust mite and indoor
mold, Dr. Coifman explained. Controlling
these exposures may improve tolerance to
outdoor allergens because your allergic
response wont already be turned on when
you step outside. When going outside, he
explained, avoid the middle of the day
when most outdoor pollen levels peak, and
if possible time your outside activities to
late afternoon or evening when pollen levels drop.
Allergies and the common cold share
similar symptoms such as sneezing, running
or stuffy nose and cough. If you have a fever,
muscle aches, and generalized malaise,
especially after being exposed to someone
with an illness, then it is likely caused by an
infection such as the flu or a cold. An infection usually last a few days to two weeks.
Allergies will last as long as you are exposed

to the allergen and happen immediately


when exposed to a trigger. You will not get a
fever or feel achy with allergies.
However, some allergies can be deadly.
Insect stings, foods and medications can
cause severe, generalized reactions called
anaphylaxis in those who are sensitive
and carry the highest risk of fatality.
Anaphylaxis can usually be controlled by
the same methods as respiratory allergy to
airborne allergens and that includes avoidance, medications and immunotherapy.
Dont take this reaction lightly. Anyone
who has had anaphylaxis reaction should
be evaluated by a physician.
Bug bites can cause more than itchy
annoying bumps. Some bites can spread
diseases that can even be deadly. The
brown recluse spider and the black widow
spider have deadly bites. Ticks carry Lyme
disease, which can affect any part of the
body, and if not treated early on can lead to
a chronic condition. According to the
Center for Disease Control, these symptoms sometimes are attributed to something else because they mimic other diseases such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia,
arthritis, multiple sclerosis, depression and
even Alzheimers dementia. Typical symptoms are fatigue, cognitive impairment,
joint pain, poor sleep, mood problems,
muscle pain, and neurological presentations also occurring in other diseases. Some
may have the telltale bulls-eye rash or
Bells palsy (facial drooping). A blood test
can confirm if you have been exposed.
Avoidance of these bugs is your first line
of defense. There are powerful insect repellants (such as DEET), and also natural
products including essential oils available.
It is advised to use chemicals sparingly and
on clothing rather than skin. Check yourself immediately after an outdoor excursion. Shower and wash and dry your clothing in high temperature to kill anything
that may be clinging to the fabric.
According to the CDC, the Lyme disease
vaccine is no longer available. Production
was stopped in 2002, citing insufficient
consumer demand. Protection provided by
this vaccine diminishes over time.
Therefore, anyone who has received the
vaccine is probably no longer protected
against Lyme disease.
While we all are very much aware of

Lyme disease, the latest threat is the mosquito-borne illness, Zika. This virus has
origins in central Africa and has spread to
the western hemisphere. According to the
American Mosquito Control Association of
Mount Laurel, Zika was first discovered in
macaque monkeys in 1947 in the Zika
Forest region of Uganda. However, it wasnt
until 2014 when it was found off the coast
of South America. Today Zika cases have
been found in 35 countries in the Americas.
As of April of this year, there have been 426
reported cases of Zika virus due to travel to
endemic areas.
According to Peter Konchak, D.O., a
board-certified and fellowship-trained
Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist with
Inspira Medical Group, the Zika virus usually stays in the body for about a week and
the patient is usually asymptomatic.
Although there are some uncommon
reports of neurologic conditions (GuillainBarre syndrome), most individuals have an
uneventful recovery, he said. However,
the main risk is to pregnant women
because Zika virus may cause serious brain
birth defects (microcephaly).
For this reason, women who are pregnant, or thinking of becoming pregnant,

daily, and also help speed up your


metabolism.
6. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!
7. Try not to eat within two or three
hours before going to bed
Step 3: Start Exercising
1. Strength training in the gym?
Keep the reps no lower than six and
no higher than 15 and try to complete
your workouts within 45 to 60 minutes. If you are not, you need to stop
talking, cut your rest intervals, and
train more intensely.
3. Make sure you warm up and cool
down thoroughly. Usually 10-15 minutes on the bike or treadmill will help
warm you up and get the blood flowing. Make sure you stretch in-between
sets, and after your workout.
4. Whether you like to work out in
the gym or at home, the most important thing is to make exercising FUN!
Cardiovascular Training
1. Try to do some cardiovascular
training at least three to four times a
week for 20-30 minutes. Then slowly
build your time up to 45 minutes.
3. Harder is not better when it
comes to cardiovascular training. To
burn fat you want a moderate intensity
for a longer duration.
4. Work within your fat-burning
heart rate zone. Take 220 minus your
age. Take the number you get and
keep your heart rate within 60-75% of
that to burn fat. Example. 21 year old
person: 22021 = 199. 60%-75% of
199 is around 119 - 149 beats per
minute. That is the fat burning zone
youll want to stay in for the 20-30
minutes of cardiovascular training.

Step 1: Make a Plan


Keep a monthly eating and exercise
calendar where youll see it, like on
your refrigerator. This way, it's the first
thing you see every morning. People
who keep journals are more successful
at losing weight and staying in shape.
Write down what you eat and what you
do; it'll help keep you on track.
Step 2: Plan Your Diet
1. Eat smaller more frequent meals,
preferably five or six. If you are only
eating two or three, work on raising it
to four one week and five the next
week. (Remember that the portions
should be enough to satisfy you until
your next meal two or three hours
later.)
2. Make sure all of your meals are
built around a good quality, lean protein source (lean meats, poultry, fish,
protein powders, and tofu), and combine them with some type of vegetable. For at least your first three
meals, you want to divide your plate in
three sectionsa protein source, a
complex carbohydrate, and fibrous
green vegetables.
3. Eat your biggest meal in the
morning and slowly taper off the calories as the day moves on.
4. Avoid simple sugars.
5. Add green vegetables to fill your
plate. Examples are broccoli, green
beans, asparagus, zucchini, Brussels
sprouts, etc. These vegetables will give
you the recommended fiber you need

should not travel to any area where Zika


virus transmission is present, warns Dr.
Konchak, who encourages would-be travelers to check out the The Centers for
Disease Control (CDC) website where
information is updated on these areas on a
regular basis. Additionally, he cautions, as
Zika has been reported to be sexually transmitted, the male partner of pregnant
women should also avoid travel to such
areas. If exposed, avoidance of sexual activity for the remainder of the pregnancy or
utilization of condoms is advised.
Skin deep: Even with all we know about
the damage created by sun exposure, skin
cancer tops the list as the most common
cancer in the United States. According to
the American Academy of Dermatology
(AAD), it is estimated that one in five
Americans will develop skin cancer in their
lifetime. Melanoma is the deadliest form of
such cancer, accounting for 75 percent of
skin cancer deaths. Its rates in this country
have doubled from 1982 to 2011. Basal cell
and squamous cell carcinomas are the two
most common forms of skin cancer. If
detected early, these two are highly curable
with proper treatment.

Health
and
Fitness
Risk factors for all types of skin cancer
include exposure to natural and artificial
ultraviolent light. Daily sunscreen use is
advised to prevent skin cancers. The AAD
recommends avoiding sun exposure, wearing protective clothing and using a sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF)
of 30 or higher. This is advised for all ages
and is particularly helpful in children
where sunburn damage before age 20 can
lead to an increased risk of skin cancer
later in life.
Skin cancer is by far the most common
type of cancer and it can be prevented. The
main causes of skin cancer that we see are
from ultraviolet radiation from sunlight,
especially for a person who spends too

much time in the sun, said Ingrid P.


Warmuth, MD, a local board-certified dermatologist.
Dr. Warmuth stresses that the best
defense against skin cancer is to avoid sun
overexposure and protect your skin when
in the sun. As with all cancer, the chance
for cure increases the earlier it is detected.
Catching skin cancer early can provide a
better chance for successful treatment,
she said, adding that the best way to find
skin cancer early is through regular skin
exams with a board-certified dermatologist. It also means checking your skin at
home regularly. A self-exam doesn't take
the place of your skin exams with your dermatologist, she said, but if you notice any

changes in moles, freckles, or other marks


on your skin, you should contact your dermatologist right away to have it looked at.
Also, Inspira Health System is hosting a
free skin cancer screening for the community on Saturday, June 11, from 9 a.m. to 12
noon at Inspiras Frank and Edith Scarpa

YMCA DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM


You can reduce your diabetes risk and gain tools for healthy living through
the YMCAs Diabetes Prevention Program. The Y DPP is part of the CDC-led
National Diabetes Prevention Program. More than 200 Ys across the country
help thousands of people reduce their risk for developing type 2 diabetes with
the YMCAs Diabetes Prevention Program. This small-group program helps people with pre-diabetes eat healthier, increase their physical activity, and lose
weight, which can delay or even prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes.
The program is based on research funded by the National Institutes of Health
and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which showed that by eating
healthier, increasing physical activity and losing a small amount of weight, a person with prediabetes can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes by as
much as 58% and by 71% among adults aged 60 years or older.
In a classroom setting, a trained lifestyle coach will help you change your
lifestyle by learning about healthy eating, physical activity and other behavior
changes over the course of 16 one-hour sessions. After the initial 16 core sessions, you will meet monthly for added support to help maintain your progress.
Topics covered include healthy eating, getting started with physical activity, overcoming stress, staying motivated, and more. Program Goals include reducing
body weight by up to 7% and Increasing physical activity to 150 minutes per week.
Our Y is currently piloting the program and looking to provide services to
Medicaid subscribers, for no cost, in NJ. Classes are now forming. Contact
