Back-To-School Sun-Safety Tips BY EMILY PRAGER specialsections@antonmediagroup.com
While sun protection is often associated with hot summer days, harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays are present yearround and can be just as dangerous in the schoolyard as they are at the beach. Because UV rays are associated with about 86 percent of melanomas and 90 percent of non-melanoma skin cancers, children must be diligent about sun protection when they head back to school. Parents also play a role, by teaching kids to lead a sunsafe lifestyle. “There is a well-established link between sun exposure and skin cancer risk,” said Perry Robins, MD, president, The Skin Cancer Foundation. “Children and teens spend most of their time at school, so it’s important that they incorporate sun protection into their everyday lives, as it’s the best method of skin cancer prevention.” The Skin Cancer Foundation offers the following recommendations to keep kids sun-safe when at school:
• The sun’s UV rays are strongest from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and this is when students are usually outside for recess, gym and afterschool programs. Check with the school to see if there are adequate places for students to seek shade during outdoor activities. • Clothing is the single most effective form of sun protection. Send students to school in densely woven and bright- or dark-colored fabrics, which offer the best defense. The more skin you cover, the better, so choose long sleeves and long pants whenever possible. • Send children to school with a wide-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses, to protect their face, neck, ears and eyes. If they won’t wear a wide-brimmed hat, a baseball cap is better than nothing. • Parents should apply a broad spectrum SPF 15+ sunscreen to their children’s skin every morning, at least 30 minutes before going outside. Sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours outdoors and right after swimming or sweating heavily. • Older children should learn to apply
sunscreen themselves, and make it a routine habit. For extended time outdoors, a broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen should be used instead. •O ne ounce of sunscreen (about the size of a golf ball) should be applied to all exposed areas of skin. Remind children to cover those easy to miss

TRAVEL BY LYN DOBRIN Specialsections@antonmediagroup.com
When Garvan McCloskey of Garvan’s, the new gastropub in New Paltz, worked at a restaurant in the town center, a mile away, his opening line to a family coming in was “What part of Long Island are you from?” Most times he would be right to identify them as Long Islanders, not because we look so different but because so many Long Islanders attend SUNY New Paltz. “This year, nearly 30 percent of our undergraduates are from Long Island,” said Melissa Kaczmarek of the college’s office of communication. Approximately 400 freshmen from Long Island will be making their home there for the next four years. Which means that some of you reading this paper will be traveling back and forth during that time and looking for interesting activities to do with your children or on your own. I like New Paltz and have been there several times—once to visit the daughter of a friend studying there and other times because the area is beautiful. It’s a relaxed town with some remnants of its hippie years. There are always new restaurants and shops. In my most recent visit I stayed at Buttermilk Falls Inn in Milton, about 20 minutes out of town, and enjoyed a meal at

use, including walking, running, bicycling, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The 24-mile trail offers views of the Shawangunk Mountains and local farms, and passes through Gardiner, New Paltz and Rosendale, ending at the southern border of the city of Kingston. You’ll also want to make time for the pedestrian bridge called Walkway Over the Hudson. Put some history in your walk by taking a guided tour of historic Huguenot Street back in New Paltz to learn about the early European settlers who shaped the area. The Huguenots were French Protestants who were inspired by the writings of John Calvin. They were called heretics and there were many attempts to exterminate them. Thousands fled France and in 1678 a group of Huguenot families settled in the Hudson Valley in an area that had been occupied by the Lenni-Lenape tribe and then the Dutch. This
National Historic Landmark contains seven stone houses, a reconstructed church, archaeological sites and a burial ground. The names of the founding families might sound familiar—many of the dorms at the university are named for them. Has all this exercise and touring made you thirsty? Quench your thirst in the tasting room at Weeds Orchards and Winery, one of the many wineries and orchards in the Hudson Valley. You can try their own wine plus 20 different varieties of wine, hard cider and beer from all over New York State. There is also a restaurant on site and music on the weekends. If you stop at the orchard before heading back to Long Island you can pick-your-own vegetables, fruits and flowers. In additional to several varieties of apples, they expect to have tomatoes, green beans, yellow squash and kale in September. Visit www.UlsterCountyAlive.com for information.
BE MORE. DO MORE.
Other schools may say you can’t—Holy Trinity says you can. You can achieve beyond your expectations. Take Christian Taylor. A sophomore, he came to Trinity as a football and basketball player. But he’s become a competitive runner and may very well concentrate on track next year—in addition to taking all Honors and AP classes and singing in the school choir. We believe he can accomplish just about anything. Isn’t that how your high school should be?

Keeping Your Kids Drug-Free BY ROBERT SILVERMAN specialsections@antonmediagroup.com
All parents want to feel confident that their children are happy, healthy and focused on the future. The unfortunate reality is that drug use can derail these goals and put a strain on families. Parents can do a lot to curtail their child’s risk. Here are three tips to help keep kids drugfree this school year and beyond.
Get kids active in extracurricular activities
11B
confidentially. For example, First Check home drug tests detect up to 12 of the most commonly abused drugs in five minutes with more than 99 percent accuracy. Visit www.firstcheckfamily.com for testing tips and resources for parents. Be proactive. You have the power to help kids make healthy choices this school year and beyond. —Robert Silverman is the editor-in-chief at StatePoint
Adolescents aged 12 to 17 who participate in extracurricular activities are less likely to use alcohol, cigarettes and illicit drugs, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). Many extracurricular activities are known to have positive effects on students’ grades, attention span and behavior. Afterschool activities will keep kids engaged in something positive while they are outside the classroom and also provide an incentive for staying healthy. If your school lacks a particular activity in which your child expresses interest, investigate offerings at local community centers.
Open the lines of communication The importance of communicating with your child can’t be overstated. A regular, open dialogue will make children more likely to talk to you about peer pressure and stress—the kinds of factors that can lead to drug use. You can foster communication by regularly sitting down to dinner as a family and checking in on homework and school projects. Encourage children to invite friends over, so you know more about others with whom they spend their time.
Test your child If you suspect your child is experimenting with drugs, there are tools that can help you find out for certain in the privacy of your own home. Seventy-five percent of high school students have used addictive substances, according to CASAColumbia. Additional research by NSDUH showed that 1.8 million adolescents had used marijuana in the past month since the time of the study. Home drug testing kits are readily available at your local pharmacy so you can get answers quickly and
