The tennis courts are scheduled for resurfacing and wind screens are to be replaced. The courts will be closed until the work is completed. Work dates are expected to be mid-July. However, at press time for the newsletter, the dates were not fully confirmed. Besides the tennis courts, plans are in the works for further isolating and repairing leaks in the kiddie pool. In addition, a plan is being developed to resurface the kiddie pool and make repairs to the beach area around it. The work is expected to begin after this summer’s swim season. Meanwhile, the pool rope has been repaired, which should be welcome news to adult swimmers, and lap swimmers in particular. Copyright © 2013 Peel, Inc.

Hunter's Chase Gazette A Focus on SUNBURN Protect your skin from our powerful sun By: Concentra Urgent Care

Sunburn is caused from over-exposure to the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. While the symptoms (such as red skin that is painful to the touch) are usually temporary, the skin damage is often permanent and can cause serious long-term health effects, including skin cancer, pigmentation and premature aging. In addition to the skin, eyes can get burned from sun exposure; sunburned eyes turn red, dry, and painful, and can feel gritty. Sunburn results when the amount of exposure to the sun or other ultraviolet light source exceeds the ability of the body’s protective pigment, melanin, to protect the skin. Sunburn in a very lightskinned person may occur in less than 15 minutes of midday sun exposure, while a dark skinned person may tolerate the same exposure for hours. Sunlight contains an invisible form of radiation called ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV A and possibly UV B can harm skin, connective tissue and increase risk for developing skin cancer. Certain drugs such as some blood pressure medication, antibiotics and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs increase sensitivity to sunlight and the risk of getting sunburn. Symptoms The first signs of a sunburn may not appear for a few hours. The full effect to your skin may not appear for 24 hours or longer. Possible symptoms include: • Red, tender skin that is warm to touch. (1st degree burn) • Blisters that develop hours to days later. (2nd degree burn) • Severe reactions (sometimes called “sun poisoning”), including fever, chills, nausea, or rash. • Skin peeling on sunburned areas several days after the sunburn. First Aid • Try taking a cool bath or shower. Or place wet, cold wash cloths on the burn for 10 to 15 minutes, several times a day. You can mix baking soda in the water to help relieve the pain. Small children may become easily chilled, so keep the water tepid. • Apply a soothing lotion to the skin. • Aloe gel is a common household remedy for sunburns. Aloe contains active compounds that help stop pain and inflammation of the skin. • Over-the-counter steroid cream can also be applied several times a day. • Over-the-counter pain medication, such as nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, including aspirin, may be helpful, and are excellent for reducing burn inflammation whereas Tylenol only reduces pain, not the burn itself.
