Skin Cancer Is On The Rise
Use The Memorial Day Weekend To Get Ready For The Summer Ahead By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com For Elise Korman of Dania Beach, wearing long sleeve shirts and a total protection hat is indeed what her wardrobe consists of. The mother of three young children, who spends plenty of time outdoors, learned firsthand what spending those days in the South Florida sun can do to your skin. It was too late for her, but the advice she gives – as we head toward this Me-
morial Day Weekend – can make life a lot easier for others. “I was a child of the 80’s,” Korman recalled. “Beach three days a week, oil up in our bikinis and get tanned up. At 14, 15 and 16, you are not thinking 40 years of age. You are living in the now.” Korman is certainly not alone, many in their 50’s, 60’s and 70’s who had extensive exposure to the sun early on, are now paying the price. Like Korman, who has

Hemp & Heal Launches ‘Emergency Opiate Crisis’ Helping Veterans Get Help - And Putting Them Back On Their Feet With A Job Constructing Solar Panels Nobody has to tell you that opioid overdoses have become a public health crisis in this country.

In the last 12 years, deaths from opioid overdoses have skyrocketed over 400%. In 2017 alone, nearly 19,000 Americans died from opioids. Even President Trump has officially declared it a health emergency. “It has become so important to find a way to combat opioid addiction that we have something that really works and is proven,” said Jonah Bolt, Founder of Hemp & Heal. “Through hemp oil, we can, and
have, successfully gotten so many off a drug that claims so many millions of lives.” Because of Hemp & Heal’s commitment to fighting this strangling epidemic, the company has launched the ‘Emergency Opiate Crisis’ - which will help fight and eliminate the addiction through hemp oils and other products that have been proven to work. Perhaps one of the groups that has been affected by this are the Native Americans. A population where there are a depressed or a low socioeconomic factors, and are more vulnerable to opiate overdose. Many Native American populations suffer from Opiate, Page 3B
