Recently I practiced my driving skills at the NASCAR Speedway Park at the Concord Mills Mall. I was outside for maybe 30

minutes. It was a warm day so I wore a tank top. Since I didn’t plan on being outside for a prolonged period of time, I didn’t use

sunscreen (except on my face). When I got home I noticed that my shoulders were burned. I try my best to take care of my skin,

so I was a little disappointed that I didn’t take precautions. So it is time to remind ourselves of our summer skin routine.

Know how long it takes your skin to burn. Check which body parts burn faster and at what altitude you are at. I don’t rec-

ommend testing this often, but it really does help knowing.

Determine the SPF you need (at least SPF 15 for all skin). Take the amount of time it takes for your skin to burn and divide

by the minutes you plan on being in the sun. Also, check with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure any medications you may

be taking doesn’t make you more sensitive to the sun.

Cover up. The darker the clothing the better the protection. Also, wear sunglasses and a wide brimmed hat.

Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going outdoors, even on cloudy days. Thrown out sunscreen older than 3 years.

Stay out of the sun from 10-4p.m.

Now, that we have made it through the winter ho-hum, it’s time to bask in the warmth of the sun. Let’s do it responsibly.

Trainer Tips and Tidbits Summer, Sun, and Skin By Caroline Richard

BOsS (Business Owners Spotlight) Wayne McNeil started his own business in October 2000, but has been in home improvement for

more than 25 years. He likes working for himself and enjoys the feeling of satisfaction after a job

well done. The best reward is a happy customer.

Wayne had been looking for a home in Davis Lake for about a year. He missed out on a couple

homes, so when the house off Chestnut Knoll became available, he moved quickly to make the deal.

He liked the fact that home owners in Davis Lake take pride in their homes and yards. He thought it

would be a good place to live--and it is!

Wayne used to have a vinyl siding company by the name of Carefree Exteriors. He eventually sold

his half to his partner. When it came time to name his new business he thought about the service that

he provides. One of his main products is a high end coating for all kinds of surfaces that is cost ef-

fective and virtually maintenance free. So he came up with Carefree Coatings as the name. His busi-

ness does inside/outside painting, windows and small wood repair jobs.

Wayne is single and most of his family is from N. Wilkesboro. He has often said that his single

status allows him to be on call 24-7. For more information about the services and what some of his

customers had to say about his products and performance, go to carefreecoatings.net .

For Homeowners looking for low maintenance we offer permanent liquid coating systems by Duralast and Simonton Replace-ment Windows, voted #1 by W. D. Powell and Associates.

Go Green! source: www.treehugger.com

This month’s suggestions for preparing

earth-friendly meals will turn you into a

greener gourmet in no time.

1. Make It Last—Choose cookware

and utensils that stand the test of time

and won’t have to be thrown away with

your leftover casserole. Go for stainless

steel or cast iron Although a bit of an

investment, a good cast iron skillet will

last for generations. Likewise, choose

sturdy utensils rather than cheap ones.

Buy high-quality knives that you can

sharpen by hand, and use long-lasting

cloth towels instead of paper.

2. Energy Smackdown: Gas vs. Elec-

tric—Many cooks prefer gas because

it's easier to control temperatures; it also

offers instant-on heat, and doesn't waste

much heat when the cooking is done. If

you're a gas devotee shopping for a new

stove, know that the lower the BTU

output, the more energy-efficient your

stove will be. With electricity, the most

efficient stoves are those that use induc-

tion elements, which transfer electro-

magnetic energy directly to the pan,

leaving the cook-top itself relatively

cool and using less than half the energy

of standard coil elements.

3 Energy-Efficient Cooking—Make

the best use of the oven as possible -

cook more than one thing at once, for

instance. For small dishes, using a

toaster oven, or reheating in a micro-

wave will also save energy. When cook-

ing on the stove, use a properly sized

pot for each of the stove burners, and

close-fitting lids whenever possible,

which helps in reducing cooking time.

Pressure cookers are another great way

to save energy, reducing cooking time

by up to 70 percent.

4. Buy Local—The food you bring into

your kitchen is just as important as the

gadgets and appliances you have there,

so buy local whenever you can. Food

miles have risen near the top of eco-

friendly food considerations, and the

fewer miles from farm to table, the bet-

ter. Whenever possible, we recommend

supporting a community supported agri-

culture (CSA) co-op, buying from local

farmers' markets or purchasing directly

from farmers themselves.

5. Bulk Up—Buy in bulk and cook in

bulk; just make sure you can consume

what you purchase and produce. Pur-

chasing from the bulk bins mean less

packaging, and fewer trips to the store,

and can also mean financial savings.

6. Waste Not, Want Not—Avoid over-

sized portions; if you are regularly

throwing food away then you are buy-

ing, and cooking, too much. Reuse

what you can, like old glass jars or bot-

tles, grocery bags, and packaging you

can't avoid. Recycle any and all pack-

aging that you can not reuse.

7. Green Kitchens Can Be Clean

Kitchens—There are plenty of natural

cleaning companies that produce non-

toxic, biodegradable, plant-based deter-

gents. You can also create your own

cleaning products using everyday ingre-

dients such as vinegar and baking soda.

8. Remodeling? Recycle—Making

your old kitchen work is the greenest

option, but if you need to upgrade or

replace, look first at salvage and an-

tiques. Look for kitchen fittings, floors,

paneling, and cabinets that have had a

previous life. If you’re trading things

out, be sure to offer them on Freecycle

(www.freecycle.org) or Craigslist

(www.craigslist.org) before kicking

them to the curb. There are plenty of

green options for new materials too.

Green countertops made of recycled

paper and yoghurt pots, to bamboo and

cork flooring.

Preparations for the 2008 Triad Swim Sea-

son are underway and coaches Morgan

Allen, Ashlee Brust, Kala Brust and Laura

Donato are laying the groundwork for a

successful season for a Dolphin team of

over 120 competitors, ages 5-18.

Swim team families should check

their swimmer’s folder every day for

important and current team informa-

tion.

In addition to long-time team sponsor

(and former Davis Lake resident) Dr.

David Paquette (Paquette Orthodon-

tics), the Dolphins are proud to an-

nounce that Chick-Fil-A of Davis

Lake has become our second major

sponsor. Shelby Hepler, owner/

operator has generously contributed to

the cost of providing a pool bag to all

swimmers in 2008! Thanks to his and

Dr. Paquette’s generous contributions,

the team will be outfitted with team

shirts and bags. Please support these

neighbor businesses who support the

Davis Lake community.

Practice schedule:

May 19th - June 9th Monday - Thursday

(evening practice); 5:30-8:00pm.

June 11th - July 11th Monday - Thursday

(morning practice) Time TBA.

Be on the look-out for your neighbor Dol-

phins selling tickets for the Spaghetti din-

ner and Dive-in movie (Ratatouille). All

proceeds will benefit team activities and

all foods, supplies and efforts will be vol-

unteered by Dolphin families. See calendar

for dates.

Nuclear Safety by Kathryn McLaughlin

Davis Lake is within the10-mile zone of the McGuire Nuclear

power plant and very nearly within the 10-mile zone for the

Catawba power plant. Those who live and work with in this

radius are subject to special consideration if there is an emer-

gency.

There is a siren on David Cox Rd. which will alert our residents

to an ―event.‖ There are four classifications of emergency for a

nuclear station:

Unusual Event-- for a minor problem, no danger to the

public

Alert--an event that reduce the station’s level of safety, no

danger to the public. State, county and Duke officials

would get emergency operations ready for use, if needed.

Site Area Emergency-event that could involve major prob-

lems with station systems. County officials would sound

the siren. Radio and TV stations would provide information

and instructions.

General Emergency-the most serious classification. Sirens

would be sounded. State and local authorities would take

action to protect the public. Radio and TV emergency alert

stations would provide information and instructions. Sta-

tions are 107.9 WLNK and 103.7 WSOC.

Sirens are tested on a quarterly basis. The remaining dates for

2008 are July 9 and October 8. Tests last three minutes. In an

emergency siren would sound repeatedly.

The Duke Energy web site provides detailed information re-

garding emergencies and preparedness in the following areas:

-radiation-get the facts

-emergency classifications, outlined above

-special assistance-if one has a special situation, let Duke know

beforehand

-sheltering and evacuation-location of shelters (ours is UNCC)

and items to bring

-services provided at reception centers/shelters

-agricultural information-effect of nuclear emergency on agri-

culture

-nuclear security-how Duke keeps each plant secure

-pet information-state health regulations prohibit pets in recep-

tion centers/shelters. Tips on providing for pets in an emer-

gency.
