A tan to die for
Researchers have found new ways to measure our individual risk of melanoma. When Kerry Noble's three sisters and mother were diagnosed with melanomas in the tan-promoting 1970s, the Campbelltown family took no chances. Noble covered up her fair skin as much as she could, but she still developed three melanomas in her 40s and 50s - a severe form of skin cancer that claimed her youngest sister at the age of 31. "There wasn't as much information available in the 1970s as there is now. If I went out in the sun I got burnt. So I covered up, used sun screen, hats, sunglasses and avoided being in the sun; that's all I could do," Noble says. Despite research that indicates Australians are sun-savvy, teenagers expecially ignore the warnings in pursuit of a killer tan. According to the Cancer Institute's Lifestyle and Cancer Survey, released this week, 68 per cent of 13- to 17-year-olds and 62 per cent of 18- to 24-year-olds want a tan.
SHAMY: It's time to find something to ban in Vermont
Vermonters are, by nature, banners.
So what say we have a dumb contest to ban something from Vermont.
Here's the premise of the Banned From Vermont Contest: What's OK in Westchester County is not necessarily OK in Vermont.
We're not 625,000 head of cattle marching in lockstep with the rest of the planet. We don't have to allow everything in Vermont if we don't like some if it.
So nominate something we ought to ban and be prepared to back it up.
The only thing off limits in our contest is people or types of people. We're inclusive equal opportunity banners. Hilariously creative though it would have been, keep your suggestion that we ban flatlanders to yourself. We won't ban them or Republicans or animal rights activists or Yankee fans or anybody else.
