Did you know that with active supervision and some basic safety tips, every day at the playground can be a walk in the park. Playgrounds are so much fun and children love to play on them but as parents we don’t think about the dangers until something happens. Falls are the most common type of playground injury, accounting for more than 75 percent of all playground-related injuries. Lack of or improper supervision is associated with approximately 45 percent of playground-related injuries. Simple tips can prevent these injuries or less of them. Be sure to actively supervise your children on playgrounds. It won’t be hard – they’ll probably be calling for you to watch them climb, jump and swing. That is for sure. When I use to take Larry and his friends to the park in Sylvester I would hear many times “Watch me do this”. I loved those days! Another simple tip is take your kids to playgrounds with shock-absorbing surfaces such as rubber, synthetic turf, sand, pea gravel, wood chips or mulch. If your child falls, the landing will be more cushioned than on asphalt, concrete, grass or dirt. Always dress appropriately for the playground. Remove necklaces, purses, scarves or clothing with drawstrings that can get caught on equipment and pose a strangulation hazard. Even helmets can be dangerous on a playground, so save those for bikes. And one of the most important tips is to teach children that pushing, shoving or crowding while on the playground can be dangerous. These are simple tips and some that we mostly go by already but if we don’t we need to definitely start. Have fun at any playground but stay safe while playing. You can find more information like this at playgrundsafety.org. Stay safe and enjoy these Spring and Summer days at the park… A place where everyone has fun, children and adults!

Can you believe they celebrate a day called "two different colored shoes” day?? How funny is that? It definitely brings back funny memories to me. When my mother was working at General Motors, there were some early mornings for her. She would have to get up early to get to work long before the sun came up. She would not want to turn on many lights because she didn’t want to wake my daddy up, so sometimes she would turn on a small light. Well that small light did not always lead her to the right colored shoes. She had a pair of shoes that she loved. She had a navy blue pair and a black pair. Well one morning, very early, she grabbed her shoes, put them on and headed to work. Those comfortable shoes always made mama have a great day until she looked down that particular day and had a navy blue one and a black one on. That was so funny to me and daddy but mama did not find it as funny as we did. Always check your shoes on those early mornings!

Spring has sprung! Birds are chirping and flowers are blooming. The warmer weather welcomes fun in the sun. The seasonal shift also is a great time to shed light on skin cancer. Skin cancer is the most common cancer impacting Georgians. In most cases, skin cancer is caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays, an invisible type of radiation that comes from the sun, tanning beds, and sun lamps. Basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas are the most commonly diagnosed skin cancers. Melanoma is the third most common, and deadliest, form of skin cancer. Anyone can develop skin cancer! People with lighter skin face a higher risk of developing skin cancer; however people with darker skin tones may often be diagnosed with skin cancer at a later stage, making it more difficult to treat. In fact, legendary reggae musician Bob Marley died at 36 years old from melanoma that had started under one of his toenails. The following tips may help to reduce your chances of developing skin cancer:
1. Wear sunscreen. It is important that sunscreen be worn year round. Be sure to select sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or higher and both UVA and UVB protection.
2. Cover up. Wear clothing that covers your arms and legs, sunglasses, and wide brimmed hats.
3. Avoid tanning. Stay away from tanning salons! Tanning bed use can lead to skin cancer.
4. Stay in the shade. This is extremely important during midday hours.
There are currently no routine preventive screenings available to check for skin cancer. Follow the tips shared above to reduce your risk. Also, regularly observe your body – all over - for changes! Remember: If you notice any changes to your skin, see a dermatologist (doctor who specializes in skin diseases). When caught early, skin cancer is treatable.

Isn’t it funny how a word or phrase, a holiday or a day to celebrate can remind you of a simple memory?

Isn’t it funny how a word or phrase, a holiday or a day to celebrate can remind you of a simple memory? I was reading just the other day about April being the month to celebrate different hats and I saw where they mentioned a straw hat. It took me back to Gordy. My daddy loved to do yard work and always wore a ball cap but as he got a little older, he bought him a straw hat. He was the cutest thing ever with his straw hat on. He would wear it when he was picking up pecans out at our home in Gordy. He loved picking up pecans but wanted to make sure he kept the sun off his head and neck. When Larry was about three months old, he loved to hold that straw hat and my daddy thought he was so sweet wanting to hold the hat that was about the size of him. After daddy passed away, we now have the straw hat that hangs on an old straight back chair of my grandmother’s. Both hold such great memories. We love to look at that hat everyday. Who knew a simple hat would bring so much joy.

There is not a day that goes by that a volunteer is not needed and there is not a day that goes by that we say thank you enough to our volunteers. Sylvester and Worth County have many great activities and events that occur in this great town but it could not happen without many volunteers and endless hours. If you ever wander how you can give back by giving your time, always contact your local Sylvester-Worth County Chamber of Commerce. They will always have list of events and contact names and numbers of places that you can help. Contact your local schools and see what way they may need help as well. It is not always giving your money that is needed. Your time is a great thing needed. I personally volunteer for several organizations and we could always use your help. If you are interested in volunteering but do not know where to start, please email me at lmanley1210@gmail.com and I can help you get started. For everyone in Sylvester, Worth County and surrounding counties that volunteer...THANK YOU from The Martin News. We truly could not make it with out you!
