SPEEDING IN CorDIllEra raNCh ParKING oN ThE STrEET

Children are our greatest treasures, and we’re creating a threatto their safety by parking

on the streets and by speeding through Cordillera Ranch.

Most homeowners have some space in their garage reserved for storage – in some cases most of the garage, thereby not leaving enough room for their vehicles. Consequently, many owners park their vehicles on the street making it difficult for others to pass and creating hazardous conditions for the children. Although we’re all anxious to get home to be with our families, speeding and reckless driving is against the law and endangers everyone. Cordillera Ranch is a family oriented community with many children; for that reason before you speed or park on the street, please consider their well-being. Also, children playing in the street can unknowingly create a dangerous situation, especially on heavily traveled streets; the driver may not see the child, especially in the evening or after dark. We all know that children have a tendency to move about impulsively and may inadvertently run into the street. Please don’t let a tragedy happen before parking your vehicle off the street or obeying the speed limit. For the benefit of all the residents and children, and the overall appearance of your neighborhood, please do not park on the street. Make accommodations in your garage or driveway for your vehicles and keep your streets clear and safe for all and please, DO NOT SPEED IN CORDILLERA RANCH.

Hair not enough to Protect Scalp From Sun Danger

Baylor College of Medicine

HOUSTON – (March 2, 2009) – Whether your scalp is covered with a full head of hair or not, dermatologists at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston say play it safe when it comes to skin cancer on the scalp.

“While most cases of skin cancer on the scalp are found in balding men, a full head of hair doesn’t mean you are fully protected,” said Dr. Ida Orengo, professor of dermatology at BCM and director of the Mohs Surgery Center at the Baylor Clinic.

Dark thick hair gives more protection compared to blond wispy locks, but some type of extra protection should be used at all times. Drug stores now carry shampoo or leave-in conditioners that include sunscreen, Orengo said.

“The best prevention method is to wear a hat with at least a three-inch brim around the entire head,” she added. “If not a hat, which can be uncomfortable in the heat, then carry an umbrella for shade.”

Treatment for skin cancer on the scalp is the same as treatment for cancer on any other part of the skin – it must be cut out. Since there is not a lot of extra skin on the scalp, it is more difficult to close a hole left behind after removal, and there is a chance for a bald spot. However, there is a large blood supply found on the head so incisions usually heal well, Orengo said.

The most common forms of skin cancer found on the scalp are basal, squamous and melanoma, which can be deadly.

“Early detection is important, so if you have a regular hair dresser you might want to ask him or her to keep an eye out for any new moles or bumps,” Orengo said. “Most patients say it’s their hair dresser or barber that finds the skin cancer first.”

Those at risk for skin cancer should also have an annual full-body skin check, which includes the scalp.

Orengo cautions that it’s not just the scalp, but also the skin along the hairline and ears that is sometimes forgotten when sun block is applied.

“You have to be diligent,” Orengo said. “Even if you have protection with shade, always wear sun block.”
