Whenever outside, appropri- ate UVA/B-blocking protec- tive lenses in well-i tted, safe frames are valuable for all; particularly in the younger child, adolescent and those who are geographically or medically at higher risk. h e lenses should block at least 99 percent of UVA/B light and meet local protection standards. Polarized lenses ot en provide greater com- fort from glare, especially for light-sensitive children.” An Answer To help parents take care of their children’s eyes, the Polaroid Sunglasses brand created a free UV app called the Polaroid UV Alert app that measures UV radiation.

Don’t Forget Quiet When Shopping For A Gas Furnace (NAPSA)-No question about it-comfort is top of mind when homeowners are in the market for a new gas furnace. Everyone wants to be warm and cozy when out- door temperatures begin to fall, and they want that com- fort delivered quietly. h at’s why it’s important to add quiet operation to your list of requirements as you shop for a new furnace. Several factors af ect the noise level of a gas furnace, beginning with the unit’s ef- i ciency rating. In the case of gas furnaces, ei ciency is expressed as an annual fuel utilization ei ciency (AFUE) rating. AFUE ratings range between a minimum of 80 percent to a maximum of 98.5 percent and represent the ratio of fuel that is con- verted into usable heat. In other words, the highest- performing furnace con- verts 98.5 percent of its fuel into heat. h e remaining 1.5 percent is lost through the exhaust. Generally speaking, the more ei cient a furnace is, the quieter it operates. Single-stage, two-stage or modulating technology also impacts furnace sound levels. Traditional single- stage gas furnaces operate much like a lightbulb-they are either on or of . h is can create highly noticeable l uctuations in temperature and sound in your home, as the unit turns on and of fre- quently. Two-stage gas furnaces of er an intermediate level of performance. Operation varies between i rst and sec- ond stage based on demand, resulting in fewer stops and starts and quieter operation, especially when the unit is running at the lower i rst stage. Modulating gas furnaces maintain an ideal tempera- ture by modulating heating levels in small increments. Comfort is dramatically in- creased as the furnace ad- justs its level of operation up or down to of set the rate at which heat leaves your home. At the same time, operation is considerably quieter-in the case of variable-speed models, as much as 24 times less noisy than conventional furnaces. Finally, the size of duc- twork can impact sound levels. So when you select a furnace, be certain your ductwork is large enough to accommodate the airl ow (measured in cubic feet per minute, or cfm) the furnace pushes. Ductwork that is too small can result in whistling sounds throughout the sys- tem. To help, the Champion brand from Johnson Con- trols of ers a variety of gas furnaces to meet your heat- ing needs comfortably and quietly.

A Problem Unfortunately, most people don’t pay enough at- tention to eye protection and are not aware of the harmful ef ects of UV rays. Only half the population thinks that sunglasses are a must-have accessory to protect the eyes from harmful solar radia- tion, and more than 30 per- cent of them say they rarely wear sunglasses. Perhaps because of this dei ciency of awareness, product quality is not behind most sunglass purchase: 57 percent of customers buy sunglasses only for style and 28 percent based on price, while only 15 percent make informed choices based on lens quality and UV protec- tion level. How To Choose Sunglasses Wearing sunglasses that block 100 percent of UV rays and up to 96 percent of blue light is a simple, safe and cost-ef ective way to protect the eyes. Although lens color and shading are not indicators of the sunglasses’ UV-blocking ability, dif erent lens colors of er dif erent advantages: • Yellow: good for skiing or low-light situations, such as fog, as they increase con- trast though they can cause color distortion; • Amber/Brown: good for nearsighted people; • Light Blue/Green: best suited for farsighted people. h e level of eye protec- tion depends mainly on the lens i lter and material. For example, Polaroid Sunglasses’ UltraSight polar- ized lenses let less than 1 per- cent of UV rays pass through S TORY Loaded. $2,750 541-991-2274 541-902-1368 D NICE 2001 FORD WINDSTAR A handy app can help you tell how strong the sun is right where you are so you can protect your family.

UV400 lenses block all harmful UVA, UVB and UVC rays, eliminate glare and provide crisp, correct vi- sion and accurate color per- ception. h e core element is the polarizing light i lter. UV light absorbers and shock- absorbing layers are fused to both sides of the lens so it’s light, l exible and impact resistant. A scratch-resistant layer on both the outer sur- faces completes the lens structure. h e company is a world- wide leader in eye care and optics and a pioneering in- ternational eye-wear brand that owes its name to the invention of polarized lenses, changing the world of tech- nology and optics.

For one thing, chil- dren are more likely than adults to be outdoors, es- pecially in the summer and on snowy days, and sand, snow and water rel ect UV light and increase the need for protection. For another, children’s eyes are even more sensitive to UV rays than adults’ because they are clearer and more delicate and their pupils are larger and let far more light through than adults’ eyes. Exposure to UV radiation can lead to kera- titis in children; that is, an inl ammation of the cornea that causes pain and itchi- ness. Berg’s Cleaning & Misc.
