W
est Bloomfield now
has its own T-shirt
thanks to retailer
Glenn Zierler of The Male
Room on the Boardwalk.
"We've been looking for
something to tie into the
community. We wanted
more recognition, and this
was the perfect opportuni-
ty," said Mr. Zierler.
Mr. Zierler admitted this
is not an orginial idea, but
he thought about it when he
talked with the distributor
form America's Best in Iowa.
The Iowa company did city
shirts for Chelsea, Warren
and Waterford that Mr.
Zierler liked. The primary-
colored shirt is filled with
scenes of West Bloomfield
and names of popular places.
People are fishing and
boating in the many lakes,
shopping at the stores, and
driving on Orchard Lake Rd.
There are even drawings of
the municipal buildings, the
country clubs and all the
local hang-outs. Mr. Ziegler
asked his customers what
they would like to see on a T-
shirt and then took
photographs of the area for
the artist. "Word is just get-
ting out about the T-shirt
and we will have a table of
them for the sidewalk sale."
he said. The West Bloom-
field T-shirts and sweat-
shirts, exclusively at The
Male room, sell from $15-
30. ❑

In the best of all possible
worlds, dermatologists would
never need to treat skin pro-
blems caused by the sun.
Ideally, people automatical-
ly would don wide-brimmed
hats and long-sleeved shirts
to protect their skin from
damaging radiation that can
cause wrinkles — and skin
cancer.
Many people are willing to
risk skin damage for a bronze
glow. But healthy skin doesn't
have to be sacrificed for a
healthy look, according to
dermatologists at the Univer-
sity of Michigan Medical
Center. Moderation is the key.
People who strive for a rich,
deep tan are really punishing
their skin, the dermatologists
say. While dermatologists in
the U-M Sun-Damaged Skin
Program don't promote tann-
ing, they do offer advice for
those who can't resist the sun:
• If you must tan, don't
burn. Sunburn is the worst
thing you can do to your skin.
• Choose a sunscreen based
on your skin's sensitivity to
sunlight and the planned
amount of exposure. Tanning
products that screen out
damaging ultraviolet rays are
labeled with sun protection
factor (SPF) ratings.
SPFs range from two to 50.
An SPF of two means that
you can spend twice as much
time in the sun without bur-
ning as you could with no
sunscreen; the higher the
SPF, the higher the protection
level.
Sunscreens are available in
three basic formulas: Para-
aminobenzoic acid (PABA) or
PABA derivatives; non-PABA
chemical sunscreens, and
thick ointments that
physically block the sun, such
as zinc oxide. Zinc oxide is
most commonly used on small
trouble spots, such as the
nose.
• Don't count on sunscreens
for full protection. An ex-
tremely high SPF doesn't
guarantee long-term protec-
tion. Even a sunscreen with a
high SPF can't block all the
damaging rays. If your skin
burns easily, rely on hats and
protective clothing if you plan
long days in the sun.
• Avoid the sun in the mid-
day hours — between 11 a.m.
and 3 p.m. — when the rays
are intense. ❑
