Jeff Oestreich spoke to Ada Council on July 7 on behalf of Configure Brands regarding a project in the preliminary stages. With the recent acquisition of Associated Plastics Corporation by Configure Brands, production has increased substantially, according to Oestreich.

Summer is officially here, which means it may be time to refresh your sun safety knowledge. Most skin cancers are caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from sun exposure, but artificial UV rays from tanning beds are linked to skin cancer. Spending time in the sun for recreational activities, going outside with unprotected or exposed skin, having serious sunburns in the past, having dark spots, or rough skin patches can all increase your risk of getting skin cancer. Additionally, the use of tanning beds can increase someone's risk of getting certain skin cancers by up to 60%.
