There are two types of suns rays that damage skin, UVB rays, which have a shorter wavelength, dont penetrate the skin deeply but can cause significant damage to DNA, which can lead to skin cancer. The other type of ray is UVA, which penetrate more deeply into the skin and is one of the causes of premature aging of the skin (that weathered leather look).

The clubs first garden tour garnered plenty of interest and inquiries about a repeat of the fundraising event for next year, she says. - Maggie Pe- trushevsky photo The Rockwood MILLER OPPs Street Crime Unit has 37.2% success rate Wellington OPPs Street Crime Units record for solv- ing break and enter crimes in the second quarter of this year was 37.2%, well over clearance rates of 25.9% in 2005 and 24.9% in 2004. It is also well above the na- tional average of 17%. Property crime investiga- tions are often complex, time consuming and can also be shared with other jurisdictions. The Street Crime Unit was created to enhance the uniformed officers ability to respond and solve these crimes. The OPP maintains the solve rate demonstrates the units commitment to the task. For example, street crime officers initiated an inves- tigation into the theft of a stolen Caterpillar backhoe from a construction site in Hillsburgh. Information received from a confidential source allowed officers to trace the missing backhoe to a property in West Luther Township. The street crime unit worked to recover the $50,000 ma- chine and have it returned it to the owners all within 24 hours of its theft. Subse- quent follow-up from street crime members eventually located the suspect in the Oakville area where he was arrested and transported back to Wellington County. The suspect was interviewed and eventually admitted his involvement in the planning and execution of the theft. New technology With the ever-growing National DNA databank and increasing capabilities of new technology this is becoming a vital tool in convicting suspects of prop- erty crime offences. The street crime unit has two such recent examples where evidence from the scene was matched to a DNA profile on the National Offender database. One match in April 2006 led to charges in a com- mercial B&E from Mount Forest and an arrest war- rant for the suspect, which remains outstanding. The other match in May, 2006, was from the rim of a drink cup discarded in the driveway of a Minto township B&E where over $40,000 in jewellery, elec- tronics, and firearms was taken. The street crime unit worked on this informa- tion to eventually obtain enough evidence to arrest and charge all three of the suspects responsible for this occurrence and recover some of the stolen articles. In April 2006, the street crime unit acted on informa- tion about stolen property at a property in West Luther Township and subsequently wrote a lengthy search war- rant for the premises. Upon execution of the warrant, a large quantity of marijuana, an illegal weapon, numer- ous stolen tools, and two stolen snowmobiles were recovered. Charges were laid with one suspect choosing to go on the run. Numerous arrest warrants were then obtained for this individual and the street crime unit worked aggressively to eventually locate, interview, and charge this individual. In the in- terviews, the suspect fully admitted to all of the charges and two stolen weapons were also recovered. Efforts are ongoing to locate much more. Liaison with Guelph In June, 2006, the street crime unit l iased with Guelph Police in response to a break & enter and theft of handguns from the Fer- gus area. Investigation by both agencies led to the ar- rest of the male perpetrator and appropriate charges. Interviewed by both street crime and Guelph police, the suspect admitted his role in the break-in and admitted to selling the guns on the street in Guelph. In June, 2006, street crime unit members worked with members of the Waterloo Regional Police in a multi- jurisdictional investigation where a break in was com- mitted to a church in Mount Forest and the property pawned in the Cambridge area. Interviews by both agencies led to three par- ties admitting their role in the offence and appropriate charges being laid.
