The Independent, Canadian Statesman Weekender, Bowmanville, Saturday, May 28,1994 15 Euthanasia and by Dr. Kathlynn Hoch SKIN CARE - Medical Experts warn to take extreme care when exposing exposing our skin to the sun. Hie bottom bottom line is: If you really must have a tan, get it from a bottle. Some 50,000 Canadians will get skin cancer this year, making it the most common form of cancer. According to the Canadian Canadian Dermatology Association (CDA) the answer is not to become phobic, but rather to be aware of the possible dangers of overexposure so that you can exercise an appropriate level of caution. Virtually all the effects of exposure exposure to the sun's longwave and shortwave shortwave ultraviolet rays (UVA and UVB) are damaging to the skin. Who's at greatest risk? If you have any of the following, you are at greater risk of developing skin cancer: cancer: Blond or Red hair, light blue eyes, bum before you tan, freckle easily, had two or three blistering sunburns before age of 18, lived in a tropical climate, work outdoors, sit in the sun. People taking medication can develop photosensitivity, an intense intense skin reaction. Medications that may set off a reaction include antibiotics, antibiotics, diuretics, anti depressants, and anti diabetic preparations. Check with your doctor or pharmacists to find out. Protection is especially important for children who are very vulnerable to sun damage. Stay out of the sun during peak hours 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Stay out of direct sunlight, especially babies. Use a total sunblock sunblock on children, wear a hat and long-sleeved shirts. Do not use sunscreen sunscreen on babies under 6 months; children over 6 months should wear a .broad-spectrum with SPF greater than 15. Choose a milky lotion without without alcohol for children. Don't forget lips and ears and remember to apply one hour before sun exposure. Use waterproof products for swimming and remember to reapply. Play areas should be in the shade. Remember: you can get burnt on cloudy days because because up to 80% of the sun's rays can penetrate light clouds. If your kids are going off to camp, remind them to use sunscreen, wear a hat and to follow the protection rules while away. (Reference Toronto Star - Sunday, May 22/94). Be careful if you are working outdoors outdoors or exerting yourself on a hot sunny day. Sunstroke can happen when you become overheated. Body temperature can soar to 100° with a rapid pulse.

My dictionary defines an affair as an amourous relationship or episode between two people not married to each other. It's described as an "amour, a Jove affair, especially of an illicit or secret nature." Thus: an extramarital affair is an amourous relationship or episode between between two people who aren't married to each other but are, either or both, married to others. So much for the dictionary. An illicit affair is exciting. The more proper, correct and discreet a person is, the more improper, unlawful unlawful and prohibited the affair will be to him or hér, and the more improper it is, the deeper the secret will be. Thé deeper the secret, the greater the apprehension apprehension about possible discovery. Add these ingredients together - the impropriety of the affair, its secrecy secrecy and the accompanying fear - and you have a large part of its zest, thrill and excitement. Another appeal of the extramarital affair is that it's removed from the humdrum of everyday life. As much as the lovers can make it, the affair is immunized against the day-to-day irritations irritations and hardships of married and family life. It's a mini-vacation of sorts, perhaps repeated many times. For example, in conversations between between lovers, budgets, diapers, groceries groceries and car repairs are likely to be ignored and made light of, as though they're talking about some other person's person's problems. However, lovers often often talk with great feeling about their respective marriages - analyzing, diagnosing, diagnosing, frequently complaining about their married partners. "I can be more myself with you," partners in affairs tell each other. They may be experiencing an unfamiliar unfamiliar and exhilarating freedom that's usually lacking in their marriages. marriages. Even though this new freedom freedom is experienced in an environment environment - that of the affair - which is closed and effectively sealed off from the rest of the world, it's a powerful enough motivating force for the lovers lovers to end their respective marriages and marry each other. It's at that point that each may discover that, once again, the illusory freedom has been lost. Partners in affairs are likely to see each other as possessing those posi- Hwy. 115 Newcastle 987-4339 Let us prepare a gift basket or cheese tray for you.

Who knows how much of this is accurate observation observation and how much is the result of wishful thinking? Self-delusion is pretty common in affairs. As a result, later awakenings can be painful. During affairs, people can leam useful things about their marriages. But there's a danger in trying to make definitive comparisons between the affair and the marriage at a time when one is involved in and, to some degree, committed to both. Those comparative judgements may not hold up later on. Affairs have in them an element of falling in love with illusion. That fades, along with some of the excitement, excitement, as lovers begin to argue and perhaps feel uncomfortable with each other. At this point, the marriage may look more appealing and secure. The intimate sharing that's possible possible only between soul-mates is unfortunately unfortunately lacking in many marriages. The search for it is a big explanation for affairs. Finding it, even in small measure, makes it hard to end them. Lloyd Scott is a marriage and family family counsellor in private practice in Oshawa and in the Orono Medical Centre.
