Get out of the heat! We all enjoy these warm summer days We tend to exercise more and stay out doors more. But few think of heat related illnesses. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke can be at best uncomfortable, at worst, fatal. Some people are at more risk for heat related diseases than others, usually the elderly, diabetics, those with heart disease, those who have had a stroke or seizures. People who are taking drugs, are also at more risk, drugs such as heart pills (B blockers and water pills) or stimulants, alcohol, lithium and narcotic pain pills Aspirin may also reduce the bodies ability to get rid of heat Our built-in thermostat keeps the body's temperature at 37.0 C. We preserve heat when the air temperature is cold, and we rid of excess sweat..Sometimes the sweat loss. is not enough to cool the body and the body temperature rises. Once the body temperature rises we become at risk for one of three heat related diseases. Heat exhaustion, heat cramps and heat stroke. People will get HEAT 2XHAUSTION when thé body temperature rises above it's normal 37.0 C. This usually occurs to people who are unused to exercise in a hot environment. They get dizzy, they feel faint, they get flushed and may sweat profusely. They lose fluids from the body and become dehydrated, They may complain of a headache. The best way to treat these people is to have them drink like erazy Avoid very sweet drink They may need salt to and water are best People HEAT CRARKIPS become stressed by heavy work Often the person has been drink cramp ing enough liquids sweating will have lost a lot of salt Brought to you by Castlegar's Medical Staff before trying heavy work in hot weather Once the heat build up in the body has reached a certain point the cell damage can By this time people will be drowsy and STROKE.

VIN 3P2 Wednesday, June 30, 1993 School's out—but parents, please don't panic! The first day of summer is upon us and carries greater signifi than a mere change of season. This is the end of the school year, and for some of us, the challenge of parenthood just begins this time of year Let's face it, for ten glorious months (minus a few long agonizing holidays), the teachers and counsellors have been carrying their fair share of the burden where our children are concerned. (Bless their souls). Now as I attempt to follow my morning routine this first day, I am wondering what the heck I'm going to do do manage the entire summer, Well, to be honest I am somewhat fortunate that for two weeks the two eldest are visiting their biological mother. Why does the very thought of this bring depression instéad of anticipated relief? Because I will miss the heck out of them, I must admit Can't live with ‘em, can't live with. out ‘em! It is obvious that in order to suc- ceed in a genuine attempt to avoid WwW III, I must make some: changes to my routine. Oh, I admit it is quite stressful to accomplish getting the kids “out the door" to school every day. But then, I could get on with my business at hand at least for half the day (providing the five-month old "monstéf-baby" would ) heless, I arose with a positive determined attitude this morn- ing, if somewhat exhausted. (Baby up half the night): I reviewed my list: feed and bathe baby, do exercises, get cleaned up, write column, make a dozen or so telephone calls etc, etc, etc. There is just no end to this list As I accomplish only one of those things within the first hour, it occurs to me that this has nothing to do with bravery (as my childless sister commends). Oh no. This is pure insanity. Putting the children in daycare is not an option because despite my hours of toil,-I am not tly raking in the big bucks. So I unfortunately must find a way to manage I don't know about the rest of you, but our children need structure And consistency, It takes much time and patience to create such an environment. The school system does wonders in this area and I some- ltumes wonder how they manage with our children. You see, our chil- dren hate structure, rules and working hard. Unless of course. it's fun too. And obviously the schools manage to inject some fun into their activities. Now that it's my turn for the next two months, my nerves are quivering with anxious anticipation. Time to go into survival mode That's taking life one minute at a time. While searching my soul for the best possible solution I become willing Brenda Scatterty © succeed with the same accomplishments during the sum- mer as the sQgool year, but I understand that unless my Fairy Godmoth- er does some pretty awesome tricks, I'm simply not going to be able to achieve this. The children need and deserve my time and attention, Sacrifices must be made. Maybe my housework will suffer. I may have {o get up earlier to do my exercises. There are endless possibilities, none of which I really want to choose, but choose I must I's either that, or the whole will be miserable this sum. And I sull won't have managed to accomplish everything on mi what do y say We all relax, let things slide a little and ummer with our children? Got my vote! fam damily mer list.

Seeing you BC hydro ove as In the Muslim enclave of war-torn Srebrenica, until very recently protected by the Vingt Deux of the Canadian Royal 22nd Regiment, it is not the cus- tom for women to attend funeral services. On television coverage we see women only in the most extreme cases of deprivation However, recently, a correspon- dent asked an older woman on the street how she felt about a recent shelling. She took the opportunity to point to the UN forces and emotionally declare that they are not Protecting the citizens of the area but were merely saving them for later slaughter by their enemies, She demanded that the UN forces kills the citizens now and relieve them of the agony of waiting! I have been struck by the absence of women in any of the negotiations for peace in any arena of conflict. It would appear that the men, and in par- tichlar the old men with long memories of old slights, slurs and hatreds, are very much in control. It occurred to be to wonder what would happen if the women were to become part to the negotiations for peace. If women sat at the table and dis- cussed the price of this ghastly civil war in terms of pain, suf- fering and Joss. Would there not be an attitudinal change? The elderly, women and children are truly suffering in a war not of their making. Would not women bring a calmer different perspec- tive to the legacies of hate? Are we not seeing the manifestation of what happened when war- riors rule, when the masculine nature of strutting and posturing wreak havoc upon the heads of all? Men have forgotten the wis- dom of Solomon, and continue to prefer to destroy rather than The Castlegar Sun Is there a season for warriors? share! Where the ba feminine nature is neither pes mitted nor voiced, provocation and confrontation flourish Women are, by nature, consen Sus seekers. Does it matter so much who rules over what par ticular strip of land? ~ i tecently attended a memori- ance of the al service for the husband of a friend, a man I did not know but whose wife is an active commu- nity volunteer. In the service this gentlemen was spoken of with fondness and warmth. He was described as an honest man, a hard working man, and a man who believed in doing all things well. He had been a good and faithful husband, a good father and a good provider for his family throughout his life Men and women had gathered to pay tribute to this men, and to show consideration and respect for his family left to mourn him. The service was punctuated by occasional snif- fles and tears among those of us who were moved to sympathize with the family's grief. That very ev&ning, I watched a memorial service on televi- sion, in a land torn apart by civil war, wherein neighbors who have lived peacefully together for years, now hate one another with unbridled passion. Vil- lagers had been enjoying a pick- up game of soccer when the shelling occurred, leaving play- ers and spectators maimed, shat- tered and many dead. The service was being held in remembrance of a-young war- nor not yet thirty. There were no tears, for the people have long since lost the ability to cry. The burial plot was a bit of ground between buildings, for the cemeteries d either full or blown away. The service was brief, though not without mou ng and sadness. The young man was described as “a good man, a good fighter." The disintegration of the for- mer Yugoslavia may have been desired and even neces: ary, but the annihilation of all its citizen- ty does not make any logical sense to any but those blindly acting out ancient rite and hatred, in events that exclude a large part of the population namely the women and children, who are the inevitable victims in this vicious war. “ In North America, women now-taking their rightful place in the decision-making on all issues. Women are involved in the political scene and are mak- ing their views known, for not all women run with the wolves in the pack and some have the courage to lead. Female voices, and the voices of sensitive men, can also be heard among the voices of reason. Women of rea- son join men of reason to DOUBLE 2 PC. SET QUEEN 2 PC.
