B.A., B.S.W., M.S.W., R.S.W., DIP. SOC. ADM. Counselling & Psychotherapy Q:After 20 years my spouse and t are separating. t don't know what to do next. Everyone is giving me advice about what 1 am entitled to but it's over- whelming. I feel so confused. How do t know what my rights are or what t should be doing? A: Separating can be very traumatic. There are a loi of things you need to know. There are many laws that apply so your break up. The Family Law Act et Ontario and the Children's Law Reform Act deal with most of them, except for your actual divorce, which is govemed by the Federal Divorce oct. These laws are complex. At some point you will probably need to retain a lawyer to help you through the process but that doesn't mean that you can't first lear much of the necessary information. The more you know about your rights and what to expect, the easier the process will be for you. Because you will be informed, you will have peace of mind in dealing with your spouse, and you will reduce your legal costs because you will know what information your lawyer will need so you will be able to prepare it ahead of lime.

Member of the Ontarlo Society of Chiropodists and The Ontarlo Collge of Chiropodists With the colder weather quickly approaching we all must make changes in our lives. We start to wear heavier clothing, often in layers, adding weight on our feet. Our shoes change to boots, which are heavier. Our activity level often decreases with our inability to walk due to the climate. This may sound like old news, however, this is often the time of the year peo- ple develop foot problems. Many of us would agree that our activity levels decrease in the winter months. How might this pose a problem? Our feet are a very complex structure with twenty-six bones as well as numerous tendons and ligaments. When we are not as active the the soft tissues will tighten. If you have not been active for awhile and go for that mile walk, an injury may result if you do not stretch. Also, a change fromt shoes t boots is often nec- essary. This means more weight and not always more support. This will fatigue the soft tissue in feet and lower limbs. When adding the extra clothes for warmth, you are adding further strain on the foot until something gives up. It's not usually the shoes! This will often account for arch pain, heel pain, bunion for- mation, neuromas (pinched nerves) and may cause havoc up into the knees and hips. Stretching is vital for strenuous activi- ties. Supportive shoes & boots will help prevent these possible problems. If you are doing indoor athletics, il is vital that you wear appropriate shoes and stretch before activity. Many prob- lems arise this time of year and are easily treated if the diagnosis is done early after the symptoms arise. B. Q A c T b t c c a .

An example of the effect is receding ms. A receding gum ine exposes the tooth roots and increases your isk of developing a sensitivity to hot and cold, or tooth decay in these nprotected areas. moking can delay healing after a ooth extraction or other oral surgem. moking can also contribute to bad breath, stains on your teeth and ongue, and a build-up of tartar on your teeth. lAre cigars a safe alternative tou cigarettes? : Cigars are not a safe alternative to cigarettes. Even if you do not inhale igar smoke, you are stili ai risk foral and pharyngeal (throat) cancers. Like cigarette smokers, cigar smokers are al increeased risk of periodon- al (gum) disease, a leading cause of tooth loss. n addition td the health risks, cigar smoke (and cigarette smoke) can ause staining of the teeth and longue as well1 as badl breath. Q: Are smokeless tobacco products safe? A: Like cigars and cigarettes, smokeless tobacco products contan a var- ety of toxins associated with cancer. At least 28 cancer-causing chemnicals have been identified in smokeless tobacco products. Smokeless tobacco can irritate your gum tissue, causing it to recedle or pull away fromt your teeth. Once this gum tissue recedes, the roots of your teeth are exposed, increasing your risk for tooth decay. The roots of your teeth also may become sensitive to hot and cold or other irritants, which means you could experience somne discomfort when eating or drinking. Sugars, often added to enhance the flavour of smokeless tobacco, can increase your risk for tooth decay. Smokeless tobacco also typically con- tains sand and grit, which can wear down your teeth.
