Rashes can appear at any age in a huge
variety of forms. Sometimes it is part of a
general illness andat other times it appears
only to be skin deep. Babies and toddlers
are common sufferers of rashes. I'll talk
about two common types.
Vmtl IafectioaB
It is much more likely in babies to have a
rash with a general illness, very often viral.
Usually they are on most of the body and
limbs. It tends to be made up from small
pinkIred areas (macnles) which may be
raised (papules). If the child is quite ill
then you should see a doctor. Mild illness
paues in a few days and needs no special
treatment.ACROSS DOWN

and ooze. The face, especially around the
mouth, tmder the chin and the scalp (cradle

Treatment in mild cases is quite simple.
Moisturising creams pplied directly to the

protect from the wind and cold. Steroid

e Police and Us. .Ia. WorkIng TogetherEvery woman has a right to feel safe in her own home and on the street.Unfortunately a large number of women do not feel safe. Far too many are afraid ofbecoming victims of harrassment, robbery and assault. Women must respond to thisfear by doing everything possible to reduce the risks. .WPC Ellen Pybus of the Langbaurgh Community Relations Dept. offers the following
advice to women on various aspects of their own safety:- ': ~ _ . "
AT HOME ,(2'ES-kJ1. If you live alone - don't advertise the fact. Use only your surname and Initials In thetelephone directory. on doorbells and nameplates. .2. Don't encourage peeping toms - draw your curtains at night.3. Keep a whistle or personal attack alarm by the phone and use It on obscenephone callers. If you are pestered Inform BT or the Police. Never tell anyone you'realone.4. Keep all doors locked when you are inside the house. Fit a doorchain and viewerand outside lights above the door.
WALKING
1. Unless unavoidable - never walk home alone or at night. Don't take short cuts.2. Keep to busy, well-lit roads.3. If the street Is deserted walk down the middle of the pavement.4. Keep your hands out of your pockets so you're free to defend yourself.5. NEVER be tempted to tiitch or accept a lift with a s~n ger . Use a taxi wheneverpossible. If possible always carry a parsonal attack alarm and be prepared to use it.

with three of my 100m mates.

The day of the race came. Kevin who
trains at Darlington two nights a week
with me went first. He cannot dive in as
he has Muscular Dystrophy . \Ve were
lying in 5th place when I took over for
the second leg. By the time I handed
over to Marcus, who is blind. we had
moved up to -lrh. A boy called Willie
swam the last leg and by then the
whole of the poolside
crowd had erupted because
at this point Spain, the
horne nation. were leading
and France were second. I
looked up to where my
parents. brother and sister
were sitting and saw that.
like everyone else. rhev
were shouting their heads
off. By now Willie was starting to pull
a\\'ay from 4th place and finally
managed co finish 3rd in the bronze
medal position.
Proudest moment
I have never felt so proud as I stood on
the podium with my team mates to
receive my bronze medal and it took
me a long rime to come down off
"cloud nine" . It was certainly the best
day I' ve had in my sport so far!

On Thursday 27th August 1-992 I tlew
from Teesside airport to Heathrow to
join up with the rest of the swimming
squad chosen to represent Great Britain
at the Paralympic Games held in
Barcelona, Spain.
I started swimming at an early age for
theraputic lessons. I was hom with
Cerebral Palsy and the school I went to
in Ormesby was for disabled children.
It had its own hydro-therapy pool.
My parents and school teachers took
me all over the country to
competitions and as I got
older I represented my
country both at National
and International levels.
This, however. was my
first time at the Olympics.
We arrived at our
accornodarion 10 the
Olympic Village at 2am
and after going through the security
rigmarole loo ked forward to a long
slee p. but at 6am we were taken for our
first trainin g session in the O lympic
Poo l which loo ked bigger than a
