| Tanning Bed Article Lacks Canerous Truth
When reading Christine White's Nov. 29 tanning bed article in Tuesday's paper, I practically peed myself with anger. I found it extremely amazing that I could read about the "Pros and Cons" of tanning beds and not come across the words "skin cancer." Those friendly bulbs that supposedly free you from depression and give you stronger bones also can give you other neat things such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Guess what? All three can kill you.
If you have any history of skin cancer in your family, tanning beds are just about the worst thing for your skin other than coating your body in Crisco before heading to the beach. So next time you are, like, totally wanting to go to a tanning salon, think about the consequences.

Jaymie Goss, a hot pink backpack at her feet, explains the U.S. Army uniform she's wearing and the rifle she's learned to use. Though she's a high school senior, she's a soldier. Across the table, a couple of classmates chat about tanning beds and buying a bathing suit, with one saying she goes to Lane Bryant for a good fit. Goss, who turned 18 in late September, doesn't hear them. After enlisting in the U.S. Army Reserve last year and completing basic combat training, she's changed. "I've learned a lot about myself," the Tigard teen said. As the war in Iraq wears on, some school districts are finding more and more students and their parents telling their high schools not to provide personal contact information to military recruiters.
