Warning Signs of
Malignant Melanoma
Early detection and treatment are
key to curing malignant melanoma
a cancer beginning in the pigmented
cells of the skin and often spreading
to other areas, especially if left un-
treated. Patient education programs
use the "ABCD rule" to help patients
determine when to have their moles
checked: Asymmetry - moles that
are not balanced in appearance;
Border irregularity- borders are not
clearly distinguishable or have fin-
ger-like extensions; Color variation
- any mole that displays mottled
colors (can be shades of brown
black, blue-gray, pink or white) or is
uniformly black; Diameter greater
than 6 mm (the size of a pencil
eraser). An "E" should be added for
Enlargement, Erythema (inflamma-
tion) or Elevation. Any mole that
becomes enlarged, raised, inflamed
or develops a rim of redness around
it should be evaluated promptly. A
physician's examination is impor-
tant because even harmless moles
naturally change over time.

Hoodsr)ort fire district honors
ItS firefighter-EMT Dave Miser
Firefighter of the Quarter for
Mason County Fire District 1 is
Dave Miser, the fire district an-
nounced this week.
Miser, a firefighter and emer-
gency medical technician, cur-
rently serves the Hoodsport Fire
Department as training lieuten-
ant and was selected for "his out-
standing efforts," said depart-
ment spokesperson Elaine Emery.
"He was instrumental in set-
ting up our office with the com-
puter, fax and copy machine,"
Emery said, adding that the set-
up included cutting a pass-
through with a sliding glass door
between the office and meeting
room.
"Dave's proudest achievement,"
she added, "was his collaboration
with Briwn Coolidge setting up
the training and records program
for the computer."
Miser is also an instructor of
cardiopulmonary resuscitation
and a firefighter instructor at
Level 1 for the county's first vol-
unteer fire department.
Dave Miser
CPR INSTRUCTION will be
offered next month, Emery noted.
The department will offer a
cardiopulmonary resuscitation
class for the community at 6:30
p.m. November 15 at the commu-
nity hall on Finch Creek Road.
The $10 fee will cover books and
cards. Those who wish to register
can call Karen Janda at 877-5867
or Connie Miser at 877-5163.
Emery says summer was a
busy time for the Hoodsport Fire
Department, noting that an in-
crease in tourism brings an in-
creased number of emergencies to
which the department must re-
spond.
"Fall," she said, "is the time to
clean up summer's garden and
yard material." She emphasized
that residents need to know the
specific rules for outdoor burn
piles and cited the county fire
marshal's information line at 427-
7799. The Guidelines for Outdoor
Fires in Mason County brochure
is available at the Hoodsport Fire
Department or the fire marshal's
office in Shelton.
To report a fire, she reminded
residents, call 911.
FIRES HAVEN'T been the
only focus of the department. The
Hoodsport Fire Department con-
tributed 21 bicycle helmets to
Cub Scout Pack 110 when the
pack held a bicycle rodeo with
Mason County Sheriffs Office
DARE Officer T.R. Rankin.
Pack leader Brian Oleson and
Cub Scout Karl Oleson recently
came to a business meeting of the
firefighters' association to report
on the success of the rodeo. The
department hopes to present
another bicycle rodeo in the
spring for the community.
The department, Emery said,
is considering replacing its 1980
Chevrolet mini-pumper, currently
used as its rescue unit, with a
new rescue and aid vehicle.
Emery added that the fire de-
partment has a new Web page
that includes information, photos
and an application to join the fire
department. To access the page,
Emery says, Internet users can go
to http:\\; \\;WWW.westsound\
mcfpdl. Would-be applicants can
also contact any of the officers or
the fire department at 877-5186.
