All the participants received ice cream cone certificates from A&W. The program, according to pub- licist Ann Baker, was begun to get children and parents interest- ed in a children's library at the church which had gone virtually unnoticed for many years. New books and videos were purchased with memorial-fund donations, and the new purchases, as well as materials already in the library, were displayed during the sum- mer for easy checkout.

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. 1-800-640-5503 207 Professional Way 426-4272 (Across from the hospital) 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.
