ance and Renee Youngs of the Alder-

awesome," Hilburn said. "They do it to

lished in 2004 and is affiliated with the
Mason General Hospital Foundation.

Preventing and Treating
Dry Skin
Dry skin usually results from
controllable environmental factors, such
as hot or cold weather with low humidity
levels. Other factors -including diseases
like psoriasis, thyroid disorders, alcohol
and caffeine, medications (antihistamines,
diuretics, and isotretinoin) and dehydration
- can significantly alter the skin's function
and appearance. Damage from ultraviolet
(UV) radiation may lead to deep wrinkles
and loose, sagging skin. If not cared for,
dry skin can progress to red, cracked and
inflamed skin, and infection. Moisturizers
help to keep water trapped in the skin.
Oils prevent the evaporation of water
from the skin's surface. Hot water and
long showers or baths remove oils from
your skin. Avoid harsh, drying soaps.
After washing or bathing, gently pat or
blot your skin dry with a towel so that
some moisture remains on the skin, and
apply moisturizer immediately. For very
dry and scaly skin, creams containing
lactic acid and/or urea may be beneficial.
If dry skin progresses to dermatitis (red,
itchy skin), corticosteroid-containing
preparations may be helpful. If skin
cracks open, wet astringent dressings
may reduce secretions and prevent
infection. Use a cool steam humidifier,
and choose clothing made from cotton or
silk that allows your skin to breathe.

Public Heall:]l may hike
its water anti septic fees
The Mason County Commission
will hold a public hearing Tuesday
on a new fee schedule for the envi-
ronmental services offered through
Mason County Public Health.
Meeting as the Mason County
Board of Health, commissioners
discussed the fee schedule at an
October meeting that also consid-
ered a proposed plan for managing
on-site sewage disposal systems.
Debbie Riley of Mason County
Public Health informed the com-
missioners that fees for water and
sewage services have not been
raised since 2002 and that prices
in general have risen by 17 per-
cent since 2000.
Most of the proposed fee hikes
are 10 percent, though the fee
schedule calls for annual fee hikes
starting in 2009 of no more than
3.5 percent based on the Consum-
er Price Index established each
year for the greater Olympia area.
"If the automatic fee adjustment
would cause any fee to exceed the
cost of providing services, that fee
will only be increased to the dollar
amount corresponding to the actu-
al cost of" providing the services,"
Riley stated in a written report to
the commissioners.
If approved as is by the com-
missioners, the new fee schedule
would hold the line on lab fees for
testing surface and drinking water
tbr the presence of fecal coliform
but would raise the permit for dig-
ging a well from $50 to $75 and
the plan review fee for small com-
munity water systems from $175
to $195. Inspection fees for schools
and daycare centers and schools
increase by $5 to $35, depending
on the age group served, but liquid

$450 to $360.
New fees for a review of "wa-

permit while fees for an environ-
mental health review of water sys-
tems would rise from $100 to $185
and the fee for an environmental
health review of septic systems
would rise from $100 to $165. Fees
for permits to dump woodwaste

the inspection of restaurants, mar-
kets and taverns. New fees would
