(Courtesy Photo) Nourish, protect I noticed my husband sliding his back on the doorframe near our liv— ing room. I knew the reason. "Where's the back scratcher?" he asked. I retrieved it and handed it to him. Evidently, the doorframe wasn't doing the trick. Yes, it's winter, I thought to my— self. As I watched him scratch his back, I became aware of the itchiness of my skin. I reached down to scratch my lower legs. Driving around with hot air blowing on my legs from our ve- hicle's heater wasn't doing my skin a favor. However, heat is a necessity in the winter. The palms of my hands were rough like fine—grade sandpaper. I had ventured outside without mittens the other day, and my skin did not ap- prove. I got up out of my easy chair to get some lotion for my hands and legs. Actually, my back was feeling itchy, too. We all need to take care of our skin all year long, but especially in the winter. Skin is the largest organ in the body. It serves as a protective barrier to help prevent harmful sub- stances from entering the body. Sun and the dry air of winter can be dam— aging to our skin. For example, wearing sunscreen throughout all seasons of the year helps protect our skin from the sun's damaging rays. Applying moisturizer helps keep our skin hydrated to serve as an effective protective barrier. Staying hydrated can help prevent wrinkles and lines from becoming noticeable, too. Two of the most important barri- ers protecting the skin are sebum, a substance secreted by sebaceous glands to reduce water loss and pre— vent infection, and pH (alkalinity or acidity). The low pH of the skin‘s sur— face helps protect against disease- causing bacteria. Most of us maintain a supply of moisturizers especially during the cold, dry winter months. We also can nourish our skin from the inside by enjoying a variety of foods: * Include about 4 to 5 cups of col- orful antioxidant—rich fruits and veg- etables in your daily diet. All forms of fruits and vegetables, including canned, fresh and frozen, count to- ward the daily goal. * Get your omega-3 fatty acids from fatty fish, such as albacore tuna, halibut, mackerel and sardines, and nuts and seeds, such as walnuts and Put Your Money Where Your House Is!

Julie Garden-Robinson Food Nutrition Specialist pumpkin seeds. * Make half your grain choices whole grains for a variety of Vita— mins. Grains provide a variety of vi- tamins. * Enjoy lean meat, poultry, fish, low-fat dairy, beans and other pro- tein—rich foods to provide your body with a variety of nutrients for build- ing and repairing tissues. Stay hydrated during the winter months and all year. Monitor your hydration by checking the color of your urine. It should be light yellow, about the color of straw. On average, women need 9 cups of liquid from beverages and food, and men need 13 cups daily. Fruits and vegetables are very high in water. Keep a pitcher of cold water in your refrigerator to promote water con— sumption, and drink warm beverages such as herbal tea. We have many other ways to take care of our skin during dry, cold months, according to these tips that I is SBBIlilln annlicatiuns tor IIOSIIIOIIS including: your skin this winter adapted from the American Academy of Dermatology: * Shorten your baths or showers to five to 10 minutes. Use Warm water instead of hot water, which is more drying. Use a limited amount of a gentle fragrance—free cleanser, and blot skin gently dry. * Choose gentle skin care prod- ucts. Deodorant soaps and/0r prod- ucts with alcohol and fragrances tend to be harsh on your skin. * Apply a moisturizer right after washing your hands or face or drying off after taking a shower. Ointments, creams and other moisturizers work by trapping moisture in your skin. * Read the ingredients on the moisturizer. Shea butter, glycerin, lanolin, mineral oil and petrolatum are among the ingredients that are most effective in trapping moisture. * Don‘t forget to wear lip balm to help prevent your lips from cracking. * Don‘t forget your mittens. Pro- tect your skin when you go outside in cold weather. * Use a humidifier to add mois- ture to the air in your home. * Remember that cozying up to a heater or fireplace can be drying to your skin. Keep a little distance and keep your moisturizers nearby.

A dis- trict judge in Bismarck affirmed the decision, and then the ELPC and DRC appealed to the Supreme Court, which is what is now pending. Meridian's attorney, Lawrence Bender of Bismarck, in brief filed with the high court, said an early de- sign for the refinery was that it would have a capacity of 27,500 bpd in its first phase, but later decided that in- stead of a two-phase project, there would be a single-phase refinery with a capacity of 49,500 bpd. Bendé .jwrotealthat an administra- tive law ’- dge determined that the state law for a site permit was clear and unambiguous. "Ifitheyrefinery has an operating I capacity under 50,000 bpd, it is not within the PSC's siting jurisdiction and the party (Meridian) need not ob- tain a certificate of site compatibil— ity," the administrative law judge had said. Bender also pointed out that the administrative law judge had said: "It may be that Meridian originally in- tended to build the refinery in two phases. It may be that they planned to do so in order to try to circumvent PSC jurisdiction for the initial phase and build a second phase later. I may also be that the opposition by peti- tioners and others here caused them to reconsider and downsize the proj— ect to 49,500 bpd in order to avoid PSC jurisdiction. However, even taking all those assumptions as true, the PSC does not have the statutory authorization to assert jurisdiction below its threshold of 50 ,000 bpd or engage in speculation about the com— pany‘s plans for future expansion." . 2019 GVN/BCP 50 yearslago; Dec. 25, 1969: Mrs. Sally Abemethy, kindergarten instructor, with the assistance of Mrs. Beverly Fahlstrom and the kinder- garten students, produced their first Christmas program Monday, Dec. 22, at the Legion Hall.

New year likely to include water rate increase” By Richard Volesky Editor/Reporter It seems likely that water rates throughout the region will again in- crease in 2020. Each year, the Southwest Water Authority (SWA) reviews current and future finances to determine the following year’s budget and any need for rate changes. SWA costs in- clude power, telephone services, heat, fuel, salaries, training, insur- ance, building expenses, vehicle ex- penses, system maintenance and some equipment replacement, ac- cording to a letter that the SWA re- cently sent to cities and its contract customers. "It is important to know SWA does not take rate changes lightly and have recently reduced any un- necessary expenscs to remain cost efficient," Kimberly Turner, SWA accounting and assistant office ad- ministrator, said in the letter. "After extensive review of projected in- come and expenses, SWA’s board of directors approved water increases for 2020 at their November meet- ing." Customers, such as cities, can ask the North Dakota State Water Com- mission (SWC), to take a closer look at rate changes. The SWC has until Feb. 15, 2020, to approve or disap— prove of the SWA's budget. The Beach City Council last month sent a notice to the SWC that said the city was opposed to the increase. Whether each city will have higher rates or would be able to ab- sorb the cost without passing it on depends upon the finances of each city. Typically, the rate each city charges its customers includes an amount to maintain the water sys- tem within each city, plus the amount that the SWA charges for the water. Jill Schatz, deputy Beach city au- ditor, said Beach hasn't been in- formed that the SWC will overturn subscriptions to the This special offer expires December 31,2019.

"The water will in— crease (for Beach reSidents and businesses) .27 cents per thousand gallons, so it will be (a) $13 base, plus $7.02 per thousand gallons," she said in an e-mail. Some of the changes the SWA said would be effective as of Jan. 1: The contract water rate will in— crease from $5 .23/1 ,000 gallons to $5 .50/1 ,000 gallons. The raw water rate for 2020 will increase from $4.30/1,000 gal— lons to $4.47/ 1,000 gallons. Raw water customers do not pay the cost of treatment which is at $1 .05/1 ,000 gallons. - The industrial use rate for 2020 is remaining the same at $12/ 1,000 gallons. The rate for treatment will in— crease to $1.05/ 1,000 gallons and the rate for replacement and ex- traordinary maintenance will stay the same at 70 cents/1,000 gallons. — The rate for operations and maintenance will increase to $2.45/1,000 gallons and the rate for a reserve fund will remain at 7 cents/1,000 gallons. The capital repayment portion of the water rate, which relates to pipeline construction, is tied to the Aug. 31, 2019 Consumer Price Index which was 1.76 percent. The 2020 rate for capital repayment will be $1.23/1,000 gallons, previously it was $1 21/] ,000 gallons. © 2019 GVN Please suppon your local merchants Limited time offer! $5 off subscription prices!
