The 10th annual Adult Win-
ter Reading Program of the Tim-
berland Regional Library begins
this week and continues through
March 31 and is called "Bringing
Home a World of Stories."
Participants have a chance to
win a mini-vacation to enjoy when
warmer weather tempts them out-
doors. To join in, pick up a pro-
gram brochure at a branch library
in Shelton, Hoodsport or Belfair.
The brochure includes the contest
entry form, lists of local and dis-
trictwide prizes, and other infor-
mation.
Those who read or listen to five
or more books during the contest
period are invited to complete an
entry tbrm for each five and return
the forms to the library. "Every
Timberland library has all the de-
tails, and they also have book rec-
ommendations and lists for every
i reader's interests," said Tim Mal-
lory, the library system's coordina-
tor of adult services.
Grand prizes will be drawn on
April 10, with the branch libraries
drawing additional prizes locally
at various times during the pro-
gram. Participants must be age 18
or older and have a current library
card.

David Brandt, 39, tbll through
a hole in the deck outside the
home in the darkness and broke
his right leg and ankle. He had
surgery the next morning at Ma-
son General Hospital.
Brandt has been a volunteer
with the Union fire department
for the past year and a half and
said it will be some 12 weeks be-
fore he's back on his feet.
Captain Jim Nutt of the fire
district contacted officials at The
Scooter Store in Seattle to see
about getting one of their motor-
ized devices on loan for Brandt to
use around his home.
John Oban of the Seattle store
said the corporation has a pro-
gram named The Gift of Mobil-
ity, which gives away a couple of
the devices each month around
the nation to people who have no
insurance and have lost their mo-
bility.
"Jim called me and explained
the deal," Oban said. "We have
never done it as a loaner before,
but it sounded great." He took
Nutt's request further up the
corporate chain and got approval
from a vice president.
So on the morning of December
22, Oban and Bryan Rosino drove
a van down from Seattle with one
of their Scooters and presented it
to Brandt at his home in Union.
Other members of the fire depart-
ment had already constructed a
ramp with a non-skid surface lead-
ing to the back door of Brandt's
home to make it easier for him to
get in and out of his house.
"The community has been
great," the injured firefighter said.
The New Community Church of
Union has brought meals to his
home.
"It was the first time I broke
anything except my nose," Brandt
said.

result, the tired muscles tranMbr the

results in the tiny crack known as
a "stress fracture." Studies indicate
timt fenmle athletes experience stress
fractures more frequently than their
male counterparts. Researchers have
recently found that an underlying
cause of this disparity is likely to
be the wider prevalence of eating
disorders among female athletes.
Specifically, it has been ibund that
female college athletes who restrict
their caloric intake may be putting
themselves at risk fi)r stress fractures.

Charges filed
in brush with
deadly weapon
Two men arrested after alleg-
edly stealing just over $100 in
huckleberry brush from three peo-
ple while armed with a shotgun
were arraigned recently in Mason
County Superior Court.
Jake Edward Green, 27, of 10
North Valley Drive, Shelton, and
Jonathan Michael Kramer, 30,
of 31 Sail Loft Court, Belfair, are
charged with robbery in the first
degree. Kramer was arraigned on
December 18 and entered a not-
guilty plea; Green pled not guilty
on December 22. The men are
scheduled for pretrial hearings on
January 29 and trials during the
jury term beginning February 6.
Green and Kramer were arrest-
ed on December 7 by deputies of
the Mason County Sheriffs Office
who said they were responding to a
report around noon from Mateo A.
Santiago and Nicolas A. Santiago.
The alleged victims said they had
been robbed of a day's work cutting
huckleberry on leased property 'off
Manke Road in Dewatto.
MATEO SANTIAGO, who was
being treated for injuries to his
hand, reportedly told deputies two
white men jumped him and yelled
that he was trespassing. He said
he told them he had permits to
pick brush. Mate0 Santiago said
one of the men punched him and
threatened to kill him while the
other man was holding a shot-
gun. Mateo Santiago had a broken
thumb.
Nicolas Santiago provided a
similar account to deputies. He
said he and his wife walked away
when they saw one of the men with
a black shotgun. He said the men

PROPER PROTECTION
AGAINST MALARIA
If you are traveling to a tropical coun-
try, malaria prophylaxis needs to be pre-
scribed by a medical professional who
is familiar with all the available medi-
cations as well as current resistance
patterns, your personal itinerary and
your particular health needs. Medication
needs to begin before you leave home,
and continue for several weeks after you
return. Resistant forms of malaria have
now spread to most of the developing
world. The most popular form of malaria
prophylaxis used to be chloroquine,
but this drug is now ideffective against
most strains of malaria worldwide;
therefore, chloroquine must be taken
in combination with another drug such
as proguanil. Currently, mefloquine is
recommended most by travel medicine
specialists, but some individuals can
not take this drug, so other regimens
must be used. Protective clothing,
DEET-containing insecticides, and bed
nets are also recommended. NO type
of malaria prophylaxis is 100% effec-
tive. Even if you take your medicine as
prescribed, you can still get malaria and
should see a doctor if you have a fever
after returning from a malarious area.
