Hospital names Justice its Employee of Month Debi Justice, a certified nursing assistant and a unit secretary in the medical, surgical and pediatric unit, is the Employee of the Month for Febru- ary at Mason General Hospital. She began working at Mason Gen- eral in housekeeping seven years ago and then attended South Puget Sound Community College to receive her cer- tified nursing assistant degree. That's when she was transferred to the medi- cal, surgical and pediatric unit. "I love it here," she said. "The peo- ple are kind and caring. We are a huge family." Justice went on to say she loves her job as a unit secretary and can "make a difference in someone's life" as a nursing assistant. She said Mason General offers some "wonderful educa- tional opportunities." She took classes that have enabled her to become an in- Debi Justice structor in basic lifb support. She also helps to teach classes in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. When Justice is not working, she enjoys being a mother to three sons and a daughter. She and her husband, Roy, have built their new home together. Dramas to help I,iberian church Kellen Gold, a senior at Shel- ton High School, will present fi)ur short plays tomorrow night.

Even though most people find sitting to be more comfortable than standing, sitting places more stress on the lower back than standing. Now, research goes one step farther to say that sitting up straight is not the best posture for sitting. While many people consider a 90-degree body-thigh sit- ting posture to be correct, a 135-de- gree body-thigh sitting posture places less stress on the back and spine. This conclusion was reached after analyzing the spines of subjects who assumed different sitting postures. A new form of magnetic resonance imag- ing (MRI) helped researchers see the impact of these various postures on the spine. If you sit for long periods and experience lower-back pain, have To get there, take Exit Interstate 5 to Tumwater ] levard, drive east to Way and take a left to Building.
