CRISTA Ministries, Welch said, is based in Seattle and has ten different ministries includ- ing two schools, two youth camps, three radio stations and a job placement service. The group took over Alder- brook October 1 and since then has spent about $850,000 on reno- vations and improvements. All of the motel rooms as well as the meeting rooms have been re- decorated. The bar was closed when the group took over, he said, and that space is now being used as a coffee shop and snack shop. It has a less formal atmosphere, he said, than the dining room which remains as it was pre- viously. Work on some of the outer buildings has also been complet- ed, Welch said, including a heating and cooling system in the swimming pool building and a heating system in the real es- tate office. Several projects are still in the works, he said, in- cluding a new keying system. Necessary dock work is planned for this summer. The decking is worn out and will be replaced, he said.

The programs will incorpo- rate two worship services on Sundays and one each on the other days. Mealtimes will be flexible to allow families time to arrange their schedules. The meetings, he said, will be open to the public at no charge although a freewill offering will be taken. The group is working toward booking corporate, educational and religious groups into the facilities, Welch said. The goal is to have a 60 percent occupancy rate, with weekends and sum- mers the easiest to fill. He said work is planned on the water system and waste out- fall for which the permit must be renewed by 2001. The real estate operation will continue, Welch said, indicating that Alderbrook has about 300 lots left to be sold. Andrea Buser and Carolyn St. James spoke to the group seeking support for the Shelton clock tow- er project. Construction on the clock tower, to be located in the Evergreen Square parking lot, is planned for August, Buser said. Those interested can buy bricks, benches and bronze plaques to help with the financing of the project. County Commissioner Mary Jo Cady told the group the "world class" slide on Highway 101 in the Lilliwaup area will not go away quickly. She said the coun- ty is trying to find a way for those stranded by the slide to get in and out. The slide is having an im- pact on businesses in the area, she said, and they face a tough season. Ground in the area is still moving and some homes in the area have been evacuated, she added, noting that the county is submitting an application for federal aid of $8 to $10 million. Chamber president Jeff Geibel presented a plaque in apprecia- tion for her work with the cham- ber to Faith Davenport, who is leaving her job in the chamber office. Pioneer Middle School names honor students Pioneer Middle School has an- nounced its honor roll of seventh- and eighth-grade students who achieved scholastic distinction during the first semester of the 19.98-1999 school year.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE president Jeff Geibel hands a plaque to Faith Davenport at last week's meet- ing at Alderbrook Inn near Union. Davenport, who is leaving her post in the chamber office, was lauded for her work on behalf of the organization. There have been other changes recently at the chamber. Earlier, Michele Jennings, the chamber's executive director, resigned after some two years to take a job with the Shelton Fire Department. And late last week, Shelton resident Dick Taylor was named the chamber's new ex- ecutive director to replace Jennings. Time change noted in herb garden class Information on the final Coun- try Living classes from Mason County Cooperative Extension came out with an error in time, says a spokesperson for the pro- gram. The class "Herbs from A to Z" is set to run from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 20, at the Tim- berland North Mason Library Meeting Room on State Route 3 in Belfair. Master Gardener Mary Woods will teach the class on gardening with herbs, the final course in the series. The class will cover as- pects of herb-gardening including general care, taking cuttings, har- vesting and using herbs in land- scaping. The phone number to call to register is 426-9670, Extension 396, or 275-4467, Extension 396. A $5 fee will be collected at the session.

Osteoporosis mainly affects older women, and women have less bone tissue and lose bone faster with age lhan men. Therefore .test- ing may be most useful for women who are not on hormone replace- ment therapy and regularly use ste- roids, thyroid medication or alcohol, or have arthritis, Type I diabetes, chronic liver or kidney disease or a family history of osteoporosis. The best time to have this test may be around menopause; this can also serve as a baseline if future testing is done. An accurate test that is often recommended is a dual-energy X- ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) test of the spine and hip, which can detect even a 1% bone loss. New portable testing machines which measure bone mass in the forearm and wrist are now appearing. While these tests may be more convenient and less expensive than those avail- able from your doctor, they may also be less accurate and most useful for screening.
