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.
HE SAID A program for con-

which will include an eight-day

will be a program for families
with separate sessions for adults

Saturday morning.
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.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE president Jeff Geibel
hands a plaque to Faith Davenport at last week's meet-

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.

Bone Density
Testing
A bone density test may benefit
some adults, but not everyone needs
one. 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.
