HeuKh Happening Heart Association director to visit Mended Hearts here Mason General Hospital's next Mended Hearts Support Group session will feature Andrew Alexander, Southwest Washington's regional director for the American Heart Asso- ciation. He'll speak at the support group's meeting at 7 p.m. April 15 in the Washington Room at MGH. Fie will talk about the heart association's goals, its benefits and classes, and the association's new efforts to expand into stroke prevention. Deanna Walker, a registered nurse at the hospital and coordinator of the group, says each meeting in- cludes discussions, informative topics, social interaction and mutual support. The group's primary goal, she notes, is to en- courage and support patients and their families at a time when they are dealing with major lifestyle changes including diet, exercise and stress management. More information is avail- able from Ellen Julius at 426-1611. Search artqJ Rescue seeks new members Mason County Mobile Search and Rescue is in need of new members, says spokesperson Sta- cy Ogg.

Anyone with questions about search and rescue is welcome to contact Ogg at 432-9562 or Roger Lewis at 426-8248. Jim Smith The Medicine Shoppe ฎ Pharmacy Diabetes -- Risk Factors i,iii If you have two or more of these symptoms, talk to your doc- tor about having a fasting blood glucose test: age 55 or older; more than 20% above ideal weight; lack of regular exercise; poor eating habits; family members with dia- betes; Black, Hispanic. Native American or Hawaiian, western- ized Asian; history of gestational diabetes; gave birth to a baby weighing more than 9 pounds. Diabetes no longer has to dras- tically limit a person's lifestyle. Old restrictive diets have given way to smaller servings of healthy food throughout the day, focusing on whole grain s , vegetables and fruit, small portions of lean meats and low-fat dairy products. Proper weight control, nutrition and regu- lar physical activity can often con- trol diabetes without the use of insulin or other medications. NiItonil PTtlctiplJon Cenl|tl 1-800-640-5503 207 Professional Way 426-4272 (Across from the hospital) MCCAN tips can help teens avoid sex-assault situations This week is Sexual Assault Awareness Week, say the volunteers and staffers at Mason County Council on Abuse and Ne- glect (MCCAN). That's a good time to note that a survey of more than a thousand teenagers conduct- ed by the state office of crime victims advoc- acy has indicated that sexual assault is sec- ond only to child abuse as the largest prob- lem faced by teens in Washington. That's a bigger issue for them, noted a spokesperson for the agency, than gun violence, drug and alcohol abuse, pregnan- cy, smoking and domestic violence. NATIONAL STATISTICS report that one of every four girls is sexually assaulted by the time she reaches the age of 18. "Sexual violence is a reality for many teens. In fact, the majority of female rape victims know their attacker," says a press release from MCCAN. "Of the teenage girls who are victims of sexual assault, 56 percent are raped by a date, 30 percent by a friend and 11 percent by a boyfriend." State and local sexual assault prevention advocates have launched a youth-focused media campaign designed by teens them- selves in 1998. Radio spots and posters with 'Dominoes' at port: Emergency offices tM?.on Ea00= w!t?e00mili00tatlin?ll0000tion. will be occupied by the DNR, he added. Bolender asked whether or not there would be a net increase in square footage for the lease since port leases are based on that allo- cation. If so, he inquired of Mur- ray, could the budget accom- modate the increase? "I do not anticipate any in- crease in square footage," Mur- ray responded. "I have done the mathematics. It is not an as- sumption." The amended lease agree- ment was approved contingent Management will be moving to new digs at Sanderson Field fol- lowing approval Tuesday by the Mason County commissioners of an amended lease agreement with the Port of Shelton. Joe Murray, emergency man- agement director, told commis- sioners John Bolender and Cin- dy Olsen the modification of the lease and the move were the re- sult of a "domino effect." County offices would relocate from Building 2 in the former Certi- fied Aerospace complex, which emergency management shared with Olympic Tool, to the site of ...... the 1999 th9 current:port offices ,and: D, 2etDln:&nlr i ptmentl of, Natural Res0ttgces ,i.._. -.. .................. : the ease, WAtAA LLLCl ..L b office at Sanderson Field Indus- ; , Murray told the board he would present the amended agreement at the Port of Shelton meeting on Wednesday.

Radio messages and posters aimed at girls affirm, "No is never wrong. It's your right." To encourage extra vigilance during Sex- ual Assault Awareness Week and during a time of year when many teens start think- ing about prom season, sexual assault pre- vention tips for boys and girls have been de- veloped by national organizations, the Washington Coalition for Sexual Assault Programs and MCCAN Sexual Assault Ad- vocacy. Those tips include the following: FOR ALL TEENS: • Know your own sexual desires and lim- its. Talk openly about sex and your limits and keep talking as you get deeper into a relationship. • Ask yourself how sexual stereotypes af- fect your attitudes and actions toward another person. • Be careful not to let alcohol or other drugs decrease your ability to take care of yourself and make sensible decisions. FOR GIRLS: • Trust your gut feelings. If you feel un- comfortable about a situation, pay attention to those feelings. If, the way he acts makes you nervous or uneasy, get out. • Be alert for signs of disrespect for your boundaries and limits. Be wary of anyone who puts you down or who tries to control how you dress or your choice of friends. • Check out a first date or a blind date with friends. • Don't leave a party, concert or social event with someone you just met or don't know well. FOR GUYS: • Don't assume a girl wants to have sex because she is dressed a certain way, is friendly or has been drinking. • Listen to what a girl says. Accept her decision when she says "no" and under- stand that "no" is not a challenge to try harder. • Realize that forcing a girl to have sex against her will is rape, a serious, violent crime with drastic consequences. Staff and volunteers at MCCAN advise teens that becoming a victim of sexual as- sault bears no stigma of fault on the vic- tim's part. Anyone who becomes such a vic- tim, they say, can call MCCAN at 426-6925 or 1-800-268-1057. Port commission roundup: Davolio says port's site is logical place for rail facility Consultant Michael Davolio gave an update on the Rail Fea- sibility Study at the Wednesday, April 7, meeting of the Shelton Port Commission. He said he's been looking at three sites in the Johns Prairie area. "All of these sites have one thing in common and that is that they are relatively level and easy to work with," he said. Each of the sites is about eight acres in size and would cost several hundred thousand dollars to develop for railroad use. He said the port property at Johns Praixie is  logical place for such i'faeilKy, ............ " "One'Of the adqantages of stay- ing on this site is you've got a number of businesses that would be a ready market for this facili- ty," Davolio said. Davolio said the Mason County government indicated it might want to use the proposed facility for its solid-waste program. He also said he has contacted some local business people and found that some are curious about the proposal. "There does seem to be some kind of interest in what this site would do for them," he said. Davolio said he hopes to have the feasibility study finished ASSET testing April 21 Olympic College Shelton is scheduling ASSET testing on Wednesday, April 21. Those planning to enroll in an English composition or math class for credit at Olympic College Shelton must take the ASSET test, which assesses one's basic skills in reading, writing and math. The test lasts some two and a half hours. There is no fee. The test will be given starting at 9 a.m. on April 21. Those who want to take the test can call 432-5400 to schedule an appointment. Summer session at the college begins June 21. within the next four to six weeks. In other business the commis- sion: • Voted 3-0 to authorize the seeking of bids for a new comput- er system. Interim Auditor George Fox said the new system could be installed in conjunction with the move to new port offices in the old Shelton Moose Hall. • Voted 3-0 to approve a lease of the rest of the Moose hall to the Washington Department of Natural Resources. The DNR plans to establish a regional office there starting May 15. "It meets their requirements. They're will- ing occupants," Acting Port Direc- tor Norm Eveleth said. • Voted 3-0 in favor of a resolu- tion changing its meeting dates. The commission will go back to holding a workshop on the first Wednesday of each month and a regular meeting on the second Wednesday. THE HEALTH CARE CENTER COMMUNITY WOMEN'S CLINIC CONNIE P.
