A 30-year-old Shelton woman,
Sally Jo Braun, collapsed and
died at a Timberlakes residence
on Saturday.
Mason County Coroner Martha
Reed said Braun was visiting a
friend's home on Lakeshore Drive
when she went outside and col-
lapsed. Fire District 5 medics re-
sponded to the call, administered
aid and transported Braun to Ma-

was pronounced dead.
Reed said an autopsy report
was not conclusive and that her
office is waiting for a toxicology
report to assist in determining
the cause of death.

HELP FOR HEADACHES
There is a logical connection be-
tween the spine, which fundlons as a

For instance, cradling a telephone re-
ceiver on the shoul-
der for prolonged
periods may disrupt
proper nerve func-
tion to cause head-
aches. By looking at
the system in its total
context, chiroprac-
tors may be able to

very effective manner. In a study pub-
lished in the Journal of Manipulation
and Physiological Therapy that com-
pared patients who had undergone six
weeks of spinal manipulation with oth-
ers who had been treated with
amitripyline (an antidepressant com-
monly prescribed to control severe
headache pain) for the same period,
the chiropractic patients experienced
about 30% less pain that the medicated
patients.

AIDS Walk's in the we

ber 25, and planners hope to raise
$4,500 for services to Mason
County victims of AIDS and HIV.
Last year's effort, says Mason
County HIV-AIDS Advisory
Council spokesperson Merridee
Anderson, raised nearly $3,900.
"All of the funds we raise at the
AIDS Walk are used locally to
provide services in Mason
County," Anderson said.
Anderson urged participation
in the AIDS Walk by everyone in-
terested in the plight of victims of
human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) and acquired immune defi-
ciency syndrome (AIDS). Those
who want to help can do so by
walking the one-mile or three-
mile routes on Mountain View,
supporting a walker or making an
outright donation at the event,
which will start and end at the
Wal-Mart parking lot in North
Shelton.
"THERE ARE so many
needs," Anderson said in a recent
interview. "There are so many
things that aren't covered by in-
surance or basic health." It was
with the various needs of AIDS
and HIV sufferers in mind that
the advisory council took shape in
the first place, she noted.

in advocating for those people in

"Our funding priorities," she
said, "are to provide direct ser-

medical appointments, emergency
housing and utility assistance,
medications not covered by in-
surance, and counseling services
to people infected with HIV or

Anderson instanced some walkers
who get donations from friends
for the distances they cover; kids

and volunteers who have put to-

ber 25, and planners hope to raise
$4,500 for services to Mason
County victims of AIDS and HIV.
Last year's effort, says Mason
County HIV-AIDS Advisory
Council spokesperson Merridee
Anderson, raised nearly $3,900.
"All of the funds we raise at the
AIDS Walk are used locally to
provide services in Mason
County," Anderson said.
Anderson urged participation
in the AIDS Walk by everyone in-
terested in the plight of victims of
human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) and acquired immune defi-
ciency syndrome (AIDS). Those
who want to help can do so by
walking the one-mile or three-
mile routes on Mountain View,
supporting a walker or making an
outright donation at the event,
which will start and end at the
Wal-Mart parking lot in North
Shelton.
"THERE ARE so many
needs," Anderson said in a recent
interview. "There are so many
things that aren't covered by in-
surance or basic health." It was
with the various needs of AIDS
and HIV sufferers in mind that
the advisory council took shape in
the first place, she noted.
