RICH WALKER, Shelton's number one golfer, shot a 75 at Elma on Friday
but his Highclimber team failed to qualify for state.
The Wind lew... But...
by CHARLES GAY
Shelton's Highclimbers lived
up to their 8-0 league record on
the cinders when they won the
subdistrict title in a stormy
Olympia last Saturday by
amassing 105 points to beat
second place Aberdeen's 92 total.
Rob Settle added to his
lengthy list of records by
snatching another in this meet. He
sailed over the high jump bar set
at 6'4" to break the old
subdistrict record of 6'3". Settle
took one of four Shelton firsts.
Rocky Nutt made several
points for the Climbers. The
senior won the 180 yard low
hurdles in a wind-hampered time
of 22.6 (he holds the school
record of 20.9), took third in the
high hurdles and another third in
the high jump. The weather for
the meet was miserable. Wind and
rain pelted the athletes,
hampering times. The two meet
records that were set were in field
events.
Shelton's mile relay team of
Paul Rogerson, Chris Elmlund,
Tracy Armstrong and George
Lemagie, which holds the school
record, won the subdistrict race
with a 3:34.2 clocking. Lemagie
battled it out with Aberdeen's
Shannon Ferguson in the 440.
Ferguson won in 52.1 seconds
and Lemagie, the school record
holder, finished second.
The top four places from the
subdistrict meet will compete in
the district get-together next
Saturday in Chehalis. From there,
the two top placers will travel to
State at the University of
Washington on May 29.
Senior Dave Knauf collected
the Highclimbers' other first
place. He tossed the javelin 162
feet, ten inches to beat the rest of
the field. Team mate Clay Keith
was third in the spear throwing to
earn a trip to district.
Settle, the subdistrict high
jump winner, now holds two
sophomore records, two junior
class records, a school record, a
Tumwater Invitational record, a
subdistrict record, and shares high
jump relays records with team
mates at the Longview and
Tomahawk Relays. He is a junior.
Several other Highclimbers
will make the trip to district in
Chehalis. Tom Brigham, junior
weightman, finished fourth in
both the discus and shot put.

Spring is the season when experienced and novice
boatmen alike begin scraping down hulls and decks, mending
sails and painting and varnishing in preparation for a summer
of boating enjoyment on the thousands of Washington lakes
and rivers and miles of ocean waters.
Unfortunately, the season and this preparation are only a
foreboding of ill winds to come for those who may have their
weekends ruined, or more tragically, lose their lives in
boating accidents.
Last year, the Coast Guard reported 3,803 boating
accidents in the United States, accounting for the tragic loss
of 1,418 lives.
In addition to lives lost, 4,762 boats were da g d
totaling $8,172,200 in property damage. In the last five
Soph George Miller will go in the years, 6,740 people have died in boating accidents in the
pole vault. He tied for fourth, nation; and $34,564,300 in property damage has been done
Shelton's 880 relay team was to every type of boat, from the family six-foot dinghy to the
fourth. Juniors Rich James and executive s 60-foot yacht.
Mike Hays finished third and
JUNIOR TIM FREDSON carded an 83 in Friday's district tournament. He is

Bears got out of the situation
unhurt.
In the second, Neal White
walked to start off the
Highclimbers' batting order. Doug
Long advanced White with a
single and White stole third to get
into scoring position for Kevin
Dorcy's sacrifice fly to left. The
run made it a tie game at 1-1.
One inning later, the Climbers
scored again. Mike Nutt led off
with a single and moved to third
on Bill Bacon's single He scored
on Duane Makoviney's sacrifice
bunt. The scoreboard read 2-1 in
Shelton's favor. 'Ferry Knight got
the third Shelton run in the
bottom of the fourth on Olympia
mistakes. He was walked, took
second on a wild pitch, third on
another wild pitch, and went
home on the catcher's error.
Shelton held the 3-1 lead until
the top of the seventh. The
starting pitcher was Terry Knight.
He had two men on with one out
when he was relieved by Mike
Johnson. Johnson walked another
man and gave up two hits. He
took the loss. Four Bears scored.
The Climbers tried without
success to get the needed runs
back. Kevin Dorcy singled, sent to
second base on a passed ball and
stole third. Bill Bacon was hit by
a pitch and stole second. These
two were left stranded on the
bases in the last of the seventh.
It was the eleventh loss of the
season for the horsehiders against
five wins. Their next game is
Monday, May 24 at Hoquiam. On
May 26 they travel to Tumwater.

These are remarkable totals when you consider that most
people take to the water to get away from it all.
In Washington last year, there was a total of 121 boating
accidents which caused the deaths of 49 Washington boatmen
and injured 18 others. Total property damage from the
accidents totaled $305,700. In the last five years, people
have died in boating accidents in Washington; and
$1,973,300 in property damage has occurred.
Coast Guard statistics clearly illustrate that in over half of
the boating accidents, the operator was at fault.
Vessels capsizing as a result of operator mishandling is by
far the most consistent cause of lives lost in boating
accidents. Chief among the operators' faults are improper
loading or overloading of the boat, ignoring weather warnings
and proceeding under unfavorable weather conditions, and
operating in waters which exceed the limits of the craft
and/or the operator's training or experience.
Personal injuries in boating accidents are primarily caused
by collision which is, again, the result of fault by the
operator. The increasing popularity of water skiing and the
failure of the boat's Operator to maintain a forward lookout
is a dangerous combination on the water.
The majority of the over $8 million in property damage
to boats last year was caused by fires and explosions which
were directly related to some fault of, again, the operator.
Many of these, the Coast Guard points out, could have been
prevented with proper ventilation equipment for fuel
systems.
A Coast Guard brochure dramatically illustrates the
importance of proper ventilation when it describes 'the
potential explosive force of one cup of gasoline spilled in the
bilges as equal to 15 sticks of dynamite.
It is evident from these statistics and a predicted record
number of over 100,000 boats tooling around Washington's
waterways and over 5,000,000 boats in the nation, tha!
caution and common sense at the rudder and wheel could be
lifesavers this summer.
