ant and wouldn't be eligible for
league championships, Hundley
said, A winning Highclimber
team, though, could become eligi-
ble for state playoffs at the 4-A
level despite playing within a 3-A
league.
"IT IS A JOLT," said
Matthes. "It was a shock. They
(WIAA) count differently than we
do."
Matthes said she's hoping the
athletic directors of the Pacific 9
League will let Shelton explore
options within that league.
"there's so much unknown right
now. We don't know how things
will work out," she said.
There are mixed leagues that
contain teams from 3-A and 4-A
schools. One such is the Narrows
League, whose members include
South Kitsap, Capital, Peninsula
and others.

Rotary's science fair
set for March 19, 20
The 16th annual Mason Coun-
ty Science and Engineering Fair
will be held March 19 and 20 in
the Shelter High School Student
Union Building.
All students in kindergarten
through eighth grade, who attend
school or a home-study program
in Mason County are eligible to
participate. Individual projects
may explore any math or science
topic that is of special interest to
the student. Applications have
been sent to the schools and to
the home-study students or their
contact persons, said planners of
the event.
The deadline for submitting
applications is February 24. Stud-
ents will check in and set up their
exhibits inside the SHS Student
Union Building on March 19.
Activities on fair day, March
20, include judging, public view-
ing, science activities and an
awards ceremony. Awards will in-
clude trophies and cash.
Last year's science fair attract-
ed 164 exhibits. Drew O'Leary,
Lia Pittman and Melissa Speigle
won best-of-show awards. Some of
the entries included: "Do seeds
like it hot or cold?" "The effects of
pollution on sea life" and "How
batteries work."
The fair is sponsored by Skoo-
kum Rotary Club. Chairpersons
are Teri King and Emily Garlich.
ton joining a more distant 4-A
league, such as one in Vancouver.
That would mean more travel,
more costs and more time out of
class for athletes because of the
extended travel time, Hundley
said.
SHELTON ALSO could be-
come an independent team affili-
ated with no league, but that may
make it harder to schedule games
with schools that are in leagues
and are obligated to play teams
within their leagues.
"Four-A, we're playing with the
big guys now," Matthes said, ad-
ding there are only about 65 such
schools in the state. "The tough
part is we may be having to travel
more." She says she sees the
change in a positive light, as a
challenge SHS students must rise
to. "It's something not to be
scared of."
The most immediate, challenge
facing school officials is figuring
out what league ShelteR might
join. "People are setting their fall
schedules now. It's important to
know," Matthes said.

ANDREA SAYS such centers
are located throughout the world
A series of free genealogy class-
es is scheduled for Tuesday
nights from January through
June at the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints in
Shelton.
The first session of a four-week
course to open the series will be-
gin at 7 p.m. January 26 at the
church at 12th and Connection
streets on Mountain View. The
month-long session, taught by
Sue Sabin, will focus on using
census records to trace ancestors.
It will continue February 2, 9 and
16.
Subsequent topics will cover a
diversity of topics such as Swed-
ish research, British genealogy
and using the Internet for re-
search. The classes are presented
as a service to the community by
the ShelteR LDS Family History
Center (FHC).
UPCOMING sessions include
a one-night course on Swedish re-
search led by Mike Ports Febru-
cestors. "Several large files of
family history information are
available via computer at the
center," she says. "Volunteers are
on hand to help newcomers feel
comfortable using these files."
One of the files, titled Ances-
tral File, Densley continues, is a
compilation of genealogies con-
tributed by the public. It contains
millions of names linked into fam-
ily pedigrees.
Another, the Intlnational Ge-
nealogical Index, lists dates and
places of births, christenings and
marriages of millions of people
who lived from 1500 to the early
1900s.
The Family History Library
Catalog, another offering, is also
available at the Shelter FHC,
Densley says. It lists holdings of
the main Family History Library
in Salt Lake City, Utah. "This ge-
nealogy library," Densley ex-
plains, "has over two million rolls
of microfilm containing copies of
I00 countries. Copies of many of
these films may be ordered at the
ShelteR FHC for a small rental
fee."
THE SHELTON Family His-
tory Center is open to the public
regardless of religious affiliation,
as are the Tuesday night gene-
alogy classes. Densley states that
classroom seating is available on
a first-arrival basis.
Children under 12, she says,
