Booted up to AAAA level, Sheltc00n looks for answers (Continued from page 1.) ant and wouldn&apos;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. Other options could see Shel- 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. Geneal,a,gy classes available at LDS church's history site Great Britain led by Les and Dot Perry the first three Tuesdays in March; and a unit on searching the Internet on March 23, led by Diana Searles. A workshop by Shirley Smith called "Traveling to the Source" will be held on March 30, and ses- sions through April on using lo- cality records will be led by Kay Speigle. All the classes are free. Partic- ipants should bring a notebook and pen. The "FamilySearch" computer is available at other times, notes Andrea Densley, director of the local family history center. Hours at the center are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays. To verify hours or reserve time on the computer, in- terested root-searchers can call 426-2805. 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, are not admitted.

The play's action is "an age day in the life of Brown," according to The day, he explains, "is up of little moments from all the days of Brown, from Valentine's Day the baseball season, glee rehearsal to kite-flying and bit chasing.
