River

years old -- we never had leftovers," Anton-
sen said.
The most memorable experience of the
trip, she said, was an "unintentional swim."
While many of the trees along the river
were very small, in one stretch of the river.
willow trees grew taller, and their branches
extended down to the riverbanks. On the
fourth day of the trip, Antonsen's boat drifted
too close to shore and she got tangled in some
of those branches.
"I got into a fight with a willow," she said.
"It caught me right in the ribs and threw me
in the water. I said "bye bye' to the raft."
Antonsen ended up waist deep in the fast-
flowing river, clinging to the very branches
that knocked her out of the boat in order to
stay upright.
It didn't take long for the group's two
guides to pull her out of the water, and after
drying off and having something to eat, An-
tonsen and the rest of the group were back on
their way.
Antonsen said she was sorry to come home
after her Alaskan rafting trip and is eagerly
planning her next adventure -- traveling to
the Queen Charlotte Islands in British Co-
lumbia. Canada.
Shooting
Continued from page A-1
back-up officer pursued Ivie
for a short distance where
Ivie stopped.
Byrd said that as the
back-up deputy exited his
vehicle with his patrol rifle,
Ivie turned and sped toward
the back-up officer. Fearing
for his life the deputy fired
his rifle.
The suspect was hit and
drove off the road over an
embankment.
Deputies and firefight-
ers were able to rescue Ivie
after considerable effort to
stabilize him and get him
out of the vehicle and up
the embankment. Ivie was
transported to Mason Gen-
eral Hospital by ambulance.
No deputies were injured in
the incident.
Officers from the Region
3 Shooting Team will be in-
vestigating the shooting.
The Region 3 Shooting
Team is comprised of offi-
cers from multiple agencies
from Thurston, Grays Har-
bor, Mason, Lewis and Pa-
cific counties.
Detectives say the shoot-
ing preliminarily appears to
be justified, Byrd said.
MTA
Continued from page A-1
The authority intends to buy the lots. on
Railroad Avenue for $156.000. The MTA
has an option to buy the properties until the
end of February.
This week, environmental testing on the
land got underway.
If the test results are satisfactory, the
MTA plans to buy the lots. In the future,
the land may be incorporated into the tran-
sit community center.
Oakland Bay

classroom instruction to meet
the varying needs of individ-
ual students, and focused on
relationships built on respect
with those students.
'~Ne're really working hard
~o build relationships with
students ... and trying to
make our school a more posi-
tive and welcoming school en-
vironment." Budge said.
Four years ago, the school
implemented a daily advisory
period, in which each teach-
er has about 20 students in
their class.
'~Ve wan~ to have at least
one teacher that they can re-
late to and can advocate for
them." Budge said. "It's try-
ing to establish mutual re-
spect that's been kind of a big
push over the last four years."
Oakland Bay teacher Dan
Kass said he teaches children
with severe reading chal-
lenges.
"If they need suppor~ we
make sure to give them sup-
port," he said.
Kass said the school now
uses a technique called differ-
entiated instruction. Students
who are working at their
grade level, who are moder-
ately to very challenged, can
take a class that focuses on
their individual needs.
For example, when a stu-
dent has trouble reading,
they go to a class like Kass'.
which is designed to catch
them up to their grade level.
When that student begins
reading at his or her grade
level, they return to their
regular English class.
"The first thing we did was
we decided we were going to
improve," Kass Said. "I think
every member of the staff
took it personally."
The school offers after-
school "student support"
Monday through Thursday,
and extra support for stu-
dents struggling with read-
ing and math.
The most marked improve-
ment came in the school's
math scores, Budge said.
Oakland Bay math teach-
er Gretchen Reinhart said
teachers at the school work
together to find the best way
to present material to stu-
dents.
'%Ve are working together
to make sure we are aligned
with each other as well as
state standards," she said.
Working with students on
a personal level and encour-
aging them to take pride in
their work has made a huge
difference. Reinhart said.
"Confidence is a huge,
huge issue with math ... the
hard part is getting them to
persevere," she said. "I'm re-
ally proud of how hard the
kids worked last year."
While the school has
shown improvement over the
past two years, Budge said
this isn't the end of the road.
"I want to recognize we're
not where we want to be yet,"
he said. "We're just continu-
ing to do what we know ~s
working. We're continuing to
build a culture of academic
excellence."
Oakland Bay Junior High
staff plans to continue class-
es like Kass', which cater to
children with challenges, but
also add accelerated classes
at the school, m prepare stu-
dents for high school and col-
lege.
"Our students are as capa-
ble as any student across the
state," Budge said.
