Some say that Keith Tinner's
47.2 440-yard dash ir, the 1974
Shelton Invitational was the finest
individual effort ever witnessed
by Sheiton track fans. The
Lincoln of Tacoma runner posted
the second fastest clocking in the
nation last year for any high
school quarter-miler.
Others will argue that some of
the Shelton thinclads of the
mid-sixties, had they been given

Controversy flared two
seasons ago when several Shelton
Junior lligh School girls wanted
to compete with the boys on the
school's track team. They were
denied that opportunity.
Persistent, these young
athletes did not give up. This year
most of these same girls will be
competing for the Highclimber
girls track squad against girls from
the rest of the Black Hills League.
No less than 70 hopefuls have
turned out for Coach Judy
Keeley's 1975 track team.
"It's too eady to tell," said
Coach Keeley when asked to
evaluate her squad, "but we will
be competitive."

When a ballclub comes off a
3-13 season it usually has no way
to look but up. That is not the
case, barring miracles, with the
'75 Highclimber baseball team.
Unable to boast even one
starting pitcher, the Climbers
could suffer through one of their
longest campaigns. No one is
more aware of it than head coach
Harlan Buitenveld.
"We developed two pretty
fine throwers in Rob Simmons
and TerN Dion over the past two
seasons, moans Buitenveld,"and
now they have both transferred.
We just have to start all over and,
believe me, anyone who can
throw the baseball will get a close
look."
With this in mind, Buitenveld
will try to exploit the talent he
has. With the pitching corps
razor-thin, versatile Mike Marshall
might be called upon to twirl at
times. One of the better hitters in
Black Hills League competition,
Marshall would be sorely missed
Indoor tennis in Shelton?
"Could be," says Shelton
tennis coach AI Hopp, "if ,we can
iron out gearing problems and get
some open dates."
Once again the mini-dome
may play host to another first in
Shelton. With this in mind, coach
Hopp and his netters have
embarked on their 1975
campaign, a campaign that will
carry them through 18
head-to-head battles, mostly
against Black Hills League
competition.
The Climbers, undefeated in
league competition and B.II.L
champions in 1974, are heavy
favoriles to repeat.
The Climbers lost the
number-one seeded player in
B.H.L. competition, Jack Frost,
through graduation, but Hopp is
quick to point out the addition of
two super freshmen to his 1975
THE WORLD'S

Sheiton's new track surface, could
have possibly turned in a
performance comparable to
Tinner's.
No matter what the outcome
of that argument, however, one
thing is certain: Bill Brickert will
be back for his 18th season. The
dean of Shelton's coaches will
guide Climber track fortunes
again during the 1975 season.
Not overly optimistic,
Brickert does flash a big smile
when asked if his 1975 squad can
However conservative Coach
Keeley's observation, you still get
the feeling that these girls have
worked hard, both on and off the
track, to get where they ate. Any
afternoon you can watch Kristi
Mankc skimming the low hurdles
in near-perfect form or Nancy
Lemagie turning it'on for a few
strides, strides that could take her
into state competition.
With Bill Brickert and his staff
lending assistance to Coach
Kceley, look for the squad to be
competitive, indeed.
There is an intrasquad meet
scheduled this afternoon
(Thursday) at 3 p.m. The regular
season gets underway March 27 at
6 p.m. against Timberline in
Highclimber Stadium.

at shortstop when he is hurling.
Dave Carlson, the
smooth-fielding first baseman,
and Leigh Devaney, the second
baseman, should plug up the right
side capably. Carlson, after his
third letter, should be the
steadying force of the infield.
To add to Buitenveld's woes,
Mike Barieknlan, starting catcher
the past season, will be two weeks
late due to the longer basketball
season.
Dan Fitchitt, the towering
sophomore, will also be late
because of basketball. He is being
counted on heavily to shore up an
already skimpy outfield.
All in all, it does look like a
long season for the Climber
baseballers.
The first league home game is
scheduled for April 2 !. As of this
date the new diamond at the high
school is not playable.
In the Journal's next edition,
we will supply a schedule and site
for the home games.
squad
Bruce Dorcy and Dave
Wicken, tlopp's highly-touted
freshman nelters, have kept the
coaches buzzing with their
free-wheeling style of play. They
will combine for doubles
competition this year.
Dale Campagna, the hustling
little Climber basketballer, may
be ttopp's number one singles
player. Wes Stockwell and Line
Miner may not want to give up
thai honor, though. Both look in
fine shape and have three weeks
of workout time on Campagna.
In second doubles, look for
PautSkipworth and Jim Teberg to
garner quite a few points, says
Hopp. Both are experienced
nelters and know their way
around the court.
With the season already
underway as of March 18, the
Climbers' next home dale is April
3 with North Kitsap.
MORE POWER TO WEIGHT
THAN ANY OTHER SAWS IN THE WORLD
FOR SALES & SERVICE:
duplicate the performance of his
1974 team which took home top
honors in the Tumwater
Invitational, copped the Black
Hills League AA championship,
took first in the AA sub-district,
first in the district and third in
the AA state meet.
"This is a tough act to
follow," opined Brickert, "but
this squad is working hard to
record some achievements of its
own."
Gone is Tony Molinero, last
year's top point getter with 276
points, and considered by many
as one of the better hurdlers in
the state, ltoping Io pick up some
of that slack is Joe Shaub, a
junior transfer from Seattle's
Evergreen High. Shaub, according
to the coaches, is very quick in
the 180-yard low hurdles and
could lend support to an already
strong set of relay teams.
Back for his third and final
season is Marry Settle, the veteran
dash and relay man. Coming off a
season which produced 176
points (a personal high) Settle,
according to teammates, is
prepared for a big year.
Jeff Pill, the Hood Canal
strongboy who gained national
attention putting the shot a
couple of years back, appears
ready to better his effort of 54
feet last year. His discus throw of
152 feet could also tumble.
Brickert's relay teams, always
a strong point in the past, appear
to be as strong as ever for the
coming campaign. The school
record of 3:25.4 for the mile is in
jeopardy, according to the sources
we have contacted.
A "healthy" Gary Nelson
could be one factor and the
addition of Shaub could be
another. They, along with the two
veterans, Settle and Paul
Mortenserl, could make a run for
statewide recognition.
Equally impressive is the
440-yard relay team. Also
boasting a 45 points for and 0
points against record in dual
competition last season, this
school record of 44.9 could also
fall.
A d mittedly, Br ickert is
extlemely weak in the pole vault.
tlis ~mly experienced vaulter from
last year dropped out of school at
mid-term, leaving him with a host
of untested hopefuls.
Some mild surprises could
come from the distance runners.
Dan and Dave Johnson, the twin
brother combo, will be pushing
one another in the mile run. To
all those who have watched them,
lhey could put some life in the
distance runs, something that has
been missing lately for the
Highclimbers.
Again, the highlight of the
season will be the Shelton
Invitational April 26 and 27.
Large lakes or reservoirs that freeze over in the winter can be good
for large rainbows early in the spring.
It varies from lake to lake, but often while there is still ice on one
section of the lake, the big rainbows will move into the rocky shallows,
following nature's urge to spawn. Since rainbows need flowing water,
often these fish never pull off a successful egg laying, but they are there
for bank fishermen.
On other lakes, the good fishing starts a week or two after the last
ice goes, but continues for several weeks.
A good way to catch these big fish is to use a sliding sinker and a
small hook baited with salmon eggs or marshmallows. Then cast out
and let it sit. The sliding sinker lets a trout pick up your bait without
feeling a lot of drag. A marshmallow floats your bait up off the bottom,
where it could otherwise get lost among rocks or weeds.
Dress warmly, for sometimes the wind sweeping off a big lake early
in the spring can be frigid.

Most motor homes, trailers and pickup campers today have large
storage tanks for water, but the Camp Cook (wife Bev) and I have
found that a half dozen or more plastic jugs in the gallon or half-gallon
size are really handy.
We recently completed a 6,000-mile trip down the Baja Peninsula of
Mexico in a Winnebago motor home that had a 25-gallon fresh water
tank. Knowing that good water may be miles away from where you
stop in Mexico, we had enough jugs along for five more gallons.
When we were parked for several days, they were handy because we
could take them to a water source that was nearby without disturbing
our camp. We carry a pair of bicycles and going for water was a daily
fun time. We also find these jugs are handy when you're camping close
to home because they give you more flexibility.
On one occasion in Mexico we chanced upon a well at a rancho but
weren't sure if the water was pure. WE filled our empty jugs with that
water and marked each jug with a piece of masking tape. We could use
that water for flushing down the self-contained toilet or for dishwater
when we boiled it. It let us stretch out our water in the tank, which we
then used mainly for drinking.
If we had topped off the motor home tank with water that we later
found was bad, it would have spoiled our entire supply.
We found many travelers in Baja from British Columbia, Oregon
and Washington. All agreed Baja is a wonderful place to spend time in
the winter.
