Free community CPR class
Knowing how to recognize the symptoms of a heart
attack and stroke, and what to do about it, is of great
value in an emergency situation. Mason General Hos-
pital has partnered with the community in saving lives
by offering another free adult, child, and infant Basic
Life Support CPR class, to be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on
Thursday, April 14, in MGH's Learning Center, located
next to McDonald's on Olympic Highway North.
In this class, open to all members of the community,
the proper technique for adult, child, and infant CPR
will be demonstrated, and the symptoms of heart at-
tack and stroke will be reviewed.
Everyone attending the class is asked to wear com-
fortable clothes, and a Spanish interpreter will be made
available on request.
Pre-registration for the class is required, as class
size is limited, so please make your reservations by Fri-
day, April 8 by calling the MGH Learning Center at
427-3609. This is not a First Aid class.
Long-term care certification

Shelton athlete to
pursue medical degree
By DEAN SIEMON
Shelton High School se-
nior Tre Fisher is a well-
known three-sport athlete
for the Highclimbers in
football, basketball and
track and field.
But Fisher prides himself
in his good grades, holding
a 3.79 grade point average,
a number he considers im-
portant when being scouted
at the colliegate level.
"That's what is going to
separate me from another
athlete," Fisher said, who
hopes to continue play-
ing basketball in college.
He said his favorite class
is English 102 with Randy
Baugh and feels it's the
course he has learned the
most from.
"My writing has gotten
better," he said. "It's just an
enjoyable class."
As for college, Fisher said
his top choice is the Uni-
versity of Oregon and has
received a $24,000 scholar-
ship for his academics.
"From what I've seen
they have a really nice cam-
pus," Fisher said. "It's close
enough to home but far
enough away so it's a new
start."
The Shelton senior said
he has an interest in the
medical field but is deciding
whether to study nursing or
physical therapy.
"I just want to be able
to have a direct impact on
people's lives," he said. "I
also want to learn about
the instruments and the
new technologies and the
medicines we use to save
people's lives."
His other options in-
cluded Eastern Washington
University in Cheney and
Clackamas Community Col-
lege in Oregon City, Ore.
Fisher said he would
want to play at the colle-
giate level despite how hard
it is to be seen by college
, scouts in Western Washing-
ton.
But Fisher said he would
like to see if he can join Or-
Tre Fisher
egon's basketball team as a
wlk-on.
"The worst thing that can
happen is that they say no,"
he said. "If anything, I can
play at a smaller school and
transfer in a year."
In addition to playing
three sports and being a
member of Shelton's Na-
tional Honor's Society and
Leadership club, Fisher
has been involved with the
Shelton Kings youth foot-
ball program.
Fisher has gone to vari-
ous Kings' practices and
taught his skills to the
younger players in an at-
tempt to give back to a
program he played for as a
youth.
"I was that little kid who
looked up to the high school
kids saying 'Oh my gosh, I'll
never be that good,'" Fisher
said.
But Fisher said football
has been apart of his young
life, including meeting
who would become his best
friends in a summer camp
in seventh grade - Jacob
Barrett, Alex Spencer and
Ryan Adams.
"Football is really like a
family thing," he said. "The
guys are always hanging
out and the parents are al-
ways involved."
