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.

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."
