COMMENTARY TRACK Dean Siemon As the members of Creedence Clearwater Re- vival ask, "Who'll stop the rain?" It's May and spring sports are quickly com- ing to an end as the WIAA state tournaments all take place between May 24 and May 28. But Mother Nature doesn't seem to be a huge sports fan. Teams through- out the entire western half of Washington are dealing with r0in-outs and cancel- ations. Obviously, this is not too much of a problem in the fall and winter since the games are either indoors or the weather makes the games more interesting (i.e. soccer). But there might have to be some changes to spring sports here in the Pacific Northwest. For example, why not build indoor facili- ties? The ideal model would be a multi-sport facil- ity that could hold football, baseball, softball, track and field, tennis and sgccer games while all indoor ath- have the funds. But here is an idea that was brought to my atten- tion that could work - cen- tral locations for area high schools. In Lacey, the South Sound Stadium located next to North Thurston High School and hosts home games for several area high schools - North Thurston, Timberline, Riv- er Ridge and South Sound. What would stop some kind of roofing if all of the high schools combined to help fund the construc- tions? It may take several years to raise the money, but why not? As for other areas, the numerous high schools in Tacoma (i.e. Mount Taho- ma, Lincoln, Stadium and Foss) can work together easily. The Kitsap area schools (Bremerton, Olympic, Klahowya, North Kitsap, South Kitsap, Central Kit- sap, etc.) could work to- gether as well. For this area, Mason County schools (Shelton, North Mason and Mary M. Knight), along with the Olympia schools, could at- tempt to build a central location that could accom- date everyone. The one factor could be scheduling. How can we fit so many games at once? My solution would be possibly having more week- end games. What's better than a Saturday afternoon or evening football game? ~Ietics-~a~.. remdin in a gym-" .....
