the problem is largely age-related,
the fact is that children suffer from
back pain as well. According to
epidemiological studies, about one-
third of children and adolescents
experience low back pain at
some point in their young lives.
However, a recent study involving
nearly 3,000 patients reveals that,
in the case of three-quarters of
adolescents with mechanical
flow back pain, the source is non-
specific and self-resolving. This
finding argues for a minimalist
approach, which chiropractic

cases involving spondylosis (spinal
osteoarthritis), the conservative

"I'm studying to go into the
nursing program," she said.
"Right now, my plan is to be a
nurse, but if sometime in the
future I want to go further than
that, it would be awesome to be
a doctor."
Gaa said she began playing
softball as a child with T-ball
and grew up on the field.
"A lot of people in my fam-
ily have played, so I grew up
around the field and wanted to
play," she said. "I love the com-
petitiveness of softball. I just
love the game. I love being able
to compete with my teammates,
I love being on the mound or in
the circle with all the pressure.
I don't know how to describe it."
Gaa said that once she's
done playing in college, she's
sure she'll continue playing
softball in adult leagues.

The Shelton boys' rugby team
played in the Yelm Fishbowl on
May 26.
"It was a great day of rugby to
really reinforce the spirit of the
game," Shelton co-head coach Chris
Nesmith said. "A fishbowl is an
event where athletes show up and
put their names in a fishbowl or any
other container."
Teams are chosen randomly and
• then assigned to ~ coach.
"Irony of the day, I was assigned
to the white team, wearing Shelton
jerseys and the Kitsap coach was
assigned the blue Yelm jerseys,"
Nesmith said. "It was funny be-
cause I only had two athletes who
actually play for Shelton, Houston
Dean and John Kaiser, go with me
while the rest all played for the blue
team."
Nesmith said fishbowl tourna-
ments are fun because they allow
teams to really see the different fo-

cuses of other programs.
"Kitsap has a deeper emphasis
on teaching point of contact, from
making the tackle to setting the
rucks," he said. '~relm spends a lot
of time teaching set pieces. In Shel-
ton, our claim to fame in Washing-
ton state is our pace of game. We
play at a much faster rate than
most programs making decisions
faster and acting faster."
He said that in a tournament
like this, the first half of the game
is always a bit of a mess.
"Players are busy showing off
their skills but rarely utilizing the
skills different programs bring to
the table," Nesmith said. "Athletes
from Kitsap were tr
