"These incidents remind us yet again that Olympic National Park is a wilderness area, with all the risks inherent to wilderness," said park Assistant Superintendent Roger Rudolph. "We strongly urge all visitors to be aware of proper cougar-country behavior, and at least for the next several weeks, to choose an alternative destina- tion to the Graves Creek area of the Quinault Valley." Since July 11, four cougar sightings or encounters have been reported in the area. From de- scriptions, reported in the Nation- al Park Service bulletin, it ap- pears that it is the same animal, a 2-year-old, 100- to 125-pound cougar• Visitors are encouraged to avoid the East Fork Quinault Trail, which begins at the Graves Creek trailhead, while rangers take care of the situation. In previous years, sightings have been reported on the west side of the Olympics, but the park ranger at Staircase reports none this year. For more information, call the Olympic National Park Wilder- ness Information Center at (360) 452-0300. Although Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife statistics show a minimal yearly increase in the number of cougar attacks since 1995, the potential for a cougar encounter has in- creased dramatically. In 1995, 247 confirmed cougar sightings were reported in Washington State. In 1998, that number had increased to 927. The fish and wildlife report also showed that during the same period, the number of pets at- tacked by cougars more than dou- bled from 32 in 1995 to 70 in 1998. Confronted by coug? Advlce on what to do This is a list the National Park Service released about ways to avoid confrontations with cou- gars. To prevent a cougar en- counter: Do not hike or jog alone. * Keep children within sight at all times. * Avoid dead animals. e Keep a clean camp. * Leave pets at home. Be alert to the surroundings. Q Use a walking stick. If you meet a cougar: • Do not runl Running may trigger a cougar's attack instinct. • Stand up and face the ani- mal. • Pick up children. • Appear large  wave your arms or jacket over your head. . Do not approach the cougar, but back away slowly. • Maintain eye contact with the animal. If a cougar becomes aggres- sive: • Do not turn your back or take your eyes off the cougar. • Remain standing. • Throw things. • Shout loudly. • Fight back aggressively.

Lifejackets a must for young boaters A law took effect Sunday re- quiring all children 12 years old and younger to wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved lifejackets on boats shorter than 19 feet. The law applies when a vessel is under way and when children are on an open deck or open cock- pit of the vessel on any waters of the state. Since 1995, state and federal laws have required that all re- creational boats carry Coast Guard-approved lifejackets or personal flotation devices for Safe driving class is set for seniors "Seniors Getting There Safely," a refresher course for drivers 55 and older, is scheduled for Satur- day, August 21, at Olympic Col- lege Shelton.

Seniors who complete the. driving refresher are eligible for a deduction in their automobile in- surance premiums, notes a spokesperson for the county's traffic safety program. The Washington Traffic Safety Education Association sponsors the course, whose registration deadline is August 18. A $5 charge for materials will be col- lected at the end of the class. To register, drivers can call Carol Norman, program coordina- tor for Mason County Community DUI and Traffic Safety, or Julian- na Miljour, director for Mason County Drug Abuse Prevention, at 427-9670 (from North Mason, 275-4467), Extension 396. every adult or child on board. However, the law didn't require that they be worn. Earlier this year, the Washing- ton State Legislature passed a children's lifejacket law which was signed into law by .Governor Gary Locke in May. Marine patrol agents through- out Washington have been in. forming boaters of the new regu- lation since spring. They continue to hand out free Dairy Queen ice cream cone coupons to kids aged 16 and younger wearing their life- jackets during routine boating- safety checks. Nearly 50 police and sheriff8 departments and many state parks are taking part in the pro- motional campaign, says Wash- ington State Parks and Recrea- tion Commission spokesperson Virginia Painter.

"These incidents remind us yet again that Olympic National Park is a wilderness area, with all the risks inherent to wilderness," said park Assistant Superintendent Roger Rudolph. "We strongly urge all visitors to be aware of proper cougar-country behavior, and at least for the next several weeks, to choose an alternative destina- tion to the Graves Creek area of the Quinault Valley." Since July 11, four cougar sightings or encounters have been reported in the area. From de- scriptions, reported in the Nation- al Park Service bulletin, it ap- pears that it is the same animal, a 2-year-old, 100- to 125-pound cougar• Visitors are encouraged to avoid the East Fork Quinault Trail, which begins at the Graves Creek trailhead, while rangers take care of the situation. In previous years, sightings have been reported on the west side of the Olympics, but the park ranger at Staircase reports none this year. For more information, call the Olympic National Park Wilder- ness Information Center at (360) 452-0300. Although Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife statistics show a minimal yearly increase in the number of cougar attacks since 1995, the potential for a cougar encounter has in- creased dramatically. In 1995, 247 confirmed cougar sightings were reported in Washington State. In 1998, that number had increased to 927. The fish and wildlife report also showed that during the same period, the number of pets at- tacked by cougars more than dou- bled from 32 in 1995 to 70 in 1998. Confronted by coug? Advlce on what to do This is a list the National Park Service released about ways to avoid confrontations with cou- gars. To prevent a cougar en- counter: Do not hike or jog alone. * Keep children within sight at all times. * Avoid dead animals. e Keep a clean camp. * Leave pets at home. Be alert to the surroundings. Q Use a walking stick. If you meet a cougar: • Do not runl Running may trigger a cougar's attack instinct. • Stand up and face the ani- mal. • Pick up children. • Appear large  wave your arms or jacket over your head. . Do not approach the cougar, but back away slowly. • Maintain eye contact with the animal. If a cougar becomes aggres- sive: • Do not turn your back or take your eyes off the cougar. • Remain standing. • Throw things. • Shout loudly. • Fight back aggressively.

Lifejackets a must for young boaters A law took effect Sunday re- quiring all children 12 years old and younger to wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved lifejackets on boats shorter than 19 feet. The law applies when a vessel is under way and when children are on an open deck or open cock- pit of the vessel on any waters of the state. Since 1995, state and federal laws have required that all re- creational boats carry Coast Guard-approved lifejackets or personal flotation devices for Safe driving class is set for seniors "Seniors Getting There Safely," a refresher course for drivers 55 and older, is scheduled for Satur- day, August 21, at Olympic Col- lege Shelton. Gerald Apple will teach the eight-hour course from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a one-hour lunch break at noon. Seniors who complete the. driving refresher are eligible for a deduction in their automobile in- surance premiums, notes a spokesperson for the county's traffic safety program. The Washington Traffic Safety Education Association sponsors the course, whose registration deadline is August 18. A $5 charge for materials will be col- lected at the end of the class. To register, drivers can call Carol Norman, program coordina- tor for Mason County Community DUI and Traffic Safety, or Julian- na Miljour, director for Mason County Drug Abuse Prevention, at 427-9670 (from North Mason, 275-4467), Extension 396. every adult or child on board. However, the law didn't require that they be worn. Earlier this year, the Washing- ton State Legislature passed a children's lifejacket law which was signed into law by .Governor Gary Locke in May. Marine patrol agents through- out Washington have been in. forming boaters of the new regu- lation since spring. They continue to hand out free Dairy Queen ice cream cone coupons to kids aged 16 and younger wearing their life- jackets during routine boating- safety checks. Nearly 50 police and sheriff8 departments and many state parks are taking part in the pro- motional campaign, says Wash- ington State Parks and Recrea- tion Commission spokesperson Virginia Painter.
