Boatmen operating vessels in
an unsafe manner may now be
ordered back to shore by Coast
Guard boarding otficers under the
Federal Boa! Safely Ac! of 1971.
I he new law, which was
signed by President Nixon August
I Ith, gives (7oasl (;uard Boarding
Officers the authority lo direci a
boat operator to lake whatever
immediate and reasonable steps
are necessary for the safety of
those on board a vessel. In the
case of a vessel being operated in
a manner which creates an
especially hazardous condition to
life, this would include, "directing
the operator to return to mooring
and remain there until the
situation creating the hazard is
corrected."
Hazards which would warrant
such action would be boats being
used without sufficient lifejackets
or firefighting devices or boats
being used in an overloaded
condition.
Rear Admiral Joseph J.
McClelland, Commander of the
Thirteenth Coast Guard District,
said, "The purpose of the new
authority is not to inconvenience
or harass boatmen but to prevent
serious accidents before they
occur and to save lives."
Boatmen who fail to comply
with the directions of the
boarding officer may be cited for
operating a vessel in a negligent
manner so as to endanger life,
limb or propety and may be
arrested.

Fraternal Captains and
Officers Meeting
8 p.m., Timber Bowl
III I II I II
By JIM KNEELAND
The overall outlook seems
pretty good for Shelton's gridiron
giants this year, according to head
coach Jack Stark, even though
they lost some lettermen.
Returning lettermen who
received their equipment include
Ray Krumpols, Neal White, Terry
Knight, Bob Crume, Tracy
Armstrong, Dean Medcalf, Rob
Settle, Don Nesth, Doug Long,
Mark Wittenberg, Brad Oling,
Shane Brooks, Bill Gray, Mike
Sheetz, Duane Makoviney, and
Tom Brigham.
The number of those turning
out is 51 and expected to climb.
Coach Stark is extremely proud
of the number of players turning
out from the Hood Canal area.
"There are five or six turning out
from there and that is the best we
have ever done." Stark said.
When asked about the team's
chances this year he said it all
depends mostly on attitudes. "If
we can capture the same attitude
we had last year we have a good
chance."
Coach Stark also said this
league is getting "pretty tough".
He said Tumwater has to be the
number one contender because
they're getting everybody back
but ''whenever 1 make
predictions" he said, "1 leave us
out because I believe we have to
feel we can win every game and
we have the talent to do it."
Coach Stark also maintains North
Thurston and Centralia should he
tough with Chehalis a question
mark due to a new coach.
"We lost five offensive
linemen to graduation last year,
but we have enough man power
to fill those gaps. What we need
now is a middle linebacker,"
Stark continued.
Stark also wanted to voice the
competency of his staff assistants.
"They're really underrated" he
said, "they work hard to help do
the job necessary for a good
football team".
Coaching this year are: Bill
Brickert, defensive backs and
offensive ends; Ran Ellis, centers
and linebacks; Paul Johnson,
offensive tackle, defensive ends;
Mike Sims, offensive guards and
defensive tackles; Fred
Aberhamson, J.V.'s and scouting;
Harlem Bittenveld, high school
Scoutin~g Co-ordinator and
freshman coach•
No matter who wins the
league crown this year it is certain
that Shelton football fans are
going to see some competitive
football played by their home
team with great prospects yet to
he cultivated such as Ace
LeGault, plagued by injuries last
year, and a new prospect named
Barry Gesche. Shelton may just
end up at the top of the heap.
