ExCLIMBER STEVE NORRIS helps a newcomer - in this case, as it happens,
his own kid brother Ryan - during a tackling drill at the high school this week.

that part of me," says the '99 SHS grad,
grinning anew. "I mean, I was hanging out
with the wrong crowd. I was always gettin'
in trouble, like with the police and stuff.
You know? And I was just goin' straight
down the tube.
"And then when I started playin' football
and really gettin' into weightliftin' and
stuff, it just changed me as a person. I
started hangin' out with the right people. It
just changed me totally as a person."
Changed the way he treated people, too?
"No," says Steve. "I've always been a nice
guy. I never picked fights or that kind of
stuff. I'm not that kind of person. But I'm
just more outgoing now. I've just matured
a lot."
AND ENDURED a lot, too - such as
that hundred-yard quagmire Down Under,
for instance. But we're getting ahead of
'I was always

ourselves. Listen up:
Journal: What was this Australia thing
all about?
Norris: It was like a state all-star team.
It was like an invitational team, and the
people who paid went. (Also invited, but de-
clining, were fellow SHS grads Curtis
Steen, Mark Stigall and Mike Resales.)
Journal: When did you go?
Norris: June 27 to July 9. We went to
the airport - Los Angeles - and we had like
a five-hour layover. And then we went
straight from there to Sydney Airport; we
flew 14 hours. And then we took another
plane to Brisbane, on the Gold Coast. And
then we got our hotels and stuff. And they
were real nice hotels.
Journal: And it was their winter down
there?
Norris: Yeah, but it's like winter in
Hawaii, kinda. Yeah: high 70s. It was kinda
nice out, ya know?
Journal: Did you know any of your
fellow all-stars before you went down there?
Norris: Oh, no. I'd played against Justin
Yett, from Tumwater. He went. And I'd
played against some of 'em. But other guys
I just met there. They were real cool. Every-
body got along real well.
Journal: Isn't that typical of rival foot-
ball players? They seem to drop their
"hatred" of each other as soon as the game
is over and often actually become good
friends.
Norris: Yeah. Yeah. I'm that way too.
Like, when we're playin' against 'em I don't,
like, HATE 'em. I mean, it's just like I'm
playin' against 'em and I'm not, like, their
friends on the field or anything. But I'm
into good sportsmanship. I'll help 'em up
and stuff. And, like, when they're outta
football, you know, everything's cool.
Journal: You mention being teamed
with "arch rival" Justin Yett. What was he
like?
Norris: Oh, I thought he was a pretty
nice guy. I didn't think he would be, but he
was a nice guy.
Journal: Comes across as a tough guy
on the field, does he?
Norris: Yeah. Yeah. On the football field
he's more aggressive, you know, than a lot
of the people that we've played against. But
he's a good guy, like, off the field. I mean,
he's real calm and stuff. He's a pretty funny
guy. And I also met, like, a bunch of other
people. Like, a lot of the people that went
there are gettin', like, rides somewhere. So
there were some good athletes there.
Journal: And what did you find out
about yourself athletically in their midst?
Norris: Well, I thought I stacked up well
against everybody. I mean, I was the fastest
guy on the team, and I was startin' quarter-
back.
Journal: How fast are you now?
Norris: Well, when I was there I ran a
4.43 forty.
Journal: And that was tops among all of
the all-stars?
Norris: Yeah.
Journal: What brought you to this
place, workout-wise?
Norris: Oh, well, when I was a freshman
and sophomore I wasn't, uh... Like, I just
thought of football, you know, as "Okay,
let's go play football." And then I finally got
to really love the sport and mature at it,
and I started working out really hard. I got
in the weightroom, like, constantly my
junior year.

The community's still-in-the-
works batting cage at MCRA got
a $2,300 shot in the arm last
weekend as local recsters staged
the second annual Batting Cage
Softball Tournament there at the
Johns Prairie multi-use facility.
Twelve hometown teams went
at it in the three-day affair, and
when the dust had settled it was
Hoodsport Winery on top by way
of a 13-8 championship-game vic-
tory over Miles Sand & Gravel,
whose theretofore unbeaten men
and women had lost to the
champs-to-be by a 4-3 count im-
mediately previous to their decid-
ing clash.
Also in the fray were the Fudd-
puckers, The Flyers, McDonald's,
Manke Tug & Barge, Hood Canal
Communications, Sunset Air,
Lisa's Hair First, Cameo, Lum-
bermen's and a last-minute pick-
up team dubbed "Save Our
Bacon."
TOURNEY MVPs were Hilton
Malone and Liezl Thompson of
Miles Sand & Gravel.
All-stars were Mark Place and
Michele Quiggle of the Winery,
Brian Huston and Liezl Thomp-
son of Miles Sand & Gravel, Mike
Fredson and Angela Wheaten of
The Flyers, Matt Deemer and Jen
Waldrip of Lumbermen's, Scott
Probert and Bree Olson of "Save
Our Bacon," Brentt Hensley and
Sue LeDoux of Manke Tug &
Barge, Tim Sheedy and Scotti
Crump of Fuddpuckers, Court Gi-
beau and Jill Hartline of Lisa's
Hair First, Matt Marshall and
Anna Ayles of McDonald's, Bill
Remington and Jackie Remington
of Camco and Sean Schwagler
and Stacy Miller of Sunset Air.
All-star specifics for the Hood
Canal Communications team
were not available.
Special awards were given to
Skip Conklin and Kelly Frazier
by virtue of their being the tour-
ney's "favorite umps."
ACCORDING TO Brentt
Hensley, tourney codirector, the
event was a resounding success.
With the support and involve-
ment of many local businesses
and volunteers, he said, more
than $2,300 was raised to help in
the final construction of the bat-
ting cage facility there at MCRA
and also to help with funding for
the Shelton Co-op Preschool. Spe-
cial thanks is due to the Fudd-
puckers, added Hensley, for their
setting up of the dunk-tank at-
traction. Kudos too, he said, are
due all the volunteers, including
the umps who all donated their
time free of charge.
AS FOR THE batting cage,
Mason County Parks director
Mike Byrne reports that every
effort is being made to have the
four-station facility ready to go by
the start of next season. Although
the $76,000 project still needs
close to $10,000, he added, if the
community's outpouring of gener-
osity continues the goal is "very

Mason County's octogenarian
wonder, Lew Luehrs of Alder-
brook, has done it again.
The 81-year-old retiree, fea-
tured in these pages a year ago
for his age-group exploits, won no
fewer than seven gold medals in
the Puget Sound Senior Games
two weekends ago in Lacey.
He topped his age division in
the pole vault, high jump, discus,
javelin, shot put, long jump and
softball throw.
Lew says he doesn't recall his
winning marks in all of them, but
he went 4-6 in the vault, 3-8 in
the high jump, a PR 56-6 in the
discus, 81 feet in the softball
throw and a shade over seven feet
in the long jump.
The long-time competitor thus
has qualified for nationals in six
events - high jump, long jump,
pole vault, javelin, discus and
shot - as well as in the Games'
golfing venue, where he just so
happened to record the seventh
hole-in-one of his amazing career
just last year.

achievable."
Byrne says most of the neces-
sary materials have been ac-
quired, so the main focus is on
final construction. There's still a
need for volunteers experienced
in construction and electrical wir-
ing to help with final assembly,
adds the director, urging volun-
teers to call him weekdays at 427-
9670, Extension 725.

Grid j amboree
action on tap
The sixth autumn of Climber
football's Hinkle Era begins in
traditional just-for-show fashion
this Saturday when Shelton's grid
warriors make their jamboree
debuts.
Head coach Matt Hinkle and
his varsity boys will join a hand-
ful of their jayvee counterparts in
a 6 p.m. showcase at Olympic
Stadium in Silverdale.
Earlier that same day, starting
at 10 a.m. in Olympia's Ingersoll
Stadium, a contingent of Climber
jayvees including sophomores will
take its mini-quarter bow.
Last season Hinkle and his
varsity boys went 7-2 and fin-
ished in a tie for the Rivers
League North championship.
They beat state-ranked Olympia
along the way and finished with a
victory over arch-rival Tumwater.
This year, as the lone AAAA
school in a brand new triple-A
Pac-9 League, they'll go against
almost exactly the same lineup of
rivals their forebears did for
years and years here in the now-
defunct Black ttills League.
They'll do so with a varsity
contingent seven players strong
in returning starters, including
seniors Nick Cronquist (LB/RB),
Johnny Fleshman (WPJDB), Vic
Gardenhire (RB/DB), Jason Pat-
terson (line), Tavita (aka David)
Tausa (line) and Chad Greenfield
(WR]DB) and junior Zach Sheetz
(RB/LB).
Penciled at quarterback: soph-
omore A.J. Mell, who as an up-
start freshman last year drew
first-team all-league distinction
as a punter after rooting several
over 50 yards and finishing with
a 37-yard average. A.J.'s looking
very promising at QB, says Coach
Hinkle.
Assisting Hinkle this year are
coaches Bill Brickert, Eric Nico-
lai, Terry Dion, Bill Hicks,
Charles Farrar and Steve Norris
and freshman coaches Chris Lacy
and Stu Trusler.
Senior leaders Tausa, Patter-
son and Cronquist have been ap-
pointed team co-captains.
Bayshore
Bayshore's ladies enjoyed
"points" competition Tuesday.
The results:
First division - Marion Spence first, Rose
Quimby second.
Second division - Lola Norton first, Alice
Chapman second.
Third division - Charleen Wallttner first,
Barb Rogerson second.
Fourth division - Ruth Wotton first, Ar-
lene Van Way second.

Run-A-Then
on tap for
tomorrow
The Climber cross-country run-
ners will put on a show for the
community tomorrow night in
hopes of putting a little cash in
their kitty.
A fund-raising "Run-A-Then,"
as coach Sheryal Balding calls it,
the event will start at 8:30 in
Highclimber Stadium and feature
pledge-per-lap running fi)r two
straight hours.
Some of her athletes have com-
bined into teams to challenge
each other, advises Coach.
Last week the Climbers spent
two days at a team retreat at
Long Beach. "We did some team
building and had a great workout
on the beach," reports Balding.

football's Hinkle Era begins in
traditional just-for-show fashion
this Saturday when Shelton's grid
warriors make their jamboree
debuts.
Head coach Matt Hinkle and
his varsity boys will join a hand-
ful of their jayvee counterparts in
a 6 p.m. showcase at Olympic
Stadium in Silverdale.
Earlier that same day, starting
at 10 a.m. in Olympia's Ingersoll
Stadium, a contingent of Climber
jayvees including sophomores will
take its mini-quarter bow.
Last season Hinkle and his
varsity boys went 7-2 and fin-
ished in a tie for the Rivers
League North championship.
They beat state-ranked Olympia
along the way and finished with a
victory over arch-rival Tumwater.
This year, as the lone AAAA
school in a brand new triple-A
Pac-9 League, they'll go against
almost exactly the same lineup of
rivals their forebears did for
years and years here in the now-
defunct Black ttills League.
They'll do so with a varsity
contingent seven players strong
in returning starters, including
seniors Nick Cronquist (LB/RB),
Johnny Fleshman (WPJDB), Vic
Gardenhire (RB/DB), Jason Pat-
terson (line), Tavita (aka David)
Tausa (line) and Chad Greenfield
(WR]DB) and junior Zach Sheetz
(RB/LB).
Penciled at quarterback: soph-
omore A.J. Mell, who as an up-
start freshman last year drew
first-team all-league distinction
as a punter after rooting several
over 50 yards and finishing with
a 37-yard average. A.J.'s looking
very promising at QB, says Coach
Hinkle.
Assisting Hinkle this year are
coaches Bill Brickert, Eric Nico-
lai, Terry Dion, Bill Hicks,
Charles Farrar and Steve Norris
and freshman coaches Chris Lacy
and Stu Trusler.
Senior leaders Tausa, Patter-
son and Cronquist have been ap-
pointed team co-captains.

Run-A-Then
on tap for
tomorrow
The Climber cross-country run-

community tomorrow night in
hopes of putting a little cash in
their kitty.
A fund-raising "Run-A-Then,"
as coach Sheryal Balding calls it,
the event will start at 8:30 in
Highclimber Stadium and feature
pledge-per-lap running fi)r two
straight hours.
Some of her athletes have com-
bined into teams to challenge
each other, advises Coach.
Last week the Climbers spent
two days at a team retreat at
Long Beach. "We did some team
building and had a great workout
on the beach," reports Balding.
