Unlike turned out to be great weather, morning air was cold and crisp when CLIMBER BAND members, pictured at last week's civic center dedication, braved bugs and bus problems to take honors in Spokane last weekend. Shelton was the very first band to compete. The group arrived at the stadium, warmed up and mentally rehearsed its performance once more. Then Shelton High School's band and flag team took the field. Tyler Winchell describes his thoughts as he entered the field. "I was thinking about all the people who said we'd never be here or at a competition or ever win a competition. I thought nothing could go wrong because we'd been through so much in the last few weeks." Although the performance wasn't perfect, it definitely was well done. "They just gave their very best and their spirit was so inspiring," said Elaine Ebinger, a band parent and SHS teacher. Marching and playing to their two songs, the group had the opportunity to show the rest of the Northwest what Shelton is really all about. "THIS YEAR'S competition was an eye-open- er. Now band students know what we can do and how we can do it. We can truly become a great band and bring it back to our home audience," announced Susan Peters, Shelton High School band instructor. So what's the difference between this year's band and previous years? "Devotion," states one member. "I've never had a group try so hard before," agrees Peters. Others think it's Ms. Peters herself, the mira- cle that came to Shelton High School to do what she's best at, to build an awesome band program. "If it wasn't for her, Shelton High School wouldn't have much of a band right now," said band member Toni Hammond earnestly. "She rocks," added Hayley Travis. THE BAND has a dedicated flag team this year. Made up of some very enthusiastic stu- dents, the flag team is definitely one of the most positive additions the band has. "I love our flag team. We all love our flag team," said a member of the new group. Another flag teamer reported practicing for hours every day after school, add- ing, "Now that's dedication." Whether it be the commitment of the band, the teacher that's leading them, or the flag team that's working so hard to enhance the group, there unquestionably are improvements being made to the program every day. "We are going to go outside this Shelton community and show ev- eryone what excellence is all about," Ms. Peters says. And that they will do. -I i'0000tive oyster planted Once the basis of a significant fishery, the native oyster now ac- counts for only one percent of the local harvest.

In the course of the school blood drive, which took place last Thursday, October 7, 112 people over the age of 16 donated their blood. The drive is one of the ser- vice club's major recent projects. The Key Club is grateful to all high-school and community mem- bers who were willing to donate, as well as those who worked so hard so help coordinate and run the drive. The Puget Sound Blood Center distributes the blood sup- plies to hospitals throughout Western Washington. The next Key Club-sponsored blood drive will take place Janu- ary 21, and as always, all commu- nity members are invited to par- ticipate. KEY CLUB members have been busying themselves with service throughout the entire be- ginning of the school year. In hopes of enriching their lives and serving the community of those around them, club mem- bers have devoted hours of their time to service. One of the ways they serve the community is through the kids' reading project located at Shelton Safeway for several years. The program, which was thought up and initiated by the Shelton School District Special Services Department and Mason County Literacy, is a reading cor- ner in Safeway designed so that children can have a safe place to go while their parents shop. This reading area consists of shelves full of books, several child-sized sofas, carpeting and a storytell- er's chair. KEY CLUB'S role in the pro- gram may seem to be a minor one, but it is a necessary one. Every Saturday from noon to 4 p.m., Key Club members, among other dedicated community mem- bers, volunteer their time to come down to the reading corner and read to the younger members of Shelton's youth. Key Club members also spend several meetings bagging books and making pins for those chil- dren who participate in the pro- gram. Every child who reads or gets read to in the corner receives a free cookie, a free book, and a pin-on button. Not only that, but if they're willing to complete three desig- nated activities at home, they will receive rewards from businesses such as A&W, Domino's, Dairy Queen and Safeway. Anyone in- terested in volunteering as a Safeway reader should contact Leah Clarke, Shelton High School Key Club advisor. As always, all children are invited to attend the reading sessions every Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. at Safeway. Timberwolf Tales: Mid-school football teams roll over Montesano at season By LIND SAY ORME Shelton Middle School The seventh- and eighth-grade football teams both won their games with at least three times the score of the Montesano team. The seventh-graders won their home game 19 to 6. A great num- ber of touchdowns was scored by Michael Hanes, and the entire seventh-grade defense played Micah Hutchinson, the son of Kim and Molly ttutchin- son of Shelton, has received the $3,000 Boeing Company Scholarship for the 1999-2000 academic year at Western Washington University. The scholarship is based on scha- lastic ability. A WSU junior majoring in manufacturing management, Hutchinson has a 3.73 grade- point average. He plans to pur- sue a career as a plant manag- er or an inventory specialist for a manufacturing firm, ac- cording to the school's public information office. Hutchinson was co-valedic- torian of the Shelton High School Class of 1996. Two Union residents re- ceived their master's degrees at Western Washington Uni- versity at the conclusion of summer quarter. Catherine C. Zunigha and Christian A. Zunigha were both awarded master of educa- tion degrees. They are among 137 master's degree recipients announced by the university.

Corey Arndt, Robby Fairbroth- er, and Brian Keyberts helped the eighth grade to its ending score of 14 to 0. Corey Arndt scored both of the touchdowns for the team, and Robby Fairbrother scored both extra points. Though he did not score any touchdowns, Brian Keyberts played wonderful de- Ibnse. The eighth grade has won 2 out of 3 of their games, and the sev- enth-grade team is still undefeat- ed. The Shelton Middle School As- sociated Student Body held a dance for students from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday, October 7 in the middle school gym. The music ranged from rap and pop to coun- try. A gym full of middle-school students chaperoned by their teachers danced the afterneon away. Many of the students espe- cially enjoyed the swing dancing. The book fair will be held Octo- ber 25-28 in the middle school li- brary. It will be open to all stu- dents during conferences. The books this year are pre- sented on a buy-one, get-one-free basis, so the middle school is not making any profit from the sales. The goal is to simply provide stu- dents with more books.
