N~O~iiiii!ii: iiiiii~iiiill Hip re- placement patients often must rely on a cane to take the body's weight off the affected joint, thereby reducing the de- mand on inflamed or weak mus- cles and tendons. Patients should begin by holding the cane in the hand opposite the side that needs support and positioning the cane about four inches to the side of the leg. When weight is shifted to the stronger leg, the cane tip should be placed a few inches ahead; the weaker leg is then brought for- ward and even with the cane. It is at this point that the cane is help- ing to support the body's weight. Next, the strong leg is brought up even with the cane, and the whole sequence begins again. A cane or walker can bring the freedom of mobility to those con- WALKING WITH A CANE TAKES PRACTICE BY JOSEPH ZYGAR, P.T. strained by injury, disability, or balance problems.

On Tuesday, Dec. 6, the Lady Highclimbers defeated Klahowya 5-2 at West Side Lanes in Olympia. "Last year, Klahowya came up and beat us so I was im- pressed last week," said head coach Curt Snyder. "The girls bowled well against Klahowya." Mishawn Ewart led the team in both game one and two with scores of 204 and 223. Caitlyn Borys scored second highest in game one at 136 with Danielle Ewart close be- hind at 131 and Lindsey Cox in fourth with a score of 126. In game two, the team was joined by junior varsity bowlers Holly Hayman, who bowled a 152, and Jessica Rowlett, who bowled a 142. On Thursday, Dec. 8, the Lady Highclimbers defeated Foss 7-0. "Because of the statistics, I kind of thought that Foss wouldn't be real competitive and it turned out they weren't," Snyder said. "It's hard to step back and not bowl your best, but the girls bowled well against Foss. They call it 'sand- bagging' when you don't bowl well and intentionally miss; the girls did not do that." Danielle Ewart led the team against Foss with scores of 233 and 168 while Mishawn Ewart scored 211 and 156. Bo- rys contributed with scores of 196 and 171 while Brittany Smith scored 147 and 121 and Cox scored 99 and 120. The Lady Highclimbers competed against Wilson on Tuesday, Dec. 13, but results were not immediately available. The team is scheduled to bowl next at Mishawn 3 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 15, against Tim- Ewart berline High School at West Side Lanes. "Timberline and Wilson are the top two teams, I feel, in the league besides the Highclimbers," Snyder said. "We all bowled together in a fundraiser tournament this past Saturday and Wilson and Timberline both beat us." Regardless of how the Lady Highclimbers do this week, the team will continue to bowl league matches after the new year and Snyder said the league tournament is sched- uled for mid-January. "All of the girls are improving, as are other teams," Sny- der said. "The Highclimber girls are doing well. The C-team girls are improving the most because they're the newest. Every week, one or two girls is exceeding their highest scores, so that's kind of fun." As for .Cascade League standings, Danielle Ewart is lead- ing the 4A with an average of 182 in 16 games. Her average is just one point ahead of Central Kitsap's Myranda Stout for the same number of games. "Wilson has caught up to us as far as team averages and has exceeded us in baker games," Snyder said. "Timberline is right behind us."
