Sports - was inevitable that I would hear stories about how Ken and Paul showed up some beginning skier of another skier just a step by Christopher Curran lower in ability than themselves. Time after time, during this whole process I would give it a try, fait and my error would be explained in full to me. On the next try I would correct that er-, ror but forget another aspect of ___ ———_ learning how to ski. It didn’t matter how many ed and pulled me out of the each, I was an amateur.

I used to go to my family’s cabin on. the Puget Sound in Olympia, Washington during the summer. As I looked on the water I could see water skiers. I would watch in awe as they sped past me. Not to say I didn’t get my turn. I yelled “hit it” and the boat took off. This time I was going to get up. I had been try ing to water ski for about six years. But I hadn’t succeeded. As I describe it now, I tell people that I just bent my dhows and my knees, at the same time. The is something I hadn’t done before. This time was different. As the rope from the boat tighten- Cougars win one out of two by Sherri Michaels Staff Writer The Lady Cougars stole the first game of a double-header from Grays Harbor, 4-3. Coach Paul Fiskum had been “concerned about the pitching.” Wendy Morton’s arm held up for the game, allowing only three runs in the sixth inning. Grays Harbor had a rough time holding back the Lady Cougars. Their pitcher hit Kim Stewart the first batter for the Cougars, sending her to first base on a walk. Stewart took advantage of that walk by striding in to home for the first run. Michelle Day also grabbed a run off Grays Harbor the first inning giving Clackamas a leading edge, 2-0. Kim Beeson and Stewart also had one run each in the sixth in ning. Stewart started that run with a single from a bunt. Niki Biser was 3 for 3 with all singles but she also enjoyed two RBI’s. Team errors for both teams were three. Most were made on bad throws. Clackamas is in fourth place in the league standings, just missing third place by one game. The third place team also played Monday, giving the Cougars a chance for those elusive play-offs. The Lady Cougars took the leading edge in the bottom of the third inning with two runs in the second game of the double header. Both Stewart and Sue Richard son scored.. For Stewart this was her third score of the day. Richardson, who had sat out the first game, ran home off a hit from Day. Pitcher Wendy Morton allow ed only three hits, which were all singles, handed out four stroke outs and creamed Grays Harbors pitcher to smooth in the left rib,” according to the scorekeeper for Clackamas. “Morton is the best pitcher in the league,” according to Coach Fiskum. He also cited that the team plays good defense by good players. It is not known as yet if the Lady Cougars have made the playoffs. The deciding factor is if the third place team lost one or both of their games on Monday. empty stomach?). After lunch we decided that 1 would be the first one of the three of us (my aunt, uncle, and I) to show this particular lake what I could do. On my first try I signaled to start too early. My second and third attempts were just as unsuc cessful. In these few moments between the third try and fourth try, I gathered all of the input of these last six years and put it into motion. We started dragging through the water just like an airplane be ing taxied down a runway. I mo tioned to start and I took off. Up, up and out of the water I went. Something happened this time that was different than any other time I had tried to get up. This time I stayed up. I had defeated the lake. It was such a great feeling to finally be on top of the water instead of under it. As we cruised by, I could see everything. And, as I was riding the lake, I couldn’t help thinking that somewhere out there on the shore was a kid five or six years younger than I, wat ching in awe as one of those skiers sped past him.
