Raymond Shike Jr. bowled a perfect 300-point game on
Monday, April 11, at Madras Bowl, during the Blue
Monday Mixers league games. This was Shike's
seventh perfect game, but his first since 1999. "I was
having a dry spell for a while," he said. A perfect game in
bowling is 12 strikes in a row. Shike said that as the
game progresses, and it appears that a perfect game is
possible, he tries not to think about it. If you concentrate
too much you're more likely to make a mistake, he said.

They may face bombardment
with noisy fireworks, high-pressure
water hoses and irritating
sounds broadcast underwater as
biologists try to keep them from
damaging fish runs.
Until recently, the marine
mammals had not climbed the
fish ladders. But one sea lion this
year has made repeated runs up
and down both of the fishways,
eating a steelhead or two in front
of visitors and the workers who
count salmon.
The new behavior presents a
significant problem because the
presence of sea lions within the
narrow fish passageways could
deter large numbers of salmon
from entering and heading up
