Little from 1B was a push for a more human- istic approach to physical edu- cation. The object was to provide activities for participation and fun only. My basketball lesson plans included fundamental skill building. When the basketball basics were completed the classes were given two options. Students could sign-up for a three-on-three tournament or for a free shooting period. All but four students elected to play in the tournament. Twenty minutes into the period, all four asked to be included in the bracket. Just shooting was not so fun after all. My wife and children could tell you that I usually know the score at any given time for any game we are watching or play- Racing ing. I know the scores because that is what I have done since the playgrounds of Sunset Grade School in Hermiston, Oregon. The term “winners stay” was used even in the late 1950s. When you win at tetherball you get to keep playing. When you play more you get better so you win more. This is a good cycle to improve your skills. When you won at marbles, you got to keep your oppo- nent’s marbles. The best team was able to play all recess. You do not get better when you sit out by los- ing. My brother and I practiced many different sports at home, after school and on weekends so we had a better chance to win at school. When my high school JV basketball team went undefeat- ed in 1966-67, the crowds grew as we kept winning. Some peo- ple left after our game because our varsity was not winning. It has been referred as “get- ting on the bandwagon.” People like to live with the association to a winner.

Unfortunately, this seems to be the case with the Siuslaw Vikings football team. Where were all those fans that used to fill the stands on Friday nights? Maybe some are becoming Mapleton Sailor fans as Mapleton is in the hunt for a state play-off spot. The Vikings and Sailors, win or lose, need your support in all sports this year. 2150 Hwy. 101 • Florence (541) 997-3475 • 1-800-348-3475 Florence, OR CCB#195304 Visit the Siuslaw News online at WWW.THESIUSLAWNEWS.COM Brian Jagoe Principal Broker 541 999-1314 Complete Auto Repair from 1B David’s masterful storytelling that has drawn crowds at vari- ous venues throughout Oregon.

Gray whales are legally pro- tected under several statutes as two separate populations; a large eastern population of about 20,000 whales and a critically endangered western population of less than 150. Sumich will describe some exciting research that is help- ing to clarify the evolving sta- tus and related management issues of these populations. • Saturday, Dec. 16: Living with Wildlife: Mountain Lions, 1 p.m. David Thompson, a lifelong educator and retired Interpretive Specialist for the Siuslaw National Forest, will recount his multiple encounters with a mountain lion while living and working in the Redwoods as a National Park Service Ranger.
