2B | SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 2021 | SIUSLAW NEWS CHEER from page 1B Attending the event was success- ful for Straley, who is optimistic about the future for Siuslaw’s cheer program. “I met some amazing people who are willing to work with me and my team to make sure we are confident on that field cheering on our teams,” she said. “I learned so much over those three days: new dances, stunting tips and how certain movements work. I’m so excited for this coming year, and I can’t wait to get together with my new team this summer to start get- ting ready for these new stunts and dances!” On the Saturday evening of the conference, the OCCA featured an awards ceremony to recognize and award coaches and administrators who have had an impact on the current year or years past.

Boaters using watercraft such as canoes and kayaks, which can be launched with- out the use of a trailer, can still LITTLE from page 1B My legs became stronger from constantly adjusting my weight as the boat rocked back and forth. My upper body became stronger from constantly hand pulling fish, in particular Albacore Tuna, into the boat. For every fish we caught, I would handle it a minimum of five times before it was sold to the cannery. If we caught two tons of fish, I would have lifted no less than ten tons of fish on that trip. My forearms benefitted from handling fish. While in college, I worked summer jobs for Nygaard Logging, Astoria Seafood Cannery, Warrenton Lum- ber Mill, and a construction go for. Each of these jobs was physically demanding. By working hard, I was able to maintain or increase my core strength. One trait that stood out for years were my “Pop- eye” forearms. These were ac- quired from my tuna fishing years. You can gain strength through the chores you do around your own home. Some chores are more de- manding and have better strength benefits than others. My brother and I moved a large pile of lumber my Dad had salvaged from the Co- lumbia River no less than four times. My Dad was de- termined to use the lumber at some time in the future so we constantly had to move the pile and turn the lumber over use the boat ramp with cau- tion. The closure will remain in place until the boat launch is repaired to safe condition. “We recognize that the Sut- ton Lake Boat Ramp is an im- portant recreation access point for the community and visitors to the community,” said Mi- chele Holman, Central Coast District Ranger. “We want to so it stayed dry. The lumber included twenty-foot 2X12’s. As I watched my eight- year-old grandson, Miles, mow our yard, I was re- minded of the field of grass I mowed in my backyard in Warrenton. I had a push mower without a motor. It was a tough yard to mow. Then I had to rake the yard. Miles was using a self-pro- pelled mower. The mower practically carried him on each row. I stopped him and had him mow one row without the assistance of the self-propelled option.

I later climbed into the hatch to ice them. Once at the cannery, I climbed back into the hatch to load them in the buck- et to be sold at the cannery. When all the tuna were sold, my Dad would hand me the cannery power hose clean the deck and hold of the boat.

MAPLETON from page 1B showed major improvements in their gameplay on Tues- day. Mapleton lost 35-61, but also managed to score their season high in points for one game. “We had our best half so far this year,” said Duffy. The girls were ahead for most of the half with the Eagles taking the lead with roughly 20 seconds left in the second quarter, 27-23. “Eddyville made some second half adjustments and came out a little bit stronger than we did,” said the coach. “Eddyville’s a good team, and you can’t score 12 points in a half and expect to win a game.” Although their second half wasn’t as strong as their first, two players had season highs for points in a game: Brier Shird had 8 points, and Heather Wierichs had 9. Opal Burruss scored 16 points for the Sailors, and Emily Stevens scored 2 points. “We will be looking to con- tinue to do better,” said Duffy. Mapleton played at Yon- calla on Thursday with re- sults coming in after printing deadlines. Their next game is on Monday, June 14, at home against Triangle Lake at 7 p.m. created a sizeable drop and a ramp that is too short for trailers to use safely. Siuslaw National Forest officials are working with the Oregon State Marine Board, Oregon Fish make repairs as quickly and as safely as possible and we are working with engineers and a variety of partners to get that done.” Below the water line, the concrete at the bottom of the Sutton Lake Boat Ramp is breaking apart and sliding down into the depths of the soft lakebed. The damage has row, I asked him how his legs felt. He told me they got tired. I told him that it will make his legs stronger the more times he mowed without the self-propel option. I also told him I hope he will be able to mow the entire yard, by the end of summer, without any help from the self-propel. As technology has lessened our need for physical labor, many young people have lost how a hard day’s labor can benefit us physically and mentally.
