Windsurfing:
Washington State Parks and the Columbia Gorge Windsurfing Association (CGWA) have scheduled a 9 a.m. to noon work party for Saturday, June 19, at Doug's Beach.
Work will consist of removing driftwood from the beach and picking up trash and other debris. Volunteers are asked to bring the appropriate tools.

Correction:
The page 6 story, "State title streak ends at six for CHS girls," it was incorrectly reported that Columbia High's Corrine Blankenship tied a state record in the dead lift.
What really happened was: Blankenship attempted to tie the state record of 345 pounds after completing a lift of 315 pounds.
