Walt Henningsen was absent for medical reasons. Steve Nielsen, the Washington State School Directors' Associa- The January meeting of the school board for North Mason So.heel District lasted just one hour, and it was filled with spe- cial recognition. The first proclamation was read by Superintendent Dr. Marie Pickel announcing January as tion executive director wrote in the association newsletter, "To do their jobs, school board members spend hundreds of hours attend- ing meetings; keeping communi- cations open with the citizens of their communities; representing the needs of their districts before local, state and national organiza- tions and making critical deci- sions that directly affect what and how our children learn." NEXT UP WERE outstand- ing students, each having their praises shared by teachers and administrators, receiving a plaque, and having a photo taken along with their families. From tIawkins Middle School, 7th grad- ers cited were Emma Yantis and Nathaniel Rosa. Eighth graders Leda Lehman and Jeffrey Criss were then recognized. The Prodigy High School, North Mason's alternative school, selected Maria Daniels for the recognition evening. North Mason High School hon- ored five students: 9th graders Melinda Hegtvedt and Ashley Mc- Minn, 10th grader Hilma Yantis, llth grader Janell Balant, and 12th grader Abby Werner. The school board members were extended an invitation to the 20th anniversary celebration of the skills center in Bremerton. Previously known as the Kitsap Peninsula Vocational Skills Cen- ter, it has been renamed the West Sound Technical Skills Center. ACCORDING TO PICKEL, both the name and focus are more on technical skills now than pre- viously. There have been 30 stu- dents from North Mason partici- pating in courses at the skills cen- ter this school year. Teresa Stone, a Family and Consumer Sciences teacher at the LEDA LOHMAN is an outstanding 8th grade student at Haw- kins Middle School. She is joined by family members Ramo. na, Brigid, Ginger, Barbara, and Brigmon Lohman. BOTH HILMA AND EMMA Yantis received recognition as outstanding students.

'Skills for 21 st ,Eentury' class offc 2d The "Skills for the 21st Cen- tury" class taught at North Ma- son High School is part of the Family and Consumer Sciences division. However, this is not the "Home Ec." your mother tookl The course is required for grad- uation from North Mason, and is taught eight times during the school year to llth and 12th graders. The teachers are Teresa Stone and Lisa Egenes. Principal Mark Flatau describes the class as a "relevant, hands on, practical type of curriculum." Students do cook during the class, but only three times in the half-year course. Their goal is not so much the cooking skills, as "they don't have to know that anymore," said Egenes. Each group of four is allowed to spend $18 for all three of their meals, which is just $1.50 per serving. That teaches budgeting skills, but students are also required to meet nutritional needs. The students are ught how to plan, prepare, and schedule for their day, as well as for their fu- ture career. They learn how to "analyze transferable employabil- ity skills," and learn about legal issues relevant to employment, fi- nancial planning, leadership skills, and democratic ideas to use in family, work place, and community according to the school's course catalog. The vision statement which hangs on the door to the class- room reads, "Family and consum- er sciences education empowers individuals and families across the life span to manage the chal- lenges of living and working in a diverse, global society. Our unique focus is on families, work and their interrelationships."

North Mason was a nail-biting, overtime affair that saw the Bull- dogs miss several opportunities to win in regulation as well as over- time. Eventually though, the team from Tacoma prevailed 53- 50. "I really feel bad for the players," said North Mason coach Brian Roper. "We just haven't been able to get over the hump." The game started out a di- saster tbr the Bulldogs as Clover Park ran out to a quick 10-2 lead. The pace of the game settled down and the Bulldogs drew to within five at half time, 34-29. In the third quarter, North Mason outscored the visitors 15:9 to take a one point lead at 44-43. THE BULLDOGS came alive with 5:13 to go in the game when Jeremy Huffman hit a three- pointer, pushing North Mason's lead to 48-46. After Clover Park tied the game at 48-48 with three minutes to play, North Mason's Casey Reynolds made a strong baseline move for a lay up. But that would be the end of the scoring for North Mason. Clover Park's 6'-4" center Mike Parker hit a short jumper to tie the game, sending it into over- time. In the overtime session, a lid seemed to be affixed over the moved out to a three-point lead, and eventually the win. North Mason's record tell to 3-6 in league and 8-8 overall. Rey- nolds led the North Mason attack with 15 points and 13 rebounds. five regular season games. North Mason will now have to fight with league rival Washington for the number five seed, which ensures an invite to the district tourna- ment, to be held later this month. NORTH MASON gave it the old college try last week, but eventually lost to Clover Park in overtime, 53-50. However, the Bulldogs still have a chance to make the playoffs. With this issue we begin intro- ducing you to one community member per week in "Ite.rald Highlights." Dr. Gary Sleight, who resides in Victor, is a veterinarian in practice in North Mason. Born and raised in Pulhnan, he grew up in Bellevue, graduating from high school there. It was 19 years ago, in 1980 that Sleight came to work in Belfhir right out of' veteri- nary school. Sleight's wife Wendy is a speech therapist at Seabeck Ele- mentary School in the Central Kitsap School District. Their chil- dren are Amy, 14, who is a 9th grader at North Mason High School, and Kayla, 11, a 6th grad- er at Hawkins Middle School. Ills pare.nts are Duane and Jeanne Sleight of Grapeview. Another family member is "Frank," a Turkish Angora cat, pure white, with long hair and blue eyes. Frank, age 6 (42 in cat years), was adopted with his name intact, but Sleight guesses he was named for Frank Sinatra, "Old Blue Eyes." Sleight enjoys sailing, boating, travel, tropical fish, and watching his children play sports. If he could change his lifi in any way, it. would be to have more free time to be with his fhmily.
