School Board Recognition Month.
She presented certificates to
board members Karen Sorger,
Jeff Allen, George Fouts, and
Steve Rose. Walt Henningsen was
absent for medical reasons.

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. Emma is a 7th grader, and Hilma a 10th grader. Joining
their parents Stan and April Yantis is Rory McDaniel.
'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.

seemed to be affixed over the

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.
