es, trains. Here I have to ask to

During her first term at North
Mason, Anika studied Spanish,
math, ancient Greek literature
and was a teaching assistant for
a German language class. The
hardest class fbr her was the
literature class because she was
still working hard to understand
English as it's spoken here, but
she did well. This term, she's
now studying United States his-
tory, Spanish II, chemistry and
world history.
NOT SURPRISINGLY,
Anika plans on going on to uni-
versity when she graduates (her
school system has 13 grades in-
stead of" our 12). As a future oc-
cupation, she's considering the
field of international banking.
She will return to Dortmund
in June and as an added treat
she will be taking her 15-year-
old host sister Cassie back with
her for a two-month visit.
Lucia Dilska will be 18 in
March and comes to North Ma-
son from the city of Kosice, the
second-biggest city in Slovakia,
in east-central Europe.
She is the daughter of Mire-
slav and Tatiana Dilska and
has an older sister. Her father
teaches computers at the college
level and her mother is an archi-
tect.
Lucia applied for exchange
student status with Cultural
Homestay International which
placed her with Belfair's Jim
and Melanie Settlemeir. The
Settlemeirs live on Romance
Hill and have two younger chil-
dren, Nicole, age 9, and Steven,
age 7.
She is a senior at North Ma-
son, but will not graduate with
the class of 2007. She, like An-
ika, still has one more year of
schooling to go once she returns
home to Europe.
DURING HER first term at-
North Mason she took classes in
physical education/bodyshaping,
United States history, German
and math. The hardest one fbr
her was the history class since
she was still working on under-
standing English as it is spoken
here.
"But I became an exchange
student to learn English," she
says. "You need it everywhere
in Europe."
Her second term is going very
well for her and she is taking
Aquatic World (a science class),
English, German and math.
Her biggest adjustment in
coming to America has been get-
ting used to living in a house,
instead of an apartment, in a
very small rural place that "has
no noise of the city." But she
has been to Seattle and to her
friends' houses.
Lucia is confident that she
will go to college but presently
has no idea what major she'll
pursue or what sort of career
she'd like to have.
JANE NGUYEN is 16 and
comes to Belfair from Hanoi,
Viet Nam, through the Aspect
Foundation. Her father, Vu Anh
Nguyen, is a computer engineer
with a software company called
MiSoft, specializing in Internet
security. Her mother, Yen Hai
Vu, manages the Hoa Long res-
taurant in Hanoi. She also has a
younger brother, age 9.
Jane's cousin was an ex-
change student in America last
year and that interested Jane.
She applied "through the As-
pect Foundation and requested
a placement on the West Coast
because it's closest to Viet Nam.
Jane's host parents are Ran-
dy and Kathy Hall of Belfair
and her host sister is 16-year-
old Mary Katie Hall.
Randy is the pastor of Allyn
Baptist Church and church par-
ticipation is new to Jane, whose
family, like most in Viet Nam, is
not religious.
Back in Hanoi, Jane attended
Hanoi Amsterdam High School
and studied a variety of subjects.
During her first term at North
Mason, she studied accounting,
United States history, algebra,
and ancient Greek literature.
At the county:
People needed
for park group
The Mason County Parks and
Trails Department is cun:ently
recruiting citizens to serve on
a newly established Parks and
Trails Advisory. Board.
The purpose of the Mason
County Parks and Trails Advso-
ry Board is to provide guidance,
direction and recommendations
regarding the planning, acquisi-
tion, development and operation
of parks, trails, facilities and
programs serving the needs of
Mison County.
The Board should consist of
seven members with member-
ship of two members from Com-
missioner District 1, two mem-
bers from Commissioner District
2, two members from Commis-
sioner District 3 and one at-large
member. If the park board can-
not be filled with members from
the respective districts as de-
sired, at-large members residing
anywhere in Mason County can
be substituted.
For the appointed positions on
the County Parks and Trails Ad-
visory Board the initial terms will
be two years for two positions,
three years for two positions,
and four years for the remain-
ing positions plus the period in
THE MOST difficult class for
her was history because she was
not familiar with the subject
while the easiest was algebra.
Jane describes her life here
as very similar to that in Viet
Nam, although Belfair is very
quiet with many more trees and
much smaller than her home.
Another difference is that back
home she had moved in with her
grandmother in an apartment
to be closer to her school. Her
folks live in a house much like
her host family's home.
She has also been introduced
to baseball and spends most
of her days doing homework,
watching televison and spend-
ing time with her host family.
Jane will apply to Notting-
ham College in England to pur-
sue a computer degree.

the community.
"He's not only a business own-
er, but a longtime leader in lo-
cal youth sports and community
concerns," the release stated.
"He's really shown that he's the
best at getting people to pull to-
gether and work toward a com-
mon goal."
Neatherlin's recognition as a
"Theler Hero" was made at The-

presented with a framed cer-
tificate by school district su-
perintendent Tom Kelly and

Landram.
Neatherlin's departure, along
with that of Tom Higgins in No-
vember, left two board vacan-
cies. Those seats have since been
filled by real-estate agent Greg
Oldham and businessman Dave
Kinnee. Remaining members in-
clude Jim Clark, Linnie Griffin
and Mary Swoboda.
