fills .S .S S H S reu n ions slated By NATALIE JOHNSON This spring, the Empty Bowls pro- gram will help fill empty bowls and hungry mouths in Mason County. Now in its sixth year, the Empty Bowls program, put on by the city of Shelton Parks and Recreation Depart- ment and the Shelton Arts Commis- sion invites locals to spend three nights creating and enjoying unique works of art at the Shelton Civic Center. "It's done all over the place really ... the original concept is that artists produce bowls, and then the general public come and make a donation or through an auction purchase the bowls," parks and recreation manager Mark Ziegler said. "Our arts commis- sion really wanted to get people in- volved in a hands on art project." On the first day of the project, from 5 to 7 p.m. on March 16 at the civic center, the parks department and arts commission will provide clay free of charge to anyone who wants to come and make a bowl. "They're given a lump of clay, and there's a few different techniques and they're really easy, you're not on a wheel or anything- it's all hand build- ing," Ziegler said. "There's a pinch pot where you start with a ball of clay and with your fingers you just sort of pinch it, you can do a coil where you kind of roll it out and stack it on top of each other, or you can use an existing bowl and kind of mold it around it." After two weeks, giving arts com- mission volunteer Glen Helen a chance to dry and fire all of the bowls, people are invited to come back and-paint their bowls from 5 to 7 p.m. on March 30, at the civic center. After another two weeks, on April 13, the bowls will be done, and anyone can come and with a suggested dona- tion of $10, take their bowl, or an un- claimed one, and eat soup and bread donated by local restaurants: Ste- vens, Xinh's Clam and Oyster House, Vern's,and the Olympic Bakery. All the proceeds, Ziegler said, go to the Saint's Pantry Food Bank in Shel- ton. Ziegler said that absolutely every- one is welcome and able to participate in the project. "From toddlers to seniors, we have full families and daycares that bring kids down," he said. "So anybody with any ability. It's really easy and if you mess up you start all over again." Aider five years of doing the project, Ziegler said the city has raised $5,000 for the food bank. "Last year was our biggest year," he said. We were probably in the 130 to 140 range so we probably had close to 200 bowls." Ziegler said that everyone can make a bowl for themselves, and usually there are extra for people who only come on the last day. No sign up is required. For more in- formation call 432-5194.

Shelton Cinemas presents free show to help SOC K On Sunday, March 13, Shelton Spiritual Cinema will show the full-length film, "Being in Heaven," said Bob Bottman, who is showing the film. "This film is basically a dinner conversation be- tween the two main char- acters: Michael Rowland, Australia's most successful self-development author and Jason Masterman, young man in need of a life change," Bottman said. He explained that, during the conversation, Rowland guides Masterman through practical, powerful steps to access his innate talents and abilities. During this process, Jason discovers how to free himself from the web of his past and find the path to an extraor'- dinary future, Bottman said. "Through the Jason Masterman character the audience is invited to gain the same knowledge and discover similar insights, Bottman added. "Being in Heaven" has the potential to literally change lives." "Being in Heaven" will be shown starting at 11 a.m. on Sunday, March 13 at the Shelton Cinemas, 517 W. Franklin Street, Shelton. There is no charge for admission, but dona- tions are welcome and ap- preciated. All proceeds benefit SOCK's (Save Our County's Kids) youth pro- grams in Shelton.
