Shelton High School senior Jai- me Carlson has played flute since the fifth grade and acted as a sec- tion leader of the school's marching band in her senior year. But Carlson said she decided to quit at the end of the recent semes- ter. "It was more like a divorce than me quitting," she said. "It took a lot of thinking and a lot of back and "forth." Carlson said she enjoyed having band teachers Chris Ward and Ran- dy Grostick, but that her interests have shifted recently. for at this point," Carlson said. Carlson is close to earning her real estate license through online courses while also working as a re- ceptionist at Shelton's Windermere Real Estate office - her mother and stepfather, Michelle and Don Sparks, both work at the Shelton office. "I'm actually coming up at the end," Carlson said.

"Real estate is my plan B and I don't have a plan A." But Carlson said she wants to major in business administration at Central Washington. Her interest in business came shortly after she helped the Shelton Rugby Football Club with fundraising with Mud Bay Coffee in Olympia.

She said she has always want- ed to play a sport in high school. "I really wanted to play volley- ball," she said. "But I'm not good at sports. So It was a big jump for me to tryout for rugby." Carlson is also a member of the school's Future Business Leaders of America and the Yearbook club. Carlson said she will miss the fa- miliar sites of Shelton, like her fa- vorite coffee spots. "I've lived in Shelton since forev- er," she said. "I'll miss the security." Apology and forgiveness workshop Dr. Billie Ann Davis, a nationally acclaimed speaker, consultant and personal coach whose area of exper- tise is reconciliation, will be in the Shelton area to lead a one-day work- shop called Apology and Forgiveness on Saturday, March 26. Her workshop, a benefit for non- profit women's retreat and resource organization Hypatia-in-the-Woods, will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Hol- ly House, a cottage the Hypatia orga- nization maintains for residencies for women in the arts and academia. Dr. Davis was a Holly House resident in 2008. Anyone can benefit from attending if they are interested in self-healing, are aware of an issue in their past that they would like to move beyond, or have personal issues of apology or forgiveness they want to work on, she says. Dr. Davis says she will also share with the group a secret about the na- ture of forgiveness and how it relates to a specific area of a person's life, a secret she says was shared with her and which she has vowed to pass on to others. Participants will be involved in large- and small-group exercises that require examining the nature of for- giveness and apology, discuss cases in which others have dealt with these matters and develop intentional strategies for addressing personal apology or forgiveness issues. Dr. Davis has worked for the U.S. Department of Army, Europe, and the U.S. Department of Labor. For 10 years she was on faculty at Seattle University, where she taught recon- ciliation in the executive and pasto- ral leadership programs. In addition to completing a book on reconcilia- tion, Dr. Davis continues her work as a personal development coach for people in business, education, and philanthropy. A suggested tax-deductible do- nation for the workshop is $75, and lunch will be provided. To register, and to receive direc- tions and pre-workshop materials, phone Carolyn Maddux at 426-2268 or contact her at cmaddux@hcc.net by e-mail.

Samantha likes to write and is tentatively looking at a journalistic vocation. She also is leaning toward the field of an early-childhood, special-needs career.

Oyster h6nt Continued from page B-1 "That's a lot of money- if you were to find out how much it would cost for 30 gallons of oysters," she said. The Oyster Ham dinner is scheduled for April 2 this year, and the doors of the Shelton Yacht club will be open to the public from 4 - 8 p.m. Tickets are $12 at the door for adults and $6 for kids under 12. 'Tee serve oysters and ham for those, and I am one of those, who don't care for oysters," Austin said. And just like clockwork as the volunteers were leaving the shoreline after two long hours of oyster picking, the rain started pouring down again, she said. "It worked out really good. Just as we were leaving, we had just gotten on the road to go, it let loose," she said. hands th Dr, Frederick J.

Cookin' Continued from page B-1 "People are going to bring their mandolins in from far and wide and this expert player is going to try them out in front of an audience," he said. He'll assess the sound ... it's been going on for two years now it's really popular." The festival will also have a band contest, a banjo con- test, a youth music program, a "band scramble," which will assemble bands from musicians drawn from a hat and a preliminary round of the 18 and under Acoustic Heritage band contest. ' Linder said that some of these things are unique to Bluegrass From the Forest, but there is one addition that is entirely Mason County specific. "The shows are all indoors which is often not the case at bluegrass festivals," he said. "They're all indoors so the weather won't be a fac- tor in the performance of the shows." Linder said that the fes- tival isn't just about bring- ing bluegrass enthusiasts together, but also about ex- posing everyone to quality music. "We're getting the best bluegrass band and show- ing people what high quality bluegrass music really is," he said. "We want them to be entertained." Tickets and ticket loca- tions are available online. For more information, go to Bluegrassfromtheforest. com.
