Still basking in the afterglow
of a championship football sea-
son, Jason Stedman says he's
just trying to enjoy his senior
year.
"It's been memorable," he pro-
claims. In the course of achiev-
ing the pinnacle in the Rivers
League, Jason notes he made
many good friends. "Basically
they're like my brothers now," he
says.
The Highclimbers' center has
been playing football since mid-
dle school, always on the line.
"Basically, it's all us; if we don't
block, the play doesn't happen,"
he comments. With a smile, Ja-
son adds, "You get to touch the
ball every play."
CENTER AND quarterback
do have a unique bond, he con-
cedes. "We were pretty close. We
had two quarterbacks this year,"
Jason explains, "and I'm good
friends with both of them. We
hang out a lot afterwards, not just
on the field. Yeah, we have to
have a good relationship because
it wouldn't work if we didn't."
This year there was a cohe-
siveness among a group of se-
niors, which Jason thinks con-
tributed to the team's success.
"We set goals before the season
and we wanted to accomplish
them," Jason notes. "That was
probably a big factor in our sea-
son, just cause all of us, we're
good friends."
The commitment to the goals
startci last summer when Jason
says, "All of us, not just three
people, would come into the
weightroom or run or stuff.
Everybody, like all the linemen,
would come and run and lift
weights. It was great.
"We were all in good shape,"
he continues. "That's probably
why we did so good, and our to-
getherness. If you have a close
team, then they're going to be
good because they all play togeth-
er."
JASON CREDITS the coaches,
too. "They would make sacrific-
es for us, like they spent so much
time watching game film for us,
studying and giving us chances,
I guess, to better ourselves.
They'd basically do anything for
us," he testifies, "and they still
would even after the season.
They're a bunch of great guys."
Jason confesses, "I know I'm
going to miss football." He
doesn't think he'll play beyond
high school. "I'm just not big
enough or tall enough. I haven't
thought about it."
So what will be his best memo-
ry of football games? "Best game
I ever played in? That's a good
Original artwork by Mason
County youth is on display
through March 26 at Reed Li-
brary.
The artists, ages 14 to 18, sub-
mitted their work for the ninth
annual Mason County High
School Art Show, co-sponsored by
Peninsula Art Association and
Friends of the William Reed Li-
brary.
Caitlin Hansen won Best of
Show for her colored pencil
drawing of hazelnuts. The Shel-
ton High School junior also re-
ceived a second-place ribbon for
her oil pastel of a child amid big
trees and an honorable mention
tbr her watercolor of a young
woman and a waterfall.
"IT'S PRETTY exciting,"
tJansen said of her distinction.
Last year she entered this same
art show and did not win a thing.
"I think I've improved a lot over
the last year," she commented.
Although she has always liked
to draw, Hansen did not begin
taking art classes until last year
at the high school. "Unless you
count an oil-painting class in
second grade," she added,
"which I don't think did much
good."

pastel, Hansen noted. "It's fun.
You can get the color out really
tast. You can manipulate it more
than watercolor," she observed.
Last Sunday, ribbons were
awarded for first, second and
third places in the following cat-
egories: painting, black and
white drawing, color drawing,
graphic design and three-di-
mensional art.
WINNERS IN the drawing
competition included Shelton
ttigh School student Aimee Aus-
eth, first with a colored drawing;
tlansen, second with an oil pas-
tel; Monica Festa of SHS, third
with a colored-pencil rendering
called "Michael."
Receiving honorable mention
were SHS artists Shannon Kis-
singer with an oil pastel,
"Ballerina," Rebecca Shipman
with an oil pastel and an entry
whose medium wasn't identi-
fied; Maria Akergren with an
oil pastel; Erica Elmlund with a
pastel, "Feeding in the Sunset,"
and Alisha Smith with a colored-
pencil drawing.
Painting honors went to Ai-

The first week of March came,
and it kept on raining. It felt like
it was going to be winter forever.
The second week of March
came, and the sun came out, and
it froze at night - froze hard
enough to blight some of the
tough blooms that had withstood
the rain. It felt like it was going
to be winter forever.
Early this week, it rained
again, and there was snow in the
rain. Getting out of my car to
teach an evening class at Olympic
College, I pulled my collar up
around my ears as the slushy
drops fell and wondered if maybe
