What's Cookin'?
Sybil, fills retirement with service
By MARY DUNCAN
When Sybil Jones retired in
1990 from teaching home eco-
nomics in Centralia after 22
years, she took some well-de-
served time off. "I gave myself a
year after I retired," she recalls,
"and then I said, 'Well, I'll get
busy."
And Sybil has been busy de-
voting her considerable talents
and energy to causes near and
dear to her heart. It all started at
Shelton's Head Start.
"I'm really interested in pro-
moting Head Start," she pro-
claims. "I've been a volunteer in
Ann Clark's classroom since
1991. She has a class of 4 and 5
year olds and I go in one day a
week. My goal is to help with the
children and maybe help with
some of the chores so that she can
spend time with the children or
taking notes on things she needs
to bring up with parents."
ALTHOUGH HER smile-
filled face tells all, she contin-
ues, "It's a delightful time. It's
really a wonderful time because
the children are so giving and
accepting, and it's fun whether
you read them a story or help with
a puzzle."
She observes that one of the
nice things about the Head Start
program is that the children get
to use glue and crayons and
make messes. "We don't ever
worry about 'don't get your hands
dirty,' that kind of thing.
They're encouraged to work with
the materials," Sybil notes.
"The thing I like so much
about it is it's for the whole fami-
ly," she says of her attraction
Head Start. "Sure, they have to
tell quite a bit about their fami-
lies and divulge quite a bit of
personal information, but then if
they need help with education or
budgeting or emotional or social
problems, the resources are
there. They are provided confi-
dentially and it's just so wonder-
ful."
Working with preschoolers is
not foreign to Sybil. "One of
things I did as a home and fami-
ly life teacher was
on child develo
last years I was there, at Centra-
lia High School, we built a child
development center," she re-
calls. That made it possible for
students to participate in operat-
ing a preschool. "That was
really a lot of fun, a lot of enjoy-
ment and, of course, teenagers
are really good with children,"
she said.
SHE CONCEDES, "That was
my favorite part of teaching, at
least during the latter years.
When I first taught, I really en-
joyed the food demonstrations.
We had a mirror and so you
could work and have everything
spread out and they would watch
and take notes. That was in the

early '70s when they were more
interested in taking notes and
really learning." An easy laugh
rolls forth.
Her association with the Head
Start led Sybil to membership in
Kiwanianne of Mason County.
She explains, "I knew they were
in existence because my husband
joined the Shelton Kiwanis." She
was looking for a way to help
Head Start financially as well
as in person. "So I thought, well
if I join some community groups,
I can,.italk them into
for Head Start so that's
how it all came about. She laughs
at her own motives then adds,
"And Kiwanianne has been very
supportive."
For instance, there's the an-
nual Christmas effort, done in
conjunction with Kiwanis. "We
spend money on Head Start fam-
ilies that choose to be helped. We
try to get an outfit of clothing for
each member and a household
item. Different people have dif-
ferent needs," she notes, adding
someone may require a dresser
or bed while some other family
needs a washing machine.
"We've done this in conjunction
with Toys for Tots, so that we
have used our money for house-

hold items and clothing."
She continues with increasing
passion, "We also in our budget
have some additional money we
have spent on other community
families 'cause some of us didn't
want to be so narrow. Not that
Head Start isn't needy, but there
are other groups that are needy in
town. Most of the time we've
spent it on families that have
some kind of developmental
delays."
KIWANIANNE also provides
scholarships to high school sen-
iors. Although she is not a mem-
ber of the scholarship committee,
Sybil comments, "We've tried to
branch out so we don't just go to
Shelton High School. We go to
CHOICE and we also looked at
students from North Mason be-
cause we are county, Kiwa-
nianne of Mason County.
"It's just a wonderful group,"
she says. "We do have all wom-
en. Our group is sponsored by
Shelton Kiwanis but we're not
Shelton Kiwanis members'
wives, although I happen to be."
With the opportunity at hand,
she makes her appeal. "Actually
we're seeking me/nbers. We'd
like people who have time and
energy to work on community
projects because we raise money,
and then we spend it in the com-
munity for needy folks.
"I hate to say there are only 14
of us right now so we do need
members. We'd like them to
come to a meeting. They could
contact me," she suggests offer-
ing her phone number, 426-1857.
"We meet on the second, and
fourth Mondays at the Methodist
church at 6 and we're usually
finished by 7:30. As they're join-

we care about is someone who's
interested in serving the com-
munity," Sybil emphasizes.
"We not only try to raise
money," she says. "We try to do
community projects, she says,
noting that as a service to the
community Kiwanianne runs a
duck pond for Forest Festival
and helps with the April 17 chil-
dren's art festival at Olympic
College Shelton.
A third hat which Sybil will-
ingly wears is as a League of
Women Voters member. "I am
really interested in them. I
joined a couple of years after we
came to the community, and I al-
ways wanted to belong. I was a
home ec teacher. It seemed like
all my waking moments were
busy either with family or that,"
she concedes.
"ONE OF THE first things
that I did was help Phyllis She-
tier register voters, which was
neat," Sybil remembers. "I
really enjoyed that and got ac-
quainted with Phyllis a little
bit."
Community respect is what
characterizes the league, a non-
partisan group, she says. "They
don't make rash conclusions.
And of course, one of our goals is
to educate voters. We aren't try-
ing to tell them how to vote," she
emphasizes. "We want them to
make up their own minds once
they have the information."
Gathering and disseminating
information is at the heart of the
League's latest project, a two-
year study of life in Mason
County in conjunction with a
look at the Growth Management
Act.
"Since I'm a retired teacher, I
did look at some of the education
aspects," she says of her League
assignment. "I'm really inter-
ested in tourism and also in eco-
nomics, because of my other con-
nections with Head Start."
TOURISM HERE and travel
abroad hold a special place in
Sybil's retirement. "It seems
like we're always showing our
friends and relatives around,"
she notes, "and we also belong to
a group called Friendship Force,
which promotes home stays with
people from other countries. Our
organization is based in Olym-
pia but we have several couples at
Mason Lake who belong.
Last summer, for instance, a
group from Italy spent six days
with hosts in Mason County and
Olympia. "We did a lot of group
activities," she says, instancing
a picnic at Staircase and a ferry
trip to Seattle. "We took them
around to show off the area and
that was a lot of fun."
Language wasn't really a
problem since some of the Itali-
ans, especially the younger ones,
spoke English. "Otherwise we
had dictionaries and a lot of
smiling and gesturing," Sybil
recalls. "You know, you get by.
You learn a few key words."
Again she chuckles.
She and her husband Don have
been at the other end of such a
visit. "Our first Friendship
Force endeavor we went to Bra-
zil. We had belonged for quite a
while and we got a flyer in the
mail that talked about tours to the
Amazon and to Rio," Sybil says.
"When I taught, I thought I'll
never get to go to that place but it
sounded so wonderful. So I said
to Don, 'Let's do it,' and so we
did. It was a great deal of fun."
THE COUPLE stayed with
hosts in a little town about three
hours south of Sao Paulo. "They
speak Portuguese in Brazil so
that was even more difficult than
Spanish," she concedes adding
that she remembered very little
from her own high school class.
"I did get the dictionaries out
and we tried to learn a few words
because people like it if you try to
learn their language, even
though you're not very good at it.
They really appreciate it," she
attests. "In fact, both my husband
and I would like to take Spanish
here but we never seem to stay
home when the beginning Span-
ish class is offered." That win-
ning laugh burbles out as she de-
scribes the visit, including three
days in the rain forest.
'%Ve went into Manaus a little
bit, and then took a boat up the Rio
Negro River to an eco-lodge," she
says, adding that they traveled
out in little boats to explore the
small waterways from the river.
"They took us on a walk in the
jungle where we learned about
medicinal plants. Of course, we
didn't take anything or pick
anything," she notes referring to
the sensitivity of the ecosystem.
"We just learned, but we were
trying to be very conscious of
preserving. That was really
quite wonderful."
THE JONESES' most recent
travel experience was earlier
this year, an Elderhostel ven-
ture. "Once you're 55, you can go
and take advantage of travel and
education." The couple went to
Jasper, Alberta during the last
week in January to learn about
photography in the mountains
and cross-country skiing.
"Jasper Lodge is just an abso-
lutely beautiful place and we
could not afford to go there except
if it were an Elderhostel."
While the Joneses enjoy trav-
el, Sybil does not see them leav-
ing their Agate home on land
purchased as vacation property
in 1974. When her husbafid re-
tired several years before she
did, he built their home and she
commuted to Centralia until her
retirement.
"We have grandchildren in
Vancouver, Washington, and in
Boise. We make trips there
several times a year. And my
husband's stepdad is in Mount
Vernon and my mother is in Ev-
erson north of Bellingham, so we
do a lot of running around," Sy-
bil comments. "We try to bal-
ance helping in the community
and enjoying our retirement as
far as traveling."
The recipe which Sybil shares
is one from Brazil. During the
summer, she says, she grows her
own arugula to use in the dish.

because people like it if you try to
learn their language, even
though you're not very good at it.
They really appreciate it," she
attests. "In fact, both my husband
and I would like to take Spanish
here but we never seem to stay
home when the beginning Span-
ish class is offered." That win-
ning laugh burbles out as she de-
scribes the visit, including three
days in the rain forest.
'%Ve went into Manaus a little
bit, and then took a boat up the Rio
Negro River to an eco-lodge," she
says, adding that they traveled
out in little boats to explore the
small waterways from the river.
"They took us on a walk in the
jungle where we learned about
medicinal plants. Of course, we
didn't take anything or pick
anything," she notes referring to
the sensitivity of the ecosystem.
"We just learned, but we were
trying to be very conscious of
preserving. That was really
quite wonderful."
THE JONESES' most recent
travel experience was earlier
this year, an Elderhostel ven-
ture. "Once you're 55, you can go
and take advantage of travel and
education." The couple went to
Jasper, Alberta during the last
week in January to learn about
photography in the mountains
and cross-country skiing.
"Jasper Lodge is just an abso-
lutely beautiful place and we
could not afford to go there except
if it were an Elderhostel."
While the Joneses enjoy trav-
el, Sybil does not see them leav-
ing their Agate home on land
purchased as vacation property
in 1974. When her husbafid re-
tired several years before she
did, he built their home and she
commuted to Centralia until her
retirement.
"We have grandchildren in
Vancouver, Washington, and in
Boise. We make trips there
several times a year. And my
husband's stepdad is in Mount
Vernon and my mother is in Ev-
erson north of Bellingham, so we
do a lot of running around," Sy-
bil comments. "We try to bal-
ance helping in the community
and enjoying our retirement as
far as traveling."
The recipe which Sybil shares
is one from Brazil. During the
summer, she says, she grows her
own arugula to use in the dish.
