HIGH SPOTLIGHT Shelton soccer captain to focus on career By DEAN SIEMON Cesary Apaez, a Shelton High School senior, has been working towards becoming the captain of the Highclimbers' boys soccer teanl. Ever since he was born in Shel- ton and even when the family moved to Mexico when he was 12, soccer has always been a passion for Apaez. "I started practicing with people in the Hispanic leagues," he said. "I was really proud of myself and my family was proud of me, too." Apaez played his freshman year at Carl Hayden High School in Phoenix, Ariz. before the family moved back to Shelton. "We were just vising our fam- ily," he said. While his head coach Marcelino Dumpit has talked to him about helping find a soccer scholarship, Apaez is looking to go to school for a degree in dental hygiene. His top choice for school is Eastern Washington University in Cheney. "That's the only four-year school that has a carrier program," Cesar Apaez Apaez said. His second option for college is to apply to South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia. While Apaez has been a lead- ing goal scorer since last season, he said he wants to keep soccer as a secondary focus while in college. "My first goal is to finish my ca- reer and then after that, I'll play soccer if I have time," he said. "What happens if I break my leg or something happens?" Apaez said one of the most im- portant things to him is his cul- ture, as well as his family. "My parents are everything for me," he said. '~rhey showed me to respect other people. They've al- wayse been supporting me." His family also includes his younger siblings, Erik and Jac- quelyn. Apaez said that his weeks are always busy, whether he's in school, on the soccer field or at work. During the week, he is in school full-time, followed by either a practice till 7 p.m. or a game that lasts longer. But on the weekends, Apaez works at the Alderbrook Resort in Union, attempting to pick up as many hours as he can. "Every Friday I start working till Sunday," he said. "As soon as soccer is over, I'll work more." With only his classes left to finish before graduation in June, Apaez said his goals before he leaves Shelton is to help the soccer team improve from last season. "I want us to go to the playoffs and for us to go farther than last year," he said.

National Library Week feature: Joanne Clarkson A writing workshop titled "Writing Miracles: Sharing the Great and Small Triumphs," is scheduled to coincide with Na- tional Library Week 2011, April 10 - 16. Author Joanne Clarkson will lead participants through ac- tivities geared toward describing events that have touched them in significant ways. Both experi- enced and first-time writers are welcome. The program will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Shel- ton Timberland Library on Satur- day, April 16. This year's library week theme is "Create your own story at your library." Participants may write in the form of their choice: autobi- ography, memoir, poetry, even short stories or novels based on incidents in their lives. This is a hands-on workshop that covers everything from choosing and de- fining a topic to organizing, edit- ing and finding a voice through excellent writing skills. Useful library resources will be high- lighted and worksheets will be provided. Ms. Clarkson believes that all of us have moments--rang- ing from birth and death, to an encounter with nature, to an un- expected human kindness--that touch us profoundly. "By finding the words to describe these expe- riences, we preserve and define them for ourselves. By sharing them with others, we give hope and beauty to the world," said Clarkson. Author Joanne Clarkson A librarian for 20 years, Ms. Clarkson has Masters Degrees in Creative Writing and Library Science. She is the author of two chapbooks of poetry and pub- lishes regularly in magazines and journals. In 2010, she was a winner of the Pacific Northwest Playwright Association's annual poetry contest.
