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.
