Racheal Duggan
By DEAN SIEMON
Racheal Duggan, who
holds a 3.55 grade point av-
erage as a senior at Shelton
High School, is committed
to the school's chapter of the
Navy Junior Reserve Officer
Training Corps (NJROTC).
"Pretty much most of my
activities revolve around
that," she said.
Duggan holds three dif-
ferent positions in the club
- commander of competition
of Color Guards, commander
of Armed Drill Team and ex-
ecutive officer.
With the Armed Drill
Team, Duggan will take part
in a regional competition on
April 16 at Washington High
School in Tacoma.
Duggan's job is to call the
commands from a regulated
list of movements that each
team must perfect. The drill
team consists of 20 Shelton
NJROTC students.
"I call the commands to
what they're supposed to be
doing," she said. "Each per-
son has to look exactly the
same and have the move-
ments timed."
After the first "regulation"
phase of the regional com-
petition, she said the "exhi-
bition phase" allows a little
more freedom.
"It's our signature ~nere's
what we can do,~ Duggan
said.
With all of the responsibil-
ities, Duggan said her every
day schedule is "extremely
tight."
"But when I get the
chance, I like reading," she
said.
Duggan also enjoys sew-
ing, which she has done for
her senior project. She con-
struced a formal gown for
herself and wore it to the Na-
val Ball last year in April.
"My morn used to sew all
my clothes," she said. '~en I
wanted to sew and it became
something I liked."
She is currently work-
ing on her senior ball dress,
which has required her to
work on the detail of the fab-
ric and match a dress she
found online.
As for college, Duggan
said she will attend West-
minster College in Salt Lake
City, Utah and study in the
education program.
"I'm going to be a math
~acher," she said. Her big-
gest inspiration was her
eighth grade math teacher.
"She was the first teach-
er that allowed me to work
ahead of my class and got me
to help other students," Dug-
gan said.
As for a dream job, Dug-
gan said she doesn't know
where she wants to work af-
ter she graduates from West-
minster.
"I figure when I'm done,
the right job will fall in my
lap," she said.
Duggan said she will prob-
ably miss the scenery of the
Pacific Northwest, most
importantly the trees and
mountians.
"[Salt Lake City] is all city
and it's all fiat," she said.

Learn about local spring mushrooms
Roger Ryno, President of the Kitsap Peninsu-
la Mycological Society (KPMS), will give a pre-
sentation about mushrooms that grow in the lo-
cal area during spring. The program will be held
at the Shelton Timberland Library (William G.
Reed Public Library) at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday,
April 26. The presentation is sponsored by the
Friends of the Shelton Timberland Library.
Ryno will talk about the ecology of the fasci-
nating local fungi and offer tips for successful
foraging and harvesting. People are encour-
aged to bring samples of mushrooms they'd
like identified. While Ryno may not be able to
identify every one, he will do his best.
Ryno is a 10-year resident of Central Kit-
sap. Before coming to the Pacific Northwest, he
spent 20 years in the agricultural industry as
a plant pathologist working to prevent fungal
diseases of fresh fruit. His background in fungi
fed his curiosity over the varied and beautiful
display of mushrooms he saw every year in the
local woods. That curiosity led to involvement
in KPMS, the local mushroom club.
KPMS is a non-profit organization. Its pur-
pose is to study, collect and identify fungi, in-
cluding mushrooms. It strives to educate mem-
bers and the local community in proper fungi
identification, which is key in promoting safe
and healthy gathering and consumption. Me,-

and professional mycologists. A fascination
with the fungi kingdom is its only requirement.
