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.
