k int
world of careers
By KEVIN SPRADLIN
The idea of the annual
Career Day at Hood Canal
School was for students to
learn something from the
pros.
On Friday, it might have
been the other way around.
Inventor Gordon Gerb-
ing -- famous for heated
clothing, for which Harley
Davidson serves as a ma-
jor retailer -- presented
i~he benefits of his outer-
wear, which has military,
industrial and recreational
applications. Tiffany Rut-
{edge wanted him to ex-
~)and to the educational
:field.
"Have you ever consid-
~red heated backpacks,"
:,he sixth-grader asked.
No, said the 82-year-old

!ttes $12 million each year
:in sales.
"Well, that's something
for me to think about,"

While students might be
asked to improve in a num-
ber of areas during their
career as students, Dens-
ley said it's important to
know which ones you "like.
"Any skills that you
have, work on them," she
said. "And the ones you
love the most, work on
them a lot."
It takes a special skill

does for a living.
Pace works at Lega-
cy Canine Behavior and
Training in Sequim. On
Friday, her dog Daisy took
the limelight.
Pace said when she met
Daisy, the dog had been
abused and was in poor
physical condition.
Daisy, Pace said, had
been dragged behind a
moving truck, shot at, "was
covered in scabs," and was

The question facing
Pace, though, was how
much mental damage Dai-
sy might have suffered.
Pace said she completed
a number of behavior tests
with the dog and, after a
year, Daisy was a certified
Good Canine Citizen.
Robin Von Ruden was
one of four students who
spearheaded a committee
to organize this year's pre-
sentation of professionals.
Robin said the commit-
tee first brainstormed to
draft a list of every pos-
sible profession that came
to mind.
Then, through a series
of decisions and a survey
from fellow students, the
group narrowed down the
list of potential presenters
to 18.
Of those, 12 were asked
to come speak to students
at the school.
Speakers included: An-
drea Wilbur, a Native
American artist; Ruth
Peterson, glass artist;
Kitara Pace, dog trainer;
Jeremy Bucklin, wireless

Hallek and Rick Johnson,
