Canal stud snea 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 {'rom Tumwater who grew 4Jerbing's Heated Clothing t,o a company that gener- !ttes $12 million each year :in sales. "Well, that's something for me to think about," ;2rerbing said.

Fash-. ion designer Andrea Dens- ley, owner of Legacy Design Studio in Shelton, repeated to students how different areas of interest could re- late to her chosen field. Like computer graphic design?

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 set to do what Kitara Pace 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 "known as the trash can- 154 Meridian Court, Shelton Fri: 10AM-4PM, Sat: 9AM-3PM Fine furniture: Broyhill dining set, Lane Altavista living room inlaid pieces (coffee table, two end tables, side board), Lenoir CAPITOL .ouse china hutch, Hooker hutch, portable serving bar, Flex Steel couch and love Seat, ESTATE SAI,ES winged back chair, entertainment console, bed set, L-shaped desk, patio dining set (6 chairs, rectangular table, umbrella).

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 phone consultant; Mary Hallek and Rick Johnson, security officers; Jacob Mearse, emergency room nurse; Andrea Densley, fashion designer; Forest McCullough, logger; Keith Cooper and Roger O'Neill, collegiate basketball; two legal aides; Levi Moulton, mechanic; Gordon Gerb- ing, inventor; and Beth- any Tropp, wildlife biolo- gist.
