MAGNET SCHOOL FOR ARTS
The third innovative and d.ru-
tic change would be the possible
creation of a magnet school for
the arts.
It is the piece Brooks feels is
crucial to the district. The prob·
lem, he said, is finding funding
to support the arts when some of
those programs are being cut
"('The arts isl one area I think
needs to be add.ressed right
away." he said. "Some of the
other board members think
putting in more mu.sic and arts is
something we want to do, but in-
cluding them and funding them
are two different things. lllat's
one of our goals. but the priority
of this has to do with how we'll
get funding in the next fiscal
year."
Grants seem like the best hope
for restructuring visual and per-
forming arts p~ on school
campuses. he said, but there is
another possibility.
The district is seriously con-
sidering the conversion of an ex-
isting school into a magnet arts
school that draws art students
from other c&trict schools, Black
said. The application-only pro-

The third innovative and dra.

crucial to the district. The prob·

one of our goals, but the priority
of this bas to do with how we'll
get funding in the next fiscal

Grants seem like the best hope
for restructuring visual and per-
fonning arts programs on school

another possibility.

By tagging one school as a
magnet ans school the district
would avoid lhe costs of supply-
ing every school with expensive
arts technology and equipment.

a good fit, Black said. because of
its award-winning drama and

school can u...e a four-room VI·

my wodd. I am so COHEN My mother
never understood
that once children become
adults and get married, It's
their show. It's no longer the
parent's place to have a
say-so, wield inftuence and
orchestrate. Growri children
have to call the shots for
themselves, because It's
their own lives they are
creating. It is their tum to
do it their way, because in
the end, when they are my
age and older, It is their
triumphs and
disappointments that they
will Jook back upon and
have to reconcile with
themselves. I love Joan
Didion's openi.Qg line in
The White Album: "We tell
ourselves stories in order to
live. M Yes we do, but even
stories can be stretched

endinp that they are all I
can think about or write
about. Death and marriage
touch all of our lives.
whether right here in
Newport-MM& or in
Tunbuktu.
My mother died in
September. It was an
amazin.g experience. I had
never before been ln the
presence of death so up
dose and personal The
Imminence of the ending
stripped away all the muck
that we were mired in and
made it p<>Mible for both of
us to let go and forgive.
Knowing we loved each
other deeply, even though
the relationship had been
100 hard for too long. made
the unexpected connection
and loving ln the end ever
more healing and sweet
So although I feel sad,
her death was actually a
blessing. My mother was
not a person who accepted
well even though she was
about to tum 90, she would
not surrender. She fought
hard to hold on to her
competence and
independence, even as time
eroded them merdlessly.
Her death released her from
railing against the bondage
of a body that was falling
and a Uf e that was getting
smaller and smaller. It
released me from the
increasingly more sad and
burdensome job of caring
for her and watching her
fail. In those ways. ii was a
good and timely ending for
both ofus.
But it is an ending. and a
huge one at that And the
enormity of it has caught
me by surprise. I thought I
would be relieved, and to
be honest. I am. But I am
also struck with the fact
that I am no longer the
child of anyone. I am no
longer Sissy's daughter. I
am no longer part of the
sandwich generation. I no
longer have to call. go to
visit every Sun~ run
interference with her
docton, be a aoundtng
boaid and generally just
lhow up in all the ways that
a dutiful daughter does.
And that is a big chanp!.
It ls also a beginn.tng. I
am now the elder ln the
family. The old folk. Weird.
How did I get here so fast?
And why does it fed so
different now that my
mother has died? I'm not
any older today than I was
yesterday.

I frequently gel asked if I
like my new son-in-law.
And I most certainly do, a
lot, but more importantly,
he likes me, and for this I
am grateful. That's because
it's their ballgame, and if I
want to play, I have to be
invited. Not that they get to
make all the game rules,
and I have no say-so,
because goodness knows I
don't shut my mouth very
well. But ii will be a request
or perhaps a conversation
rather than an outright
demand.
For me, my daughter's
marriage is both a
beginning and an ending. It
marts the end of her
attachment to me and the
beginning of my
relationship with my new
son-in-law-both a loss
and a gain. Which is the
way it usually is -a hidden
blessing in the seemingfy
horrific and an unexpected
gotcha in the midst of
happiness.
Our lives are filled with
beginnings and endings.
Too often, we find ourselves
stuck in between. Unable to
truly say goodbye, we are
unable to fully say hello.
There has to be a no, a door
firmly dosed, before we can
say yes and open our heart
to what's next. We see this
in divorce or when a life
partner dies or in a major
life transition. The grief at
the loss can be so
overwhelming and
pervasive that ii becomes
impossible to move on and
make the new connections
and the commitments to
them that create a new
beginning and help life
move forward.

from the leadership of senior co-
captains Bethany Vergara and
Heather Ouff. The Mustanp will
do without Vergara's sister. Brit-
tany, a senior wt season for
Mesa. But standing about three
inches taller than her sister,
Bethany should be able to fill in.
~Bethany and liacy [Bjelland]
are two people that have a great
shot," Weeks said. ~Both can also
penetrate to the basket well.·
Weeks said Bjelland is their
best three-point shooter and will
be coming off the bench. But this
season, he said, the team will not
be shooting as many threes.
"We came close to a record last
season," Weeks said. "We had
over 600 three-point attempts."
Despite the team not going to
the three-point shot as much,
the Mustan~ are going to rely
more on outside shooting than
the inside game. Weeks said. The
team is quicker and more ath-
letic this year, he said. and play-
ers have been practicing and
coming together as a team all
summer.
