Stone Mason

Masonry is the building material used for the construction of brick, concrete, and rock structures. A stone mason constructs, erects, installs, and repairs structures using brick, concrete block insulation, and other masonry units. Walls, arches, floors, and chimneys are some of the structures that a stone mason builds or repairs.

Part of the responsibility of a stone mason is to cut and trim masonry materials to certain specifications. A stone mason's work tools include a framing square for setting project outlines, levels for setting forms, a line level for making layouts and setting slope, and a tape measure.

Masons need a working knowledge of ratios for mixing concrete and mortar. A foundation in algebra and geometry is helpful for laying out a

building site, and for building the frames that will contain the object being built. An ability to calculate slope, volume, and area is important for a stone mason. A basic knowledge of trade math is required for most stone mason training programs and apprenticeships.

	JOURNAL SENTINEL ALL-STATE GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM Player of the year Paulus is special La Crosse Central star's all-around talent makes her tough on court; The First Team Carrie Dykstra Waupun Dykstra, a 6-foot senior, is strong enough to finish her shots inside and smooth enough to be effective on the perimeter. While there might be other players faster and quicker, she is a deceptively good athlete with good body control. She is one of those players who lets the game come to her. Dykstra scored 506 points in 26 games, a 19.5 average, as Waupun shared the Little Ten Conference title and reached the WIAA Division 2 state semifinals. She shot 55.1% from two-point range, 42.5% from three-point range and 80.3% from the free-throw line. She also averaged 7.7 rebounds and 4.4 assists. While she didn't have one of her better games in a loss to Kimberly at the state tournament, she had some of her best games in other big games: scoring 27 in the sectional final against previously unbeaten Greendale, and 25 against Portage and University of Wisconsin recruit Missy Konieczny in a non-conference game. "She's very versatile. She can carry a team," said Jeff Schweitzer, the coach at Columbus. "She is, bar none, the best player I saw all year, and the most versatile." Talia Goudy Milwaukee Washington Goudy, a 5-11 senior forward, is a special athlete who has few, if any peers, as a rebounder. But she brings more to the game than just her leaping ability and timing under the boards. She can run the court, handle the ball and finish a break. She also is a capable shooter up to 15 feet and a quick, pesky defender. Goudy was the leading rebounder and second-leading scorer for Washington, which had a 24-2 record going into the WIAA Division 1 state tournament final Saturday night. In her first 26 games, Goudy scored 263 points, a 10.1 average. She shot 43.6% from the floor, all on two-point shots, and averaged 7.7 rebounds. There also is no telling what her numbers would have been like if her playing time hadn't been limited in Washington's 12 conference games, which it won by an average of 29 points. "If she was allowed to run up the score and play the whole game, her stats would be up there with anybody in the state," said Bill Scasny, coach of Milwaukee Divine Savior Holy Angels, the WISAA state champion and a team that lost to Washington during the regular season. "She's able to shoot the ball inside or outside, run the floor. I think she was the difference between our team and her team." Dee Dee Pate Milwaukee Washington Pate, a 5-5 senior guard, was the glue to Washington's team. She didn't score big, partly because of her unselfish play. However, she is a composed, lightning-quick floor leader with good vision and a knack for finding the open player. Her leadership played a big role in Washington reaching the final of the WIAA Division 1 state tournament and compiling a 24-2 record in the process. Pate was first in assists and third in scoring for Washington heading into the final. She scored 265 points in her team's first 26 games, a 10.2 average. Along with shooting 57.4% from two-point range, she averaged 4.9 assists and 2.6 steals per game. "I think she is the perfect example of a team player who might not have flashy stats but knows how to control her team," said Jim Kerkvliet, the coach at Racine Park. "She has that point-guard mentality. She can control the flow of the game." Lisa Oldenburg West Allis Hale Oldenburg, a 6-2 senior, was Hale's go-to player whether she was posting up inside in her role as the team's center or playing on the wing, which she had the athletic ability to do. She is a quick and agile athlete who can get a rebound on the defensive end, throw the outlet pass and make the layup at the other end. She also has a nice jump shot from the 12- to 15-foot range and the ability to handle the ball. Oldenburg scored 424 points in 24 games, a 17.7 average, as Hale won the Southeast Conference Central Division and finished 22-2. She shot 60.4% from the floor, all from two-point range; and averaged 12.2 rebounds and 3.5 steals, the latter an impressive number for a center. "She plays in a real team concept, but she does a lot of things that don't appear in the score book," said Jay Posick, the coach at Waukesha South. "I think she had a phenomenal year."

	PREP PREVIEW: BOYS SOCCER Greater Metro stands a header above the rest Conference is loaded with solid programs; ATHLETES TO WATCH Sean O'Brien, sr., Hartford: All-state player the last two years and the conference player of the year in '96, he is one of the fastest midfielders in the area. His excellent ball control and work ethic accounts for his nine game-winning goals and assists combined last year. Chris Dabaian, sr., New Berlin Eisenhower: Allowed just four goals in 10 Parkland Conference games last year and had 11 shutouts in all. Spent nearly three weeks in the summer training in Holland. Nikola Stancevic, sr., New Berlin Eisenhower: With his teammate Dabaian, this midfielder also made the all-state team last season. He had 12 goals, but seven of them were game-winners. He also assisted on two other game-winning goals. "When we need the game to be won, he's there," coach Mark Steinlein said. Joe Hammes, sr., Marquette: An all-state defender last year, Hammes is very strong in the air and is a technically sound player. "With him we'll win the ball in the air," coach Bob Spielmann said. "You don't want that ball to drop so someone can pounce on it." Eric Kubacki, sr., Marquette: Another all-state selection for the Hilltoppers, this midfielder is known for great distribution of the ball. Kelly Markgraf, sr., Cedarburg: As one of the few returning starters from the state championship team, this all-state midfielder is known for his leadership skills. Dominic DaPra, sr., Racine St. Catherine's: An all-state forward last season, he is one of the fastest in the state. "Very few high school kids play striker at his pace," coach Tony Guinn said. "He's at three times their speed." Ramone Saavedra, sr., Milwaukee South: As a forward, he scored 26 goals last season. "He is a dangerous threat whenever he touches the ball," coach John Welk said. Tim White, sr., Milwaukee Pius: His is a soccer family: older brother Pat plays for the Wave, other brother Eric plays for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. White is a smart midfielder and the leading scorer for Pius last season. Though he stands just 5 feet 7 inches, he packs "a lot of power in a small package," coach Roger Radke said. Nicholas Walls, jr., Wauwatosa East: This junior forward is already called by some coaches a lock for the all-state team. His speed already has Division I colleges interested. Wes Wild, sr., West Allis Hale: As a fourth-year starting midfielder, Wild is, at 6-0, one of the strongest and biggest players in the area and built more like a linebacker than a soccer player. Andrew Hatch, jr., Whitefish Bay: A skilled and technically sound player, Hatch will direct traffic and create opportunities in the midfield. Mike Janusz, sr. Waukesha Catholic Memorial: First team all-Metro conference last year, he led the team in assists in '96. Fred Kinateder, sr., Waukesha Catholic Memorial: As a forward, he led the team in scoring and is known for being creative and finishing at the goal. Jonathan Simpson, sr. Brookfield East: He is coming back at forward from a torn anterior cruciate knee ligament last season and is a good finisher. Sean Reti, sr., Brookfield East: Already orally committed to play at Marquette University, the forward has the ability to take on opponents. He is also new to the area, coming from Ohio. Ryan Schweitzer, sr., Kettle Moraine: Possibly one of the best sweepers in the state, he is cool and level-headed under pressure. He settles the entire team down with his ball-handling. Newspaper article from: The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel; 8/22/1997; ; 700+ words ; ...the public and private school state champions come out of this conference...says this is the best in the state.

	Challenges confront Brookfield East; Athletes to Watch Jim Albert, sr., Racine St. Catherine's: A 6-foot-4 all-state forward, Albert is a legitimate Division I college prospect. Excels in the open field and his size allows him to go up and over opponents. Blake Bostwick, sr., Port Washington: A forward who excels at ball handling, Bostwick has been tabbed first-team all-North Shore Conference since his sophomore season. He also earned all-state honors last season. Scott Dombrowski, sr., West Allis Hale: An all-around player who was named all-state, Dombrowski was the Southeast's leading vote-getter in all-conference voting last season. He finished with 17 goals and 13 assists. Sean O'Brien, jr., Hartford: A midfielder, O'Brien was the lone sophomore to be named to the all-state team last season. He possesses superb speed and ball control. B.J. Swalve, sr., Cedarburg: A first-team all-North Shore midfielder, Swalve was terrific last season for a team that advanced to the Division 1 state title game. With another year under his belt, he should be even better. Joe Henkey, sr., Racine St. Catherine's: This all-state midfielder also boasts terrific size and skill. Another Division I prospect. Scott Repa, sr., Racine Prairie: An all-state forward, Repa did everything last season to help lead Prairie to the WISAA Division 2 title game. Kevin Wiebe, sr., Grafton: Was the lone junior defender named to the all-state team last season. Should provide Grafton with superb play and leadership this season.
