ARLINGTON — The Arlington Community Food Bank’s first Christmas bas-ket distribution at its new location met expectations and exceeded last year’s demand, according to food bank volunteers who served an estimated 400 families or more on Thursday, Dec. 22.

“That’s what we planned for and it looks like we’ll meet those plans,” said Barbara Wood, a data entry specialist and board member for the Arlington Community Food Bank. “We had an additional 100 family food boxes ‘adopted’ by a number of individu-als and agencies, including

Rotary, which donates a lot to us each year.”

The Angel of the Winds Casino followed its dona-tion of turkeys to the food bank for Thanksgiving by dropping off 80 hams while food bank volunteers dis-tributed Christmas baskets on the afternoon of Dec. 22.

“They’re always so gener-ous,” Wood said. “We’ve also got about 20 area churches that have donated stuffing mix, cornmeal mix, celery, carrots, apples and other fruits and vegetables.”

For the rest of their supplies the Arlington Community Food Bank works with buying services used by other food banks,

that allow them to buy food and other supplies in bulk much cheaper than what regular customers would pay.

“That’s why money is one of the best donations we can get,” Wood said. “We can get the basics without spending as much money as individu-als would have to.”

These finances and sup-plies are much needed since the Arlington Community Food Bank is serving more clients all the time. Last year’s holiday food basket distributions served only 325-350 families each, whereas this year, even non-holiday distribution days

Food bank serves holiday cheer to families

ARLINGTON — Post Middle School students recently helped make the holidays a bit less bur-densome for local families in need with a five-day donation drive for the Arlington Community Food Bank that collected 1,350 pounds of food and raised $1,150, all of which went to the food bank.

Post Middle School teacher Jody Bergeson’s sixth-grade class generated more items for the food bank than any other class, although fellow Post sixth-grade teacher Robin Foster emphasized that the school places less priority on competition between classes than it does on working together to help out those in need.

The Post Leadership Class organized the food drive, sorting

the food and counting the money with the help of Post’s Chief Financial Officer, Megan Bryson, while Post ASB officers and other students helped unload the food and presented the food bank with an oversized check made out to the food bank.

“The timing of the delivery was during the Thanksgiving meal that the food drive provides,” Foster said. “Post students were able to sit down and have a bite to eat with many community mem-bers.”

“I’m not sure what I thought people who needed the food bank looked like, but it turned out that they looked just like us,” Post Leadership student Jacob Olson said.

have attracted between 75-90 families each.

“We know it’s tough out there,” Wood said on Dec. 22. “By tonight, all these boxes of food will be cleared out.”

Cindy Moe, treasurer and fellow board member of the Arlington Community Food Bank, praised the food bank’s temporary new location at the Arlington Municipal Airport for allowing them to gather all their food items for distri-bution in one area, rather than storing them in sepa-rate rooms due to a lack of space.

“It’s a safe environment,” Moe said. “We can even park our delivery truck inside of the facility to prevent it from being vandalized like it has been in the past.”

Moe noted that the food bank’s new location is even on the bus line, although she added that she’d like to see those bus routes’ hours changed to make them more convenient for the food bank’s clients.

In downtown Arlington, food bank clients with chil-dren were once again able to shop at the Arlington American Legion “Toys for Kids” event that same after-noon.

Arlington Legion Lounge Manager Debbie Jackson

explained that this year’s fundraising activities yield-ed $16,000, which was then augmented with another $5,000 worth of toys from other donors, plus contri-butions from the Arlington Fire Department and the Helping Hands thrift store, the latter of which chipped in $500.

“The Kmart in Marysville even let 20 of our shoppers come in at 6 a.m. one day, and local Boys Scout Troop 92 carried our purchases out to our cars for us.”

Not only did “Toys for Kids” have close to 1,100 toy items available for food bank families, but it’s already raised $2,000 toward next year.

Arlington Police arrest suspect in vehicle prowl

ARLINGTON — Early in the morning of Tuesday, Dec. 20, the Arlington Police Department arrested a suspect for a vehicle prowl in the 4000 block of 166th Place NE.

Arlington Police were dispatched shortly before 6 a.m., after receiving a 911 call from a resident reporting suspicious activity in the Country Manor neighborhood.

The suspect, a 19-year-old Arlington resident, has been linked to several other vehicle prowls in the area, and additional charges may be referred to the prosecutor.

The suspect was booked into Marysville Jail on misdemeanor charges of vehicle prowl in the second degree and violation of a protection order.

NEWS BRIEFS

ARLINGTON — With frosted windows in the morning, it might seem like a strange time to be thinking of the Great Stilly Duck Dash that’s held on the Fourth of July.

For the Rotary Club of Arlington, though, that fundraiser for the whole community is foremost in its members’ thoughts.

This season is the time when all of the Rotary Club’s efforts to raise money in sup-port of programs and organi-zations that enhance life for

kids, seniors and communi-ties in Arlington, Lakewood and Darrington pay off.

Since this summer’s Duck Dash, the Rotary Club of Arlington has donated almost $40,000 to the follow-ing local organizations:

■ $20,000 to the Arlington Community Food Bank for capital funds to build a new facility located near the Arlington Municipal Airport.

■ $5,000 to the Arlington Chamber of Commerce to help put on Frontier Days in

Arlington.■ $5,000 to Kids’ Kloset to

provide clothing and shoes to school kids in need

■ $4,000 to Open Door Theatre to teach students safety skills through dra-matic productions and pro-tect them from sexual and physical abuse, as well as bullying.

■ $2,500 to the Mount Baker Boy Scouts to improve a camping structure on Fire Mountain and enable year-round camping.

■ $1,100 to Boy Scout

Troop 29 to support its activities.

■ $1,000 to Rotary International’s PolioPlus program to eradicate the debilitating and deadly polio virus from the entire globe.

■ $500 to the Stillaguamish Senior Center to support events and services for seniors in Arlington and surrounding communities.

■ $500 to the Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps at Arlington High School to develop citi-zens of character.

■ Less than $500 to the Arlington Fire Department to purchase flags for the cer-emony on the 10th anniver-sary of 9/11, and to support

the Arlington “National Night Out” for community safety.

When someone buys a $5 ticket for the Duck Dash with the chance to win $5,000, those dollars go right back to the community, benefit-ting people as near as next door and even some around the globe.

The Rotary Club of Arlington belongs to Rotary International, the very first service club in the world, started more than 100 years ago. It’s one of the 34,000 Rotary Clubs in more than 200 countries. The Rotary Club of Arlington is a group of business owners, profes-sionals and community leaders who are dedicated to making the world and its

community stronger. It is committed to the ideal of “service above self.”

Rotary Club of Arlington President John Peeters presents a $20,000 check to the Arlington Community Food Bank board members.

How much fish and shell-fish do you eat?

For more than 20 years the state of Washington has based its water quality standards on the idea that we eat one small bite a day, or 6.5 grams. About the size of a sugar cube.

That number is very impor-tant to everyone who lives here because it is used to set state standards for how much pollution can legally be put into our waters. The number the state’s using right now isn’t even close to what most of us eat.

We’ve been working hard for the past two decades to encourage the state to adopt a more realistic rate that will better protect those waters, the food that comes out of them, and the health of every-one who lives here. Now it finally looks like the state Department of Ecology is taking steps to revise the old standards, and that’s encouraging.

It’s a sad fact that much of our local seafood is contaminated by pollution that seems to be every-where in our environment. The new consumption standard will be aimed at helping to reduce levels of more than 100 pollutants that can hurt people. Over the long term these poisons can make us sick and even kill us.

Sure, some people don’t eat

locally harvested seafood at all, but those of us who do sure as heck eat a lot more than a small bite a day. Even though tribal members eat a lot more fish and shellfish than most folks, many thousands of non-Indians — especially our Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities — also make seafood a large part of their diets.

It’s a shame that it’s taken so long to revise our state’s ridicu-lously low consumption standard, but the polluters have a strong lobby. They’ll tell us we can’t afford to protect our water, our food and our health, that new rules will lead to everything from lost jobs to higher sewer rates at a time when our economy is strug-gling.

The truth is that we’ve all been paying the costs of a low con-sumption rate for many years in terms of the quality of our water, food and our health.

Regardless of what number is chosen to update the consump-

tion standard, it’s unlikely to even come close to the amount of fish and shellfish tribes eat every day. But revising our state’s fish consumption standard is not just a tribal issue. It’s a public health issue that affects everyone who lives here. That’s why we support a significant increase.

We are standing on the edge of a great opportunity and we need to take bold action. Ecology will be holding public hearings on the new standards and you will have a chance to participate. Stand up for the water. Stand up for your food and your health. Let Ecology know that you eat fish and shell-fish from Washington waters. Tell them you want to see the new consumption standard adopted quickly, without major loopholes for polluters.

For us tribes, western Washington is our home, and its waters are the source of much of our food. Our cultures and treaty rights are tied to this place, and we are committed to keep-ing it a healthy place to live. Fish and shellfish is food. There’s no reason it shouldn’t be available, plentiful and healthy enough for all of us to eat.

Billy Frank, Jr. is the Chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission.

It’s time to stand up for clean seafood

Due to the economic downturn many people in our communities

were facing a holiday season where they weren’t going to be able to afford to provide their family with a holiday meal or buy presents to go under the Christmas tree.

But, fortunately, the Spirit of Giving is alive and well in Arlington and Marysville.

Some of the places those in need were able to turn to includ-ed the Arlington and Marysville community food banks where hundreds of families were able to pick up holiday baskets filled with everything needed for a Christmas dinner.

But it took more than just the hard work of the food banks’ staffs and volunteers to fill those baskets — it also took the gener-osity of those who call our com-munities home.

Local businesses, community service organizations, churches, schools and individuals played a vital role in filling those baskets

by collecting food and monetary donations for the food banks.

These are tough economic times for everyone and that kind of generosity is truly amazing.

Some donations were big and some were small — but they were all important and appreci-ated.

To everyone who helped brighten the holiday season for those in need in our communi-ties we say Thank You for caring and for making our communi-ties such great places to call home.

MARYSVILLE — Vance Whippo takes pride in the more than 100 years of community service that the Free and Accepted Masons of Washington have done in the city of Marysville, and he wants folks to know that it’s still going on.

Whippo, who serves as junior warden of Crystal Lodge 122 of the Free and Accepted Masons of Washington in Marysville, explained that his lodge recently donated to a trio of local community ser-vice organizations — the Marysville Community Food Bank, the Marysville Community Lunch non-profit group and the Eagle

Wings Ministries which serves people with devel-opmental disabilities — in a slightly different way than they’d done in previ-ous years.

“We used to hand out checks for $300 each to five groups,” Whippo said. “This time, because of the higher degree of need fac-ing these local organiza-tions, we gave $500 each to three groups.”

Although Whippo praised all three groups for their positive contributions to the community, he noted that the relative need of Eagle Wings Ministries was espe-cially significant in at least one respect.

“Because of the economy, they had to lay off all of their staff,” Whippo said. “It’s

down to the group’s director and an all-volunteer crew serving a minimum of 300 people.”

Whippo explained that the three main ideas of the Free and Accepted Masons are faith, hope and charity, of which he deemed charity “the biggest.”

“You might not have seen us as much, since we haven’t really promoted ourselves in recent years, but at 100-plus years, we’re still going strong for the Marysville community,” Whippo said.

For more information or to join Crystal Lodge 122 of the Free and Accepted Masons of Washington in Marysville, which is always looking for new members, you may call Whippo at 206-786-5461.

MARYSVILLE — The Attic Secrets Tearoom in Marysville played host to a survivor of a remarkable period of history.

Mas Odoi is more than 90 years old and grew up in Mukilteo, and the Japanese-American man was honored by the Marcus Whitman Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution on Dec. 10 for his service in the U.S. military during World War II.

Candy Thoreson, regent of the Marcus Whitman Chapter, explained that the focus of their annual fundraiser this year was to honor America’s veterans and remember the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Mas Odoi was invited to the event by Thoreson, and accompanied by his neph-ew, Steve Odoi of Alaska.

“All enjoyed the presence and stories of our chapter’s dear friend Mas,” Thoreson said. “The event’s patriot-ic theme and rare experi-ence were deeply moving, with Mas being honored for responding to that ‘call to action,’ along with the remembrance of Pearl Harbor.”

Thoreson summarized the Daughters of the American Revolution’s objectives as patriotism, historic pres-ervation and education, all three of which she believes were served well by the event and enhanced by its surroundings at Attic Secrets, whose atmosphere she praised as enchanting and helping to highlight the Marcus Whitman Chapter’s sense of sisterhood.

“The brilliant and exqui-site old-world storybook setting — along with the personal rooms, quality of items displayed and deli-

cious food served — pro-vided a quintessential yet unique Christmas feeling,” Thoreson said.

The Marcus Whitman Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution meets at the downtown Everett Library on the second Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to noon. January’s meeting will feature an emergency preparedness presentation by the American Red Cross, and the public is welcome to attend. For information, email Thoreson at [email protected].

ARLINGTON — Local Scoop’s Gingerbread Competition is becoming an Arlington holiday fes-tivity.

With 14 entrants, this year’s contest more than doubled last year’s entries.

Prizes for the contest were gathered by the Downtown Arlington Business Association. Local Scoop made flyers and advertised the contest to attract con-testants.

The contest included five age categories: 7-and-under, 8-to-12 years old, 13-to-17 years old, Adult, and People’s Choice, voted on by the parlor’s customers.

The main rule, in the spir-it of holiday treats, was that

everything used to build the houses had to be edible.

The 7-and-under winner was a gingerbread house with pink, yellow and green marshmallow shingles, a marshmallow fence and lay-ered gingerbread Christmas trees with red and green Red Hots and snow icing on their branches.

Willy, 10, and Jesse Hillman, 8, won the 8-to-12 category with their Christmas Village display including four candy-covered houses of various shapes and a plaza made with gumdrop cobblestones and gummy trees.

There was no 13-to-17 champion because no entries fitting the category were submitted.

The Adult and People’s Choice winner was Local Scoop employee Christina Baker and her husband Curtis’ Local Scoop replica, the idea for which Christina is credited.

Curtis made the stencils, Christina made the gin-

gerbread and the couple designed the interior of the restaurant together. They used King Arthur’s icing to hold the walls together when it was time to raise the roof.

The Bakers, who joined the contest because it was a fun holiday activity that the family could do together, received the People’s Choice prize, a gift basket stuffed with $100 of Angel of the Winds Casino gifts.

“I’m getting a kit next time,” said Curtis, a retired project manager, recalling the exhaustive efforts of building the gingerbread ice cream shop. “I’ll take reci-pes off the internet.”

Another piece of eye candy was a Christmas train bearing gummy Christmas presents and an engine made of M&Ms. One house had a roof made of shred-ded wheat.

“People love it. They absolutely love it,” Christine said. “We’re going to do this every year now.”

MARYSVILLE — First-grade students of the Marysville Cooperative Education Program at Marshall Elementary can call themselves community artists, ever since the recent unveiling of a community-themed art project at the Community Transit bus shelter on 64th Street NE, in front of the Marysville YMCA.

The brightly colored hand-print design is a visual rep-resentation of Community Transit’s 26-year old School Transit Education Program, through which the bus agency partners with local schools to educate children about pedestrian safety and how to ride the bus.

“Kids love to create art, and they love to get messy,” STEP Coordinator Steve Peters said. “If we can com-bine the two, we’ve got a winning program.”

Peters travels to more than 125 schools through-out Snohomish County every year, talking to about

10,000 students about traf-fic congestion, air pollution and public transportation using voices, silly faces and a go-cart sized bus to keep the kids engaged. The high-light of the program is an actual ride on a Community Transit bus.

The idea to enhance STEP with an art shelter program was a way to beau-tify the community and give the kids a lasting sense of accomplishment.

Community-based art has been known to create pride in public spaces and reduce graffiti. Although the Marshall Elementary shelter is the first STEP art shelter, Community Transit envisions more to come. Sue Masel, a designer and member of the agency’s cus-tomer relations department, will help coordinate the art component of the program.

“It’s a natural evolution for this program,” Peters said. “STEP already has established relationships with dozens of schools and

teachers throughout the county. I see myself first talking to classrooms about the benefits of public trans-portation, then getting them to paint shelters in their communities. That makes for a great day.”

Community Transit is responsible for providing transportation options for Snohomish County resi-dents, including bus and para-transit service, vanpool and ride-sharing options. Call Community Transit at 425-353-7433 or 800-562-1375 for bus information, or 888-814-1300 for carpool or vanpool information, or go to www.communitytransit.org. You can also read their blog at http://communi-tytransit.blogspot.com, visit their Facebook page or see them on YouTube.

L e o n a H Bohannon, 93, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Dec 2, 2011. Leona was born in Nebraska, moved to Washington in 1941, lived in Arlington since 1955, and enjoyed 7 years at Olympic Place.

Leona’s love of the Lord, her family, and friends was evidenced by her life. She called herself “an ordinary person,” but her family would say she was extraordinary! She gave us an example of how to serve others – in Church and community – and extend hospitality to all.

Leona was preceded in death by her husband George, married

64 years. She is survived by son Denny (June), and daughter Jamie Thompson (Randy); five grandchildren, Gary Bohannon (Vicki), Mike B o h a n n o n

(Stephanie), David Bohannon (Darlynne), Kelsey Graves (Chris), Holly DuBois (Darren), and 10 great-grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, 615 E Highland Drive, Arlington, Evergreen Hospice, or the charity of your choice. Memorial Services will be held at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church on January 7, 2012 at 11am.

FERNDALE — Arlington girls basket-ball sought its third straight win when they headed north for a matchup against the Ferndale Golden Eagles on Dec. 22.

The Golden Eagles answered Arlington’s hot streaks with their own throughout the night, but Arlington’s solid rebounding and a gritty team effort brightened their holiday season with a 55-49 win.

“Against Monroe (on Dec. 22) we played our best game of the season,” said Arlington head coach Joe Marsh of the Eagles’ latest success, after the win against Ferndale. “We’ve won three in a row coming into the break and we’ll try to build on it.”

Senior guard Megan Abdo registered 13 points, nine rebounds, seven steals and six assists. Junior guard Krista Showalter tal-lied 15 points.

“Megan works really hard and does everything for us,” Marsh said. “Our guards

were aggressive, but we wanted them to be smart so they don’t get caught against taller players.”

Arlington senior center Katie Ferro pulled down 13 rebounds and junior for-ward Lindsay Brown snagged 10 more to complete a double-double with 13 points to lead Arlington’s ball control efforts.

“Our pressure hurt them in the first quarter, but they fixed it and broke the press for some fast break points,” Marsh said. “You always know when you go up to Ferndale that they’ll be tough and physical. We jumped on them early and let them back in because they kept beating us down the floor.”

Senior guard Lauren Grogan buried two three-pointers for Arlington and Abdo provided a third.

“We made some big shots late in the game,” Marsh said. “All three of our three-pointers came in the fourth quarter to help us keep the lead.”

Ferndale junior post Kendra Bodger came away with 13 points and the Golden Eagles offense scored inside and out as they connected on six three-pointers.

“Ferndale is good all around. There isn’t one person to stop,” Marsh said. “I was amazed at how fast they are.”

Arlington extends winning streak


LAKEWOOD — Cougar girls basketball looked for its first win of the season as they hosted Northwest Conference’s Mount Baker Mountaineers on Dec. 21.

The elusive win would have to wait as the Mountaineers’ tough defense propelled them to a 71-11 romp.

“They knocked us out of the playoffs last year, so they knew who we were,” Lakewood head coach Chris Walster said. “(Cougar senior) Kayley Diggs is an all-league second-team post and their defense knew it. We want to go inside on offense and put pressure on with man defense, but without her pres-ence inside there was more pressure on the other players.”

Mount Baker held Lakewood,

which was missing four varsity players that night, scoreless in first quarter, conceded seven points in the second quarter and two points in both the third and fourth quarters.

The Mountaineer defense generated innumerable steals that yielded numerous trips to the free throw line as Lakewood fought to slow them down off the dribble.

Mount Baker won the rebound battle throughout the game. No matter how many shots they missed, they drew fouls as they kept corralling rebounds for second-chance shots. Lakewood’s 17 fouls in the game helped the Mountaineers finish 23 of 31 from the free throw line.

Lakewood senior Kayley Diggs pulled down rebounds to give the Cougars a presence in

the key, but Lakewood’s shots were not falling.

“In three league games this year Diggs has been double-teamed and it puts pressure on the other players like (senior Caitlyn) Darrah,” said Walster.

Darrah led the Cougars in scoring with three points.

Mount Baker senior guard Kristin Frey, freshman post Emily Yost, senior post Katie Stalin and senior guard Connor Hart scored in double digits. Lakewood did not attempt a three-pointer all night.

“These guys are very aggres-sive,” Walster said. “They came out in a 1-3-1 zone after half-time so we had to get the ball in the gap, but we had trouble. We suffocated under the pressure and our limited experience at the guard positions is where it hurt us the most.”

EVERETT — Snohomish County high school bowl-ers, the top 16 boys and the top four girls accord-ing to pin-per-game aver-age, went head-to-head in the league’s annual All-Star Tournament on Dec. 17.

The All-Star teams, assembled so that each had the same average during league play, played three regular non-handicapped games and hurried to bowl as many ‘baker’ games, in which each bowler rolls two frames for his or her team, as possible before the tournament’s lane reserva-tion expired.

Eddy Smith, who leads the league with a 228-pin average, and Ellen Dowell, leading the girls with 181 pins per game, represented Lakewood.

Tyler and Kyle Godsey and Bryson Parker bowled

on Marysville-Pilchuck’s behalf.

“I listen to music to get pumped up,” said Tyler, an animated bowler who cel-ebrates strikes and spares with high-fives and fist-pumps.

Godsey is happier with

others’ achievements because he’s overly critical of his own performances. He joined a Saturday league before his freshman year at M-P. His mom and grand-parents are bowlers and he wants to bowl in college.

Cascade High School

produced the most bowl-ers at the tournament with Andre Calipes, Brent Strike, Jesse Gonzales, Thomas Wilson, Alex Blake, Austin Brenneisen, Casey Blake and Greg Neal.

Daniel Harmic, Riley Carter, Jen Greever and Amber Meader were the

tournament’s Mariner stars.

Elijah Reed and Baylie Self bowled for Marysville Arts & Tech.

Jeremy Allegre was the tournament’s pride of Lake Stevens.

When the last pins had fallen and the last frames

were filled, Greever, Neal, Gonzales, Reed and Smith emerged as champions, unbeaten through four round-robin games.

“If only I could do this at State,” Reed said. “It feels good to bowl with the best. I’m glad I was bowling with Eddy and Jesse.”

ARLINGTON — Henry Boede has been a Washington boy all his life, and while many local resi-dents can say the same, few can boast of having been born on Orcas Island 100 years ago.

Boede celebrated his centennial birthday at the Olympic Place retirement and assisted living com-munity in Arlington with family and friends on Dec.

26, and reflected on a life that he lived with practical sensibilities firmly in mind from an early age.

“I knew I wanted to work for the government even before I graduated from high school in 1930, because I knew I wanted to be able to retire,” laughed Boede, whose civil service career included a decade each with the Navy, the Army and the General Services Administration. “My grand-father always said, ‘You’ll

never get rich working for the government, but they’ll never turn you out either.’”

As far as Boede is con-cerned, the most interesting technological development of the past century is still the radio, which he recalls discovering when he was 10, although he also rated the advances in medical sci-ence during those decades quite highly as well.

“I used to be scared to go to the dentist as a kid,” Boede laughed. “Medicine

and dentistry have pro-gressed tremendously.”

Boede has also bid fare-well to more than one wife during his life, with his sec-ond wife passing away from cancer when she was 44 years old. He was 65 years old when he married his third and final wife, and it was the only one of his three marriages that didn’t yield any children.

“I picked up three step-children from my second marriage,” Boede said. “If I had time, I could tell you how many grandchildren I have, but it’d take me quite a while. I have more great-great-grandchildren than anything else. I get them mixed up with the great-grandchildren sometimes, but I know them all when I see them.”

When asked what lessons

he passed down to his chil-dren, he smiled and said, “To behave themselves.” Boede himself seems to have taken his own advice, leading a steady life with-out smoking or drinking, and only indulging in cof-fee or tea every once in a while.

“I’ve been a member of the Oddfellows Lodge for 80 years and a Democrat all my life,” Boede said. “I’ve enjoyed traveling. I’ve been to about half the states, including Hawaii and Alaska, and I visited my youngest son when he was serving with the Marines in Okinawa. Of course, I’ve dipped into Mexico and Canada as well.”

Ultimately, Boede believes that you’re never too old to learn.

“I’m long past giving

advice to anyone else,” Boede said, when asked if he had any wisdom to pass on to others. “I’m getting information now.”

SMOKEY POINT — Last year, James Clark hoped to help those who were cop-ing with cancer and those interested in working on their New Year’s resolutions at the same time.

“If your New Year’s resolu-tion is to lose some weight, what better way to do it than a 5K?” asked Clark, who

graduated from Arlington High School this year and is organizing his second annual 5K walk or run fundraiser for Jan. 7, 2012, to help support his Relay for Life team next year.

For three years, Clark took part in the annual Relay for Life in Marysville as part of Kickin’ It for Cancer, the team

organized by his mother, Linda Clark. Once Arlington got its own Relay for Life, though, James Clark split off from his mom’s team to start his own, which raised funds for the American Cancer Society in his hometown of Arlington.

“We did it in Marysville before because that was all there was,” said James Clark, whose team is Cross Country for a Cure. “We hope to raise even more than the $2,300 we raised for the Arlington Relay for Life last year, and we need your help.”

Clark feels strongly con-nected to this cause because both his uncle and his grand-father passed away from can-cer, and he chose this outlet because of his passions.

“I just love running cross country,” Clark said. “Besides, I’m pretty competitive. More importantly, I don’t want any-one else to have to go through the loss that my family went through.”

The race starts at 10 a.m. at the Stillaguamish Athletic Club, located at 4417 172nd St. NE in Arlington. All pro-ceeds raised will go to Clark’s Relay for Life team, and in turn to the American Cancer Society.

For more information or to register, log onto cross-country4acure.weebly.com or email Clark at [email protected]. For safety reasons, no skateboards, inline skates, bikes or dogs will be allowed on the course.

It really is not important that you are happy with your religion, what is important is that God is happy with your religion.

Are you tired of all the hype and materialism found in so many religious groups these days? God has already shown us what true religion is. At the Smokey Point church of Christ we are committed to the open study and honest application of God’s word. It may not be entertaining but it sure brings a rest from the burden of sin. Isn’t that the whole point of religion? Let’s talk about it. 360-939-2080

SMOKEY POINT — The Stillaguamish Senior Center will host “Powerful Tools for Caregivers” starting on Jan. 18, 2012.

The six-week educational series will run from 1-3:30 p.m. on Wednesdays through Feb. 22, and aims to provide unpaid family caregivers with the skills and confidence needed to better care for themselves while caring for others.

Debra Cook, caregiver support coordinator for the

Stillaguamish Senior Center, wants to help caregivers to develop a wealth of self-care tools, not only to reduce their personal stress, but also to communicate their needs effectively in challenging situations, deal with difficult emotions, make tough care-giving decisions and locate local resources.

“Powerful Tools for Caregivers” will be pro-vided in the multipurpose room of the Stillaguamish Senior Center, located at

18308 Smokey Point Blvd. in Arlington, at a cost of $25, the refundable deposit for the Caregiver Helpbook.

For more information or to register, contact Cook by phone at 360-653-4551, ext. 236, or via email at [email protected].

Class size is limited and preregistration is required.

“Powerful Tools for Caregivers” is sponsored by the Snohomish County Family Caregiver Support Program.

‘Powerful Tools for Caregivers’ series begins Jan. 18
