MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Community Food Bank’s three days of Christmas basket distribu-tion were already on track to meet or exceed the previ-ous year’s totals by Tuesday, Dec. 20, as volunteers checked in 87 clients during the first 40 minutes of the event’s second day.

“We get a lot more people during the holidays who are able to take care of them-selves through the rest of the year, but when this sea-son comes around they find themselves asking whether they can get presents for their kids or whether they want to eat for the month,” Marysville Community Food Bank Director Dell Deierling said.

Deierling reported that

the first day of this year’s Christmas basket distribu-tion had gone up by 7 per-cent, from 143 clients served on the first day of last year’s event to 153 clients served on Monday, Dec. 19.

“I predicted we’d hit about 250 clients on Tuesday, and it looks like we’ll make that mark,” Deierling said on Dec. 20. “That’s about as many clients in a single day as we usually serve in an entire week. By the end of this Christmas basket dis-tribution week [on Friday, Dec. 23], we’ll have served as many clients as we usu-ally serve in two to three weeks.”

In addition to a generous selection of hams, chickens and even turkeys for larg-er families, the Marysville Community Food Bank was

MARYSVILLE — Totem Middle School’s post-Thanksgiving food drive collected about as many cans of food for the Marysville Community Food Bank as there are students at the school, according to parents and school officials.

The school’s Leadership classes and ASB officers coordinated the two-week food drive, which began right after the school’s Thanksgiving break. The sixth-grade students col-lected more cans of food

than either the seventh- or the eighth-grade students, with the classes taught by Jeanette Ashley, Tom Sterm and Lisa North coming in first, second and third place for collection numbers, respectively.

“They all collected more than 100 cans of food each,” said Michele Sawyer of the Totem Middle School PTSA. “That’s almost half the number of total cans collected.”

“Every grade helped,” said Alisha Purdom, vice pres-ident of the ASB for the

eighth-grade class at Totem. “With a lot of peo-ple involved, it got done a lot faster.”

Purdom and Piper Holiday, the Totem ASB eighth-grade treasur-er, added that Totem’s

Leadership, ASB and “Power Team” students are involved in similar char-ity drives throughout the year, from clothing col-lections for local children in need to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s “Pennies for Patients” pro-gram.

“The Power Team is a student-led and engaged

team that addresses stu-dent life through events like spirit assemblies and a combination of leadership and grunt-work,” Totem Principal Robert Kalahan said.

“This food drive had a much larger outcome than previous years,” Purdom said. “The student body was really involved.”

able to dispense 26 Christmas trees, free to whoever wanted them, from Ray Hammer.

“One of our clients said she was going to cry because it was her first real Christmas tree,” said Deierling, who also praised the students of Marysville-Pilchuck High School for dropping off 5,850 pounds of potatoes that they’d acquired from a Mount Vernon farmer.

“I was concerned as we approached the holidays, because I saw our donations dropping so low,” Deierling said. “Our letter carrier col-lection drive, which is so important to us, was down for the second year in a row. But this fall, not only did the kids pitch in, but so did the realtors, the firefight-ers, city and school district staff, businesses, churches, service clubs, youth groups and the Navy. The Everett Clinic collected 700 pounds of food for us, even though they’d never done a food drive locally before.”

Deierling considers the Marysville Community Food Bank especially for-tunate to benefit from such generosity during a difficult economy.

“I understand these are tough times for everyone, but this entire community still came together to make this happen,” Deierling said. “I can’t name everybody who helped, and I honestly don’t know how I can begin to thank them all.”

Navy Chief Petty Officer Eric Mott accompanied his son Ze’vyr in escort-ing Marysville Community Food Bank clients through the Christmas basket distri-bution line on Dec. 22, and admitted to feeling over-whelmed by the experience.

“I live here in Marysville, and my son comes here to volunteer, but I’d only stocked the shelves before,” Eric Mott said. “Seeing the number of people in need during the holiday season is something else.”

Salvador Santana’s 13-year-old son frequently volunteers at the Marysville Community Food Bank, but in light of his school com-

mitments, his dad cut him some slack for the day.

“I’m here at least,” Salvador Santana laughed. “I’ve been coming here every Tuesday for a couple of years now, and Saturdays when I can, depending on work. I’ve seen the need increase dur-ing that time, but I’ve also seen people keep giving, which is the most important thing, because if they stop, we have nothing left to offer. It feels wonderful to be able to help provide for people who are struggling.”

Paige Turner, a sopho-more at the Marysville Arts & Technology High School, was impressed by how smoothly her first holi-day food basket distribu-tion went as a Marysville Community Food Bank volunteer.

“I haven’t been surprised by the number of people who need some help during the holidays,” Turner said. “I have been surprised by how many of them have been children.”

“Hunger doesn’t just hap-pen during the holidays,” Deierling said. “After the New Year, it will continue.”

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.

LAKE STEVENS — Marysville-Pilchuck, in search of their first win of the season, visited Lake Stevens on Dec. 20 for a game against a Viking squad fresh off of a 72-70 escape from Arlington and a 17-foot buzzer beater to beat Monroe just a week earlier.

The Tomahawks answered the Vikings’ challenges throughout the game but could not hang with them for four full quarters, fading late for a 58-45 defeat.

“Lake Stevens would have a run and we would have a run,” M-P coach Bary Gould said. “This is the first game where we’ve played good defense for three quarters.”

M-P has played with every team this season, Gould said, but hasn’t put together a full game. With non-conference opponents up next on the schedule, his team can improve their chances to end the season near

the top four spots in the Wesco 4A standings.

“Our goal is to play more than 20 games a year, so we’ll keep hoping and working,” Gould said. “This is a really hard-working team. We play hard every day at practice.”

Lake Stevens opened the game with quick steals at halfcourt to open up a 6-0 lead before the Tomahawks called timeout.

The Vikings’ 2-3 zone shuffled side-to-side as M-P looked for open passes on top of the three-point line, but M-P senior guard Terryll Daguison put the Tomahawks on the board with a teardrop runner from the free throw line.

Lake Stevens’ aggression cramped M-P’s offense, but the Tomahawks kept it close as they calmed down, began to rebound and pushed back on defense when the Vikings’ cut-ters and drivers attacked the basket. Tomahawk junior guard Monnie Williams nailed a three-pointer to

help M-P end the first quarter with an 11-10 lead.

The Vikings resettled and got back to their game plan by creating easy fast break layups and regaining the rebounding edge. Lake Stevens senior guard Christian Gasca and crew recovered loose balls and earned trips to the free throw line with quick drives to shake their M-P defenders.

“They brought it the whole time,” Tomahawk freshman guard Michael Painter said. “We shot too many threes and we didn’t bring enough energy. We need enthusiasm and we need to come back and make up for our mistakes.”

Tomahawk senior post Calvin White created for his team by pulling down a defensive rebound and skip-ping the ball to senior wing Bruce Crawford who buried a three-point-er from the right shoulder. Senior

Tomahawks can’t pull down win over Lake Stevens


EVERETT — Marysville Getchell girls basketball visited ‘The Pit’ at Everett High School’s Richer Court on Dec. 22 seeking their first win and improvement as they reached the midway point in their first season.

Getchell worked to establish their low post offense, but the Seagulls’ steal-happy defense slowed the Charger attack and earned Everett a 62-20 win.

MG came out tough in the first quarter but was plagued by mid-court turnovers against Everett’s full-court press.

The Chargers’ 2-3 zone defense made the Seagulls shoot from outside.

Getchell senior post Brianna Lloyd-Bennett took the ball up strongly in the paint to muscle up on Everett defenders. Senior post Kyleigh Dschaak crashed the boards as she patrolled the post with Lloyd-Bennett, but their shots would not fall.

“Don’t dribble,” called Chargers head coach Shannon Grandbois to her post players from the side-line, urging them to attack the basket. “Shoot it.”

Though Everett jumped on Getchell passes and turned them

into fast break points, they led only 12-6 at the end of the first quarter.

The Seagulls committed their share of turnovers through travels and double dribbles, but Everett senior post Ashley Smith blocked a Charger shot with resounding force to make the Chargers think twice about driving the lane on her defense. Dschaak swatted away a post pass intended for Smith to answer the Everett chal-lenge.

Everett switched to their own 2-3 zone to put an end to Getchell’s post attack and take a 29-10 into halftime.

Grandbois praised her offense’s success in finding open targets and advised the defense when it suffered from miscommunica-tion.

The Chargers stayed focused on their post game and looked for entry passes to Lloyd-Bennett and Dschaak on every trip down the floor. Getchell swarmed the ball in the third quarter, but Seagull junior guard Aliya Davis hit an open three-pointer to end the third quarter.

Everett’s zone stifled the Charger game plan and extended the Seagull lead en route to a 62-20 win.

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.”

Mount Baker takes it to Lakewood

Lakewood senior Caitlyn Darrah fends off Mount Baker senior Anna Davila.

guard Nathan Williams hit a three of his own to pull his team to within two at 23-21.

M-P relied on three-pointers to keep themselves in the game before halftime at which the Vikings led 27-24, but their luck would run out as they finished 3 of 20 from downtown on the night.

“We wanted to go inside and find an open shot instead of an instant three,” Gould said. “A three-pointer after one pass usually doesn’t fall.”

Lake Stevens played air-tight man defense and out-scored M-P 21-6 in the third quarter. White stepped up for the Tomahawks and

made the Vikings use all of their 35 seconds to find a shot on offense, but second-chance put-backs in the key kept Lake Stevens rolling. The Vikings were faster to rebounds and cut off M-P’s lanes to the baseline to make them settle for improvised shots from outside.

Lake Stevens sank a three-pointer from the left shoulder to open up a 38-28 lead and force a Tomahawk timeout midway through the third quarter. Viking junior cen-ter Tory Rothgeb feasted on offensive rebounds for lay-in after lay-in and Lake Stevens’ backdoor cuts gashed M-P’s defense.

“We need to work on keeping our energy up and make sure we don’t get down like we did,” M-P sophomore T.J. Rice said.

M-P sought to steady themselves in the fourth quarter and swing the ball inside to find open shooters when Lake Stevens cheated down, but the Vikings called the Tomahawks’ bluff and shut the door on M-P’s drib-blers by camping out below the basket. M-P senior post Phillip DeSanctis, however, led Tomahawk scorers with 16 points.

The Tomahawks created a fast break with 2:30 left in the game, but even that layup, symbolic of M-P’s sec-ond half, would not fall and Lake Stevens held on to cel-ebrate the 58-45 win.

“On every occasion except the fourth quarter we brought it close,” Gould said. “We played well for three quarters, but Lake Stevens played well for four.”

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.

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

The All-Star teams, assem-bled 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 reservation 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 cele-brates 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 grandparents 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.”

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
