Students given ‘Rachel’s Challenge’
in tears. Rachel’s younger brother, Craig Scott, survived the assault in the library and was also featured in the recorded presentation. He remembered hearing the shots that killed his sister and thinking it was a senior prank, then realizing it was no joke as he watched his two best friends killed next to him. One of them, Isaac, was African American. Craig said it haunts him that the final words Isaac heard were vicious racial slurs. And he recalled that Isaac’s last words were, “I want to see I have not been able to find my mom.” Train Set another copy of this comic Hammon issued five challenges I have a Hawthorne and wonder if you can help to students: Eliminate prejudice, Mickey Mouse train me. — Paul, Bodfish, Calif. herds and talk to other give people three chances before Dog’s Constant that includes 13 pieces I searched my comicAussie owners. you decide about them and look with accessories.

community members. “Fortyfive middle schoolers and 70 high schoolers showed up for the peer training. About 15 trained to take the challenge to the elementary level, so the program will be taken from the kindergarten level on up.” The training teaches volunteers how to cause positive change in their school and community; high school students can join the Friends of Rachel club, and middle school students can join the Chain Links club. What was so compelling about Rachel’s life that has impacted so many lives? Six weeks before she was killed, Rachel wrote an essay entitled, “My Ethics, My Code of Life,” in which she writes, “Compassion is the greatest form of love that humans have to offer.” She exemplified this in her life; the presentation included a young man who would have killed himself that very evening had not Rachel went out of her way to be kind to him. Rachel wanted to start a chain reaction of kindness.

By Amylynn Richards The story of Rachel Scott, the first victim of the Columbine School shootings in 1999, has influenced more than 5 million internationally, and has now made its mark in La Conner. Students who attended programs last week have a better grip on the impact just a little kindness can have and just how much power they have to make a real difference in their own world. Rachel’s challenge is a onehour presentation designed to help students recognize their purpose in life, presented by Shane Hammon, a former Olympic athlete and strongest man in America. The program, which details one family’s experiences in the aftermath of the Columbine school shootings, is emotionally charged, and designed to inspire those who hear it to a life of kindness and compassion. The middle school saw a toneddown version of the presentation on Monday, and the high school saw the full version Tuesday morning. Approximately 40 community members attended the evening presentation Tuesday. “I already see it having an impact on your school,” said Hammon to the assembled

Braves play at Friday Harbor

Wolverines out in front 7-6. Braves’ Coach Mike Compton said that once he watched the film of the game, he could see how the team is improving and making some strong plays. “They won because they have some boys who are faster than we are,” said Compton. “They were not a stronger team. They got lucky.” The Braves resisted a number of attempts by the Wolverines to score: the Braves took the ball from their own 10-yard line 90 yards down the field for their touchdown. “The boys work very well as a team; when the other team scored, it was a case of one individual being faster than another individual.” Friday turned into a very long night for the team; the ferry broke down on the way home, stretching a two-hour ferry ride into four hours. The team made it home around 2 a.m. The Journal of the San Juan Islands contributed to this report.

Red Tide has caused health officials to shut down Samish Bay, Fidalgo Bay, Sinclair and Cypress islands to recreational shellfish harvesting. All species of molluscan shellfish, such as clams, oysters, mussels and scallops, are affected by the emergency closure. The toxins that cause paralytic shellfish poisoning, which can be fatal, are not destroyed by cooking. Early symptoms of paralytic shellfish poisoning include numbness and tingling around the mouth and loss of motor control and are cause to call 911 or go to a hospital emergency room.
