wartime. Bishop

signing it “from
your Valentine”.

trivia:
In the Middle
Ages, young

Each year on February 14th, many people exchange cards, candy, gifts
or flowers with their special “valentine.” The day of romance we call Valentine’s Day is named for a Christian martyr and dates back to the 5th
century, but has origins in the Roman holiday Lupercalia.

Originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington, it is still officially called “Washington’s Birthday” by the federal
government. Traditionally celebrated on February 22, Washington’s actual day of birth, the holiday became popularly known as Presidents’
Day after it was moved as part of 1971’s Uniform Monday Holiday Act,
an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers. Several states still have individual holidays honoring the birthdays
of Washington, Lincoln & other figures, Presidents’ Day is now a day to
celebrate all U.S. presidents past & present.

Weather and PAIN?

How does weather affect our joints & energy? Did you ever know
someone who could “smell” snow or rain before it came? What they
“smell” is a change in the electrical charge in the air. It’s been described
as a “metallic” smell. All atoms have either a positive or negative charge
so they can bind to form molecules. As the barometer falls, the positive
charge, or “ions” increase which causes a depletion of cortisone in the
body. This happens to all creatures that have adrenal glands—in other
words, all mammals. It means that the pressure against our body drops
as well, and our joints and areas that are injured can begin to swell. Did
you ever notice how your cold or pain gets worse at night? Mine does.
I understand pain, as I have arthritis and fibromyalgia. This happen because our bodies slow production of both adrenaline and cortisone in
the evening so we can go to sleep. It’s part of our circadian rhythm. So
what can we do to manage this, aside from moving?? Well, depending
on the problem, whether it is pain, mood, or energy, there are some
solutions. If the problem is simply energy, then it will be useful to stay
away from simple carbohydrates such as sugar, starches, and junk
food. Eat foods that will sustain you and not bring the “crash” you feel
after that morning donut. Don’t assume that caffeine is the answer,
either. Chronic pain, chronic fatigue and depression all present unique
challenges. They all can be affected by nutrition, exercise, sunlight and
barometric pressure. A good support is exercise; simple stretching,
beginner yoga, meditation. Essential oils in a bath or shower help tremendously. Heatable wraps & socks also are great tools. Come into Z’s
Body & Soul in Stanwood and find things that will support your bones
& joints throughout this winter.

CAN MY CHILD’S CREDITORS GET MY MONEY?
“WHAT?!!!!!!!” You say. “Wait a minute, do I have to worry about that
now? How can that happen?” You ask. Well, let’s take a look.
You have a daughter or son who is financially irresponsible. He shows
up for the holidays in a new BMW which you couldn’t afford let alone
him. You inquire as to how someone working the French fryer at
Burger King could afford such a vehicle and he blows smoke up your
skirt. You walk away wondering what planet today’s youth came
from. And then . . . you die. (Whoops.).

If you are single or you and your spouse die together your children
will probably inherit your estate, and if they inherit your estate and
are deeply in debt their creditors can get at the money you left them
in your will. (Ha, you will be paying for that BMW after all!).
So here’s what you do. Prepare a will that leaves your estate to a
person or institution as trustee for the children. You then direct the
trustee on how to distribute the estate. It can be a certain percentage
monthly or annually. It can be held in trust until the child reaches a
certain age. You choose. You can rule from the grave. Nice huh?
The trustee cannot be swayed by the pleadings of the child. He/She
must do what you dictate in the will or trust document. Keep that in
mind next time junior shows up wearing a gold cross the size of a
tree stump.

by Alina Bradford, Live Science Contributor, September 24, 2014 05:35pm
ET (www.livescience.com).
Bald eagles are large birds of prey native to North America. Since
1782, the bald eagle has been the United States’ national emblem and
mascot. The bald eagle isn’t actually bald; it gets its name because its
white head against its dark brown body makes it seem bald from a
distance.
Even though they are a symbol for freedom in the United States,
these birds are known for harassing smaller birds and stealing their
prey, according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. According to PBS
Nature, Benjamin Franklin once said, “For my own part, I wish the bald
eagle had not been chosen the representative of our country. He is
a bird of bad moral character. He does not get his living honestly. …
Besides he is a rank coward: The little king bird not bigger than a sparrow, attacks him boldly, and drives him out of the district.”
Bald eagles have a massive wingspread of about 7 feet according
to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Their bodies are much smaller,
though, at only 34 to 43 inches. Normally, bald eagles weigh 6.5 to
14 pounds.
Bald Eagle Habitat: The bald eagle is found only in North America.
For the most part, bald eagles live in forests that are near rivers, lakes,
reservoirs, marshes and coasts. Some also live near fish processing
plants, dumps and other areas where they can find food.
Bald eagles are typically solitary creatures. When there is abundant
food, though, they may gather with others in groups of up to 400, according to the Michigan University Museum of Zoology.
Diet: Bald eagles are “fish eagles.” They are in this classification because their main food source is fish. They will also eat smaller birds,
other bird’s eggs and small animals like rabbits, reptiles, amphibians
and crabs. Since bald eagles only eat meat, this makes them carnivores.
Bald eagles are thought to be monogamous. This means that once
the birds find a mate, they will continue to only mate with each other
for the rest of their lives. A bald eagle will find another mate only if it
is widowed.
Bald eagles make large nests from sticks, grass, feathers, moss and
cornstalks to accommodate their eggs. The largest bald eagle nest on
record was found in St. Petersburg, Florida. It was 9.5 feet in diameter
and 20 feet deep, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. It
was estimated to weigh 2 metric tons.

a bald eagle up close? Can you tell the different between a Golden
Eagle and Bald Eagle? Are you familiar with some of the species of
owls that live right here in our area? Learn the answers to these and
other questions at the upcoming Arlington Eagle Festival.
Sarvey Wildlife Care Center is focused on the rehabilitation and release of all native species of orphaned and injured wildlife. Occasionally a non-releasable bird of prey will be added to our educational
program. These birds have found a home at the center, and people
can come and see them during our business hours.
If you can make it to the festival you will have an opportunity to
learn why these eagles, hawks, and owls are so important to our environment. Drop by the City Council Chambers during the festival for a
special Open House event with these birds. Meet our Education team
and learn more about the work we do at the wildlife center and how
you can get involved and help too!
Arlington Eagle Festival, Saturday, February 7th. Open House from
Noon – 4pm at City Council Chambers. We hope to see you there!

One of my early memories is of sitting at the piano and playing a
magnificent symphony when I was merely five. It was so easy then.
But I didn’t know what I didn’t know. Soon the lessons began. At age
ten, I was concentrating on playing my piano lesson perfectly when
I realized that my friend, Susan, had tiptoed in to listen. My fingers
fumbled and the notes jumbled. I learned that it’s more difficult to
play in front of an audience than alone.
Now I play piano or guitar and sing, which takes special concentration. I feel my entire brain working. Left and right sides of the brain
orchestrate words, pitch, timing, notes, chords, and spatial relationships of my fingers on the instrument. My brain gets a workout.
Studies show that music strengthens brainpower. Neuroscientists
have discovered that when people wired to monitors listen to music,
multiple areas of their brains light up. When musicians play music,
it’s a spectacular light show of activity and connections, bridging the
brain’s right and left sides. This is your brain on music.
Studies show that music helps develop the brain for language,
math, and memory.
No wonder I love music so much. I’m sure that I’m smarter and happier for having music in my life. What about you?

Photography is a passion that brings Mark great joy. Mark captures
and shares the beauty he sees each day in this splendid country.
“I didn’t start out to be an artist when I picked up my camera. For
years I was the photographer for my kids’ soccer teams. I discovered
a passion for capturing and sharing special moments. From there I
flexed my creative muscles and soon started to capture a lot more
than soccer. My family has long enjoyed vacationing in the remote
north eastern part of Washington state near the tiny town of Inchelium. Nearby, you will find the pristine Twin Lakes. The lakes are the
scenic home of abundant fish and wildlife. I often found myself on the
glassy lake at dawn or walking along a path on the shore enjoying the
brisk clean air and sounds of nature. I always had my camera with me
and soon I began capturing the beauty that surrounded me, translating the peace and tranquility of the Twin Lakes into photographs that
shared my appreciation with the people who viewed them.
I live in an amazingly diverse part of the country including the fertile fields I see on my daily commute; the glorious waters of Puget
Sound and the Pacific Ocean and the many rivers that flow into them;
the majesty of the Cascade and Olympic mountains; the deserts and
fields of eastern Washington and so much more. While nature is my
primary muse, I always have my camera ready to capture the people,
places and things I see daily.
My photography reflects more then the scene; it conveys the mood
of the place and time captured in the frame. My camera is the tool
that enables me to immerse myself in the scenery, concentrate on
capturing it, and momentarily put aside the heavy thoughts of work
and life. Shooting and creating art is part therapy and greater part
joy. My goal in sharing art with others is to help them escape into
the scene, if only for for a moment, and share the feelings the subject
brought to me.
I didn’t pick up my camera with the goal of becoming an artist, but
my art evolved from the first moment I put my eye to the viewfinder. I
let my vision and creativity capture a moment in time to tell my audience a story and feel an emotion. I want my audience to experience
the passion and joy I experience creating the art. If I’m successful, the
feelings will last much longer then the instant held within the frame
and the viewer will be drawn to return to the image to see something
new or experience the feelings again.”

“COME DRY. LEAVE WET.”
The Sweat Shop
is located across
from the Arlington Municipal
Airport, behind
the Buzz Inn and
76 Gas Station:
5200 172nd St.
NE, Arlington.
(989) 413-6931
There’s so many different types of workouts out there, so many different body styles, so many fads, so many ways to get or stay fit...that
it’s hard to decide what is best for you.
Here at The “Sweat Shop” we let you decide. We provide an engaging and sociable environment where you can sweat it out with
like-minded people who enjoy a group exercise setting instead of
lifting weights alone at the gym. We offer an exciting array of classes
that span the range of fitness formats from yoga to high intensity
interval training to weighted muscular endurance training. We have
many group exercise classes to offer ranging from Ashtanga Yoga to
Zumba. All of our instructors are certified with nationally accredited
fitness organizations and teach a variety of formats, so you’ll always
find your fit and never run out of new options to try. We will periodically introduce new formats that may be worked into the schedule
dependent on success as well! We understand the needs of our clientele and tailor our classes and schedules to those needs.
The “Sweat Shop” exists because there are many of us who see fitness and health as a way of life, but prefer a more social and group
setting to accomplish our goals, instead of the regular gym mentality.
We are a place where everybody fits in.
When you join us, you not only get access to the most specialized
group fitness classes the Arlington/Smokey Point area has to offer,
but also great package deals for personal training, high intensity interval workouts, dance instruction, and SPIN. In addition, we often
hold special community and fitness events all for your benefit and
fun...all at the ‘Shop’!

HUNTING SEASON FOR CUPID Story by Skeeter Daddle.
For most of my early elementary school years, every Valentine’s Day
our teacher would have us write little cards to everybody in the class. I
guess they believed in Universal Love, although looking back, I know they
were good God-fearing Georgians and probably didn’t intend to promote
what would now be banned behavior in most of our cautious classrooms
outside Sodom and Gomorrah. WILL YOU BE MY VALENTINE? we asked
everybody oh so sweetly. So innocently. Who knew the Supreme Court
would probably be the ones to answer that ultimately. So I guess the jury
is still out….. Whatever the ruling from the folks in the black robes, we’ll
still have Valentine’s Day, celebrated not so much for Cupid and his/her
aphrodisiac-tipped arrows as a marketing tool for florists and chocolatiers
bent on cashing in on the lovefest. And why not? After all, candy’s sweet,
flowers are fragrant. They celebrate Love, and lately, that seems more and
more an endangered species. I see the boyz here in UpCreek rushing in to
the wilted flower section of the Otter Creek Trading Post MegaMart after
work on the anointed day, hoping to grab a last minute bouquet of anything colorful and perfumed, about to go home to the love of their life
with a handful of posies instead of the usual quart of Steel Reserve 9%.
And maybe they buy a card, something saccharine and hokey and cloying as only Hallmark can manage, then they get back in their 4x4 extended cab Dodge Ram one ton with the workboxes and ladders and upside
down wheelbarrows filling the acreage of the truckbed, and for a moment,
right before they tear another hole in the cratered blacktop of the parking
lot, we’re back in Mrs. Fleming’s 2nd grade class in backwash Georgia with
all the rest of our love struck classmates, scribbling Valentines and putting
candy hearts with inscriptions in the envelopes. For everyone.

local poetry
and stories
“our love affair”
“A little history: When my deceased husband, the Reverend Chauncey
Christofferson, (96 years old) and I (84) wrote each other for 7 months
without ever meeting and gradually falling in love (Chauncey was
from Washington state and I was from Connecticut), this poem is how
he courted me. We were married in Connecticut on August 26, 2008.
My beloved Chauncey passed into Eternity on February 27, 2010 – a
short, but heavnly-happy marriage. We lived at the Josephine Sunset
Home in Stanwood. End of Story. P.S. Our wedding made the front
page of the local newspaper and on TV channel 3, 6pm news.”
– Thelma Christofferson.
Our love affair
Was so much fun
We were the envy
Of everyone.
We dated quite often
And walked arm in arm
We even had chosen
Our favorite song
And then one day
Right out of the blue
He asked me to marry
I said, “I do.”
Please send us
your stories and
poetry to:
thecowtipper@
wavecable.com
He took me into
His arms right away
And we made plans
For our wedding day.
Atom and even
By Linda Del Negro
One cold winter’s day in the Garden of Even,
Atom lay alone, whole
not breathing
until Allah’s gift was sent from Heaven’s breath fleeing
from the darkness begging for light He came...bequeathing
splitting Atom’s heart in the Garden of Even
Clashing,
Flashing,
connecting toward the multiplication of life
without reason
until two became one with the rising sun
beginning
then ending again
in the cold winter’s season.

Clothespin hidden message
Valentine
poem:
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
sugar is sweet
and so are you.
But the roses
are wilting,
the violets are
dead,
the sugar bowl
is empty...
just like your
head.
34
You Will Need: Pencil(s) • Colored Pen(s) • Marker Pen(s) • Scissors •
Clothespins
Directions: 1. Gather your materials. 2. Write something on the clothespin. You can choose to put “You have a message...” on it like I did, or just
come up with something else (such as “YOU’VE GOT MAIL!”). 3. Cut out a
rectangle that fits on the jaws of the clothespin like in the picture. It will
be the envelope. 4. Decorate your envelope however you like. 5. Cut the
envelope in half. 6. Glue the top half to the top jaw and the bottom half to
the bottom jaw. 7. Get your paper out and cut out a trapezoid that looks
like the one in the picture. It should fit inside the jaws when you open the
jaws as wide as possible. 8. (picture of how the trapezoid should be able
to fit) By the way, can anyone guess what the book in the background is?
(hint: comic of a Studio Ghibli movie). 9. Put that trapezoid on your paper
and draw a rectangle around it like in the picture. (Black lines outline
the rectangle, and the black lines inside show the outline of the trapezoid.) Using a pencil, lightly trace around the trapezoid in the rectangle.
10. Cut out the rectangle, and you should have something like this. The
black lines show where you should have penciled in the outline of the
trapezoid. 11. Write your message on the rectangle, making sure that the
message is inside the borders of the trapezoid. Also make sure that the
trapezoid looks like it is “pointing” to the right. Then fold the rectangle
in half so that the words are on the outside, not inside the fold. 12. You
should be able to see the pencil line of the trapezoid. Fold the paper
along that line so that you get a “flap” (the pink part of the picture). Flip
the paper over and repeat on the other side with the other trapezoid line.
13. Put glue on both of your flaps (the pink of the picture of step 12) and
place the paper sandwich on the bottom jaw of your clothespin. Gently
close the jaws, and then open them back up to make sure that your message is facing the right way and isn’t upside down. Fix the message if it
is. 14. Then close the jaws, squeeze them together, and wait a bit for the
glue to set. Then you’re done!

NOAH’S PET OF THE WEEK:
Hey, I’m Scarlett. I am an older gal that is just content to sit & lounge all day. I really would prefer a
nice quiet home to spend the rest of my days, as I
am no longer a spring chicken so I don’t have the
energy to keep up with an active lifestyle. I am
waiting patiently here at NOAH for that perfect
someone that will provide me with a home with
lots of love. Stop by today to meet me if I sound
like a good fit for your lifestyle. I weigh 8 lbs.

NEW MOON FARM PET OF THE WEEK:
Paul is a gorgeous, happy, less than 1 year old
Nubian-Alpine cross wether. Paul arrived at New
Moon Farm when his owners realized that his
castration had been botched. Due to an incorrect placement of the band, he retained a small
amount of testicular tissue. Though not enough to
enable him to reproduce, it’s enough to cause him
to produce some testosterone. Surgery to remove
the tissue was unsuccessful. We’ll have to wait &
see how things go. He sure is a sweet, social guy.

Powerman USA Duathlon
Valentine
trivia:
In the Middle
Ages, young
men and
women drew
names from
a bowl to see
who would be
their Valentine.
They would
wear this name
pinned onto
their sleeves
for one week
for everyone to
see. This was
the origin of the
expression “to
wear your heart
on your sleeve.”
The City of Stanwood has been selected as the next host city for the
Powerman USA duathlon event on Saturday, April 11, 2015. Athletes
can register now for the only west coast qualifying event for the
2015 Powerman National Championship in South Florida and World
Championship in Zofingen, Switzerland. The Powerman USA sprint
event is a 5k run, 30k bike ride followed by a second 5k run. The
qualifying event is a 10k run, 60k bike ride, and 10k run. The event is
open to athletes of all levels. Athletes can register on-line at www.
powermanusa.org/events. “We are very excited to secure a 3-year
commitment to hold this world class event in April in Stanwood and
Snohomish County,” stated Stanwood Mayor Leonard Kelley. “Powerman organizers have designed a challenging course through Stanwood and surrounding areas,” Kelley added, “We are planning a number of special events on race day to bring a large group of spectators
to Stanwood to watch the race.” Powerman is the most recognized
duathlon series in the world with events in Holland, United Kingdom,
Italy, Belgium and Germany. Powerman USA events include Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin and now Stanwood, Washington.
This is a great opportunity for businesses in Snohomish, Skagit and
Whatcom counties to sponsor the event and connect with athletes
from nearby communities and across the west coast. The event is
supported in part by the City of Stanwood, Snohomish County Tourism Promotion Area Grant, the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau
and Sports Commission. For more information about sponsor opportunities contact the City of Stanwood at 360-629-2181 or email

PUD Seeks Applications for Solar
Energy Projects
Snohomish County Public Utility District is seeking applications from
local organizations for solar energy demonstration projects for installation on new or existing buildings in the utility’s service area. The
projects are made possible through the PUD’s Planet Power program,
a voluntary, customer-funded green energy initiative. Proposals for
PUD funding are due on March 16, 2015. “Planet Power has funded 29
local solar projects, which help the community learn more about this
energy source,” said PUD CEO & General Manager Steve Klein. “The
solar installations are part of a larger commitment to development
of local renewable energy sources right here in Western Washington.”
The PUD expects to award grants for up to six solar projects this year.
Planet Power also has supported solar energy curriculum at several
local schools. Interested organizations can get more details from the

Village Music and Arts Opportunities
for People with Disabilities
Valentine
trivia:
In 2011, Iran
banned Valentine cards, gifts,
teddy bears &
other Valentine
tokens as part
of an Islamic
republic backlash against
the spread of
Western culture.
Additionally,
some religious
activists in
India & Pakistan
protest it as a
day of shame of
lust.
Adults with developmental disabilities are invited to create, dance,
and/or enjoy live music at Village Music and Arts activities in north
Snohomish County. Opportunities include the monthly Evening with
the Arts Dance featuring live music by Jon Dalgarn and Voices of the
Village. The next dance is February 12, 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm at the Immaculate Conception Church, 1200 E. 5th Street Arlington, WA. The
dance theme is Friendship. Cost is $5.00 and includes a free snack,
beverage, and arts & crafts activity. Must be over the age of 18 to
attend the dance. Caregivers and volunteers may attend for free. People of all ages and musical abilities are welcome at our Friday Music
Jam Sessions, every Friday, 1pm to 3pm at Arlington United Church,
338 North McLeod Ave, Arlington, WA. $1 donation is suggested at
the door. Also see the Village Community Services’ website for a full
list of Voices of the Village performances at http://www.villagecommunitysvcs.org/vcs/Voices_of_the_Village.htm. Voices of the Village
