"We really feel like in Shelton ... there's
not a lot of emphasis on how we're a diverse
community," she said. "Let's celebrate that."
Each advisory class had its own booth at
the event, and they served samples of their
food while classmates performed for par-
ents as part of the entertainment section.
Many different countries and ethnicities
were represented at the event, including
the Philippines, Egypt, Japan, Germany,
Sweden, Mexico, Guatemala, Ireland, Spain
and many more.
The students, with help from their com-
munity advisor and their advisory class
teacher made all the food themselves.
Rafael Lopez and Marissa Welles were
part of a group that picked Germany as
their country.
"We did an evaluation of the class to
see where we were from," Welles said. "We
picked Germany ... and made German ap-
ple cake."
Most of the students involved seemed to
be having a great time, and were proud of
the projects they had created.
"All the others are good ... but ours is
unique," Lopez said.
Some classes had to pick a random coun-
try in an effort to represent as many diverse
ethnicities as possible, like Erin Earsley
and Samantha Stevens' group.
"We found out what countries we were
from, but ours were taken so we picked
Sweden," Earsley said.
While samples of all the students' cre-
ations were available at their booths, the
parent teacher student organization (PTSO)
also provided bowls of chili at the door to
make sure everyone got enough to eat.
Although the program is only in its sec-
ond year, Stevens said that it has been a
huge success for the kids and the school.
"They love it," she said. "We need to be a
united community, not divided."

"I love it, I'm addicted to it," she said.
"This is when I discovered my passion in
life, at 41 years old."
Gunter said that anyone can do a ket-
tlebell workout, and the gym offers class-
es for every stage of fitness.
"It can be a little intimidating, it's chal-
lenging, but that's what's so great about
kettlebells. You push yourself above and
beyond what you think you can do," she
said.
Although she admitted that most days
she lives on smoothies, Gunter shared
this recipe for chicken wraps.
Makes three to four wraps, depending
on the size.
::: Chicken wraps
1 cup cooked chicken cut into small pieces
1/4 of a large apple, cored and chopped
1/3 cup grapes, quartered
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste
whole wheat wraps (although any flavor of wrap will
work)

org. It seems amazing, but
they have completed 18
homes in the county and are
already starting on number
19 - how great is that.
The second presentation
in Harstine Island's Inquir-
ing Minds series for 2011 is
set for Sunday, Feb. 27 at
2 p.m. in the Community
Hall. For those of you who
enjoyed the first program by
Harriet Baskas, they have
a second that promises to
be every bit as good. The
speaker is Michael Her-
schensohn, whose interest
in historic buildings led him
to complete a degree in pres-
ervation, planning and the
history of American archi-
tecture.
His presentation will fea-
ture historic buildings from
across Washington State, as
well as the people who occu-
pied them. The doors of the
hall will open at 1:30 p.m.,
so all are invited to come
early, socialize and enjoy
coffee and cookies with our
speaker. Admission is free
and the organizers look for-
ward to having a large and
enthusiastic crowd.
Another big event com-
ing up that needs to be on
your calendar is the Pio-
neer Kiwanis annual Crab,
Clam and Spaghetti Dinner
- March 19 at 4:30 p.m. This
is the clubs' biggest fund-
raiser and the money goes
right back to the school and
the kids.
Ticket prices haven't
changed; they are $20 for
adults and $10 for kids. The
club is still looking for dona-
tions to the silent auction. If
you have something you
could donate give me a call
at 427-9516; or better yet,
attend one of the clubs meet-
ings at Spencer Lake Bar
and Grill. We meet there
every Wednesday moming
from 7 to 8 a.m. Larry and
Kim put out a great break-
fast; there is great fellow-
ship, laughter and a volun-
teer spirit that starts the
day with a great feeling.
If you have any 'club in-
formation or event date that
you want to put in the arti-
cle, contact me at sobadog@
msn.com.
Mix ingredients together in a bowl. Spoon two to three
Tbsp. of the filling onto wrap, roll once, turn in sides
and roll again.
