TIARA MORRISON and Sasha Tarver sing a cappella dur- ing the recent Healthy Living Marketplace. Both partici- pated at the event and in the federally funded mentoring program through Save Our County's Kids. Gathering on healthy living benefits SOCK The first Annual Healthy Liv- ing Marketplace, an evening of fun and fund-raising for Shelton's youth center, took place last Tues- day at the Robin Hood Restaurant & Pub in Union• Staff from the Robin Hood and Save Our County's Kids, or' SOCK, teamed up to put the event together, which showcased local providers whose work promotes healthy lifestyles. The evening featured a full range of organic appetizers and local Olympic Mountain sorbet, plus drinks from both the Robin Hood Pub and a natural juice bar. The healthy lifestyles provid- ers were located around the res- taurant's dining area and outside on the flower- and sun-filled patio, creating a festive marketplace feel for the event. Patrons wandered from booth to booth, signing up for massages, foot baths and tar- ot card readings while sampling the organic appetizers and fresh smoothies and juices provided by the restaurant as well as raspber- ry sorbet from Olympic Mountain t. Ice Cream• Sideways Reign, a local band, and a number of guest singers en- tertained the gathering. Those in attendance were invited to pur- chase photographs produced by youngsters enrolled in SOCK's after-school digital photography class, known as "Photo Fo'Sho." Raffle prizes included a plane ride over Puget Sound with SOCK staff member Dan Ryder, a kaya- king trip with Kayak Hood Canal, a night's stay at Robin Hood Vil- lage,- and a gift certificate to the Robin Hood Restaurant. "We had a great turnout," said Kelsey Martin-Keating, a SOCK staffer who organized the event. "It was gratifying to see so many people having a good time and supporting SOCK, while learning about ways to live more healthy and relaxed lives. We look for- ward to making the Healthy Living Marketplace an annual springtime event."

Avastin TM (bevacizumab) is a very similar medi- cation made by the same company (Genentech)• Prior to the approval of Lucentis TM, many ophthalmolo- gists were using Avastin off-label to treat macular degeneration pa- tients. Avastin TM costs less than $150 per treatment, compared with $2,000 per treatment for LUcentisTM; therefore, Avastin TM offers a far less expensive alternative for treatment of advanced AMD. The problem is that Avastin TM is FDA-approved only for treatment of colon and other cancers but not for macular degeneration. Genentech is seek- ing to limit the use of Avastin TM for AMD. Although intraocular injections of Avastin TM appear to be safe and effective in the short term, long term studies are lacking, but a compara- tive clinical study will begin soon. 1-800-640-5503 207 Professional Way 426-4272 (Across from the holpltal) tic systems work and what to do to protect this expensive feature of rural homes.
