FYI

Come watch Bothell High School seniors take on the local cops Tuesday night at Bothell’s seventh annual Bacon Ball basketball game.

The DARE fundraiser pits Bothell police officers and high school seniors to see who has the most stamina and skill.

Bothell police Sgt. Elmer Brown said the game brings the community together for a great cause. The problem is “every year the police department team gets older while the high school team never ages,” he said.

The game starts at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Bothell High School, 8125 92nd Ave. NE.

Admission is $3.

Fourth-graders will perform an original musical about the Mukilteo Lighthouse at 7 p.m. Thursday at Endeavor Elementary School, 12300 Harbour Pointe Blvd., Mukilteo.

The play, written by Mukilteo resident Linda Wooding for the lighthouse’s 100th anniversary, is about the early lighthouse keepers and their families.

Volunteers are needed to assist patients with life-threatening illnesses and their families by running errands, recording life histories, doing light housework and providing transportation.

An information meeting will be at 6:30 tonight at Providence Hospice &Home Care of Snohomish County, 2731 Wetmore Ave., Everett.

Forty hours of Monday night training classes begin April 3. There also will be two Saturday sessions.

For more information, call 425-261-4808.

Oak Harbor is offering residents help in cleaning up debris after the recent windstorms.
