Folks who want to quit smoking will try anything. How about making a baseball card at an AquaSox game?
On Friday, the My Time To Quit Campaign will be offered at an Everett AquaSox game at Everett Memorial Stadium. Planned is a discussion about the benefits of quitting smoking and a chance to talk to a health care professional about making a quitting plan.
During the game, take a photo in a booth, which will produce a free baseball card that will outline the steps for quitting.
According to the campaign, 70 percent of smokers say they want to quit, but more than 15.7 percent of adults in Washington still smoke.

A quilt historian plans to speak in Mukilteo tonight.
Karen Alexander plans to visit the Mukilteo Lighthouse Quilters at 7 p.m. at Point of Grace Lutheran Church, 5425 Harbour Pointe Blvd. in Mukilteo.
The presentation is called “A History of Quilting As Told Through Doll Quilts.” Admission is $5.
Alexander, a member of the LaConner Quilt & Textile Museum, saw the textiles of other cultures while living overseas as a teenager in 19 countries.
“I became especially interested in quilts as a vehicle of family history, thanks to my mother-in-law,” Alexander says. “The first quilt she gave us was made entirely of our eldest daughter’s art work from ages 3 to 8. Wini interpreted Sarah’s artwork in several different forms of needlework and incorporated them all into a single quilt.”

Dan Rucker didn’t peek at what folks had in hand Saturday in Lynnwood.
That is the whole idea of shredding — getting rid of personal papers confidentially.
“In discussion, most of it was financial data, but we didn’t look at what they were shredding,” says the account executive.
Rucker says about 75 folks carted papers to the PLC Insurance parking lot.
