Sharing heartfelt thanks for program

I would like to thank the Tulalip Tribes and the Tulalip Health Clinic for their Stop Smoking Clinic. When I called the program, they didn’t ask me my race, age or tribal affiliation, only whether I was a member of the community. How refreshing. Their worker, Nadine Carter, was amazing. She provided me with nicotine patches, nicotine gum, information, pamphlets, gum, candy, games and lots and lots of inspiration. At no cost to me.

Thanks to the Tulalip Tribes and Nadine I am, after 40 years, smoke free for 2 months. What a great community service. My heartfelt thanks.

FILE -- In this Aug. 15, 2012 file photo, three variations of the AR-15 assault rifle are displayed at the California Department of Justice in Sacramento, Calif. While the guns look similar, the bottom version is illegal in California because of its quick reload capabilities. Omar Mateen used an AR-15 that he purchased legally when he killed 49 people in an Orlando nightclub over the weekend President Barack Obama and other gun control advocates have repeatedly called for reinstating a federal ban on semi-automatic assault weapons that expired in 2004, but have been thwarted by Republicans in Congress.
