Sherlock Holmes’ mind works so quickly that his body has trouble keeping
up. So it benefits an actor playing Sherlock to have and edgy and energetic
stride as he races about the stage solving mysteries. Chase Smell’s
body language is one of the strengths he brings to the lead role in Lower Columbia College’s
production of “Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure,” which opened this

Skagit students
share taste of Mexico
Handmade tamales, warm shrimp empanadas, fresh ceviche. Sound good? As
part of an exchange program, culinary students at Skagit Valley College
learned how to make those dishes and more from someone who knows best: Chef
Luis Carlos De Roman, a culinary arts instructor at the Puerto Vallarta
Instituto Technologico (Institute of Technology). For nearly three
weeks, De Roman taught Skagit students how to make authentic Mexican food,
serving it at banquets and in the Cardinal Cafe. His instruction gave
students a first-hand opportunity to experience and learn about authentic
Mexican cuisine.
