WHS senior Emily Carroll prepares to bury her time capsule in the school courtyard. It will be opened at her 50th high school reunion.

A moment in time

Fifty years from now, most members of the Washougal High School class of 2011 will be retired and many will have grandchildren, some close to graduating. As mind-blowing as growing older is for many teenagers, the fact of the matter is that it happens quicker than any of us expect.

Connor Sullivan and Emily McDonald, both of Camas, and Jaycob Bailey of Washougal (left to right), all took part in the recent digital storytelling showcase, held at Fort Vancouver High School. Through the project, Clark County youth shared their life stories. "They were deep," Sullivan said of the videos.  "They have a lot of impact to them."

Defining moments

Throughout life, there are defining moments. These are the events in our lives that shape who we are. Our personalities, our fears, our joys, and our insecurities are defined by these kinds of transforming experiences that help guide our interactions with the world. Most people probably don't think much about the cumulative impact of these moments. They may not even recognize their significance at the time they happen. But 15 youth from Clark County's Juvenile Recovery Court and the "Strong Teens Against Substance Hazards and Abuse" peer education program recently took the time to do just that.

Last year's Iron Chef competitors inspect the various dinner ingredients to ensure the quality of the items. The 2011 event will be held at Camas Meadows. It is a benefit for the Camas Educational Foundation.

Iron Chef returns for a second year

Two teams. Fun rivalry. A great cause. This is how organizers describe the second annual Iron Chef event, hosted by the Camas Educational Foundation. Last year, the competition raised more than $4,000 for local students. Organizers are hoping to exceed that amount this time around. "[We want to] support our district's creative and dedicated teachers, and proceeds from Iron Chef will be added to the CEF grant budget," organizer Deborah Mrazek said.
