Jesse ret onth returned to Shuksan Middle
Si bool in Bellingham, but attends only half
days Most 13-year-olds would agree with her
when she says, "That's plenty "
For Jesse, it's a matter of enduram e. not
personal preferent e. and site's happy for the
opportunity
"That way I can get in what i need to get in
and loam what I need to loam without hav
ing to go a full day."
Clad to "be one of I ho < rowd again." Jesse
says "It fools good to ho hai k I'm not dif
ferent."
A few weeks ago. Jesse was one of five
os ipionts of the I'Ml North wi~4 Philanthropy

er own a Redmond company that manufac
tures cosmetics for Nordstrom.
Smalls was one of Jesse's regular visitors
and stnuru hest bai kers through her battles
with i am er
When Jesse was released from the hospi
tal. Smalls invited her to spend time at the
shop and make up some gifts for friends
"It all started as small gifts.'' Jesse says.
"Then Susan suggested that I go down and
make up some (items for sale) I was the one
who picket! the fragrance and the color, the
name and stuff"
Peach? "Yeah. I like peaches."
The suggestion was perfect for Jesse.
"Tver since I got out of the hospital. I want
ed to do something that would help other
kids Hut I couldn't think of any things (she
could do at her age). ... Like they have vol
unteers that just go around and do things with
patients That was something I always want
eel to do. And it's something I'll probably still
do.
"But this kind of came up. and so we did
it." she vivs "I'm happy because it will help
other kids "
Jesse's products are marketed In the fife's
A Peach Foundation, a nonprofit organiza

researt h and families fighting cancer.
Among the products in the Perfect Peach
line is a gel Jesse calls "Everything Wash."
The following verse is included on the tag
and describes the range of possibilities:
"When everything needs washing from
your head down to your toes / Your fuzzy
hair, vour knobby knees, your big or little nose
/ A bottle lull of hopes and dreams is here
within your reach / A super special sunny
squirt of Jesse's Perfect Peach.”

"It's looking like late February'
or early Man h liefon* we ll even

The Mari h 2fi quake forced
closure of the Rotunda, which
stands i * Mi feet high beneath the
brii k and mortar dome ft
remains sealed from public

Capitol tower and left a throe-foot

building.
However, the Rotunda, the
