Mail Box Thieves Caught in Act!
Stephany's brother, George Grabenhorst, put an end to the mail box thieves that have been hitting his neighborhood. Saturday morning he saw a small white truck zip up to the boxes at the end of his driveway and take the mail. He jumped in his truck and roared away after them. After a whirlwind chase he cornered the truck when it turned into a road through a storage facility which had no exit. He had called the police on his cell phone and they arrived shortly after. A woman and a man were arrested. It turns out the truck was stolen and contained two duffel bags of stolen mail. Way to go, George!

Health news in 2003 has not started out well with two cases of cancer reported.
Stephany's sister, Anne Heartwood, has been diagnosed with lung cancer. She was in Alaska with her son, Justin, and his family for several months and developed a hacking cough and shortness of breath. When she flew down to Washington at Christmas to be with her daughter, Seren, she felt worse and went to a clinic. They diagnosed a tumor pressing against a major vein draining into the jugular and rushed her by ambulance to Mount Vernon where they began treatment immediately. Anne is currently staying with Seren in Coupeville on Whidbey Island, Washington where she is undergoing radiation and chemotherapy.
Stephany's aunt, Jean Maxwell, is currently undergoing treatment for cancer of the bladder lining in Langley, British Columbia where she lives. She reports the prognosis for her type of cancer is good.
