appy April, life is picking up isn’t it! The weather is more pleasant, enough to entice locals to wear a short sleeve shirt or shorts when the sun is out.

That’s one fabulous thing I love about spring and find amusement in that I am totally guilty of. When we get those first nice sunny days of spring it turns into go time! Time to pack up the family and speed to a sunny location, even at 45 degrees it’s time to fully wash, detail and wax the cars and hose off the driveway!

Everyone comes out of the woodwork when the weather is nice and some cannot wait to wear their summer attire. will power to withstand the ocean water I often find myself observing like I used to. Now I know Juneau’s “spring fashion” and April is still way too soon for thinking “dang, that looks people to think of swimming a little chilly” but in reality, outdoors in Alaska but it’s whatever makes you happy if not unheard of at the end you can stand it!

cove and then dare each other to jump off after taking about salmon sharks and whales. During the late summer when the salmon were spawning, we’d dare one another to “bathe with the fishies” though I am not sure we ever made it to the actual bathing part. I remember bringing a pair of goggles to the beach and learned very quickly that underwater viewing in Alaska wasn’t for me. There was just too much to see and no way to sprint out of the water fast enough in case a fish appeared or an unidentifiable shadow that was probably kelp or seaweed came into view. Though reminiscing of summer swimming might be more appropriate for a June or July column, as I sit here in the heat of the sun, it almost feels like summer. I hope you are enjoying the nicer weather as much as I am!

hours swimming at Lena Beach. For those who haven’t swam there before, unless it’s very low tide you kind of have to jump right in to avoid the barnacles and rocks unless you have some fancy water socks.

Stephanie, our siblings and myself would swim or use cheap floaties from KB Toys, and if we were lucky we’d lounge on a blow up raft and talk about our fish fears.

ecently I received a call from an insurance agent who had a client in her office who just lost half of his roof in a windstorm.

I responded to the call and met with the homeowner to go over his loss and to cover the roof until the insurance details were worked out and the weather permitted putting down a new roof. Upon inspection, I was unable to find anything right with the roof. In talking with the homeowner, he had just found out that the “contractor” that did his roof in September was not a licensed contractor. The unlicensed individual was in need of money and charged the homeowner for a roof and a deposit on painting the house in the spring as well.

blows off in a windstorm? Licensing, insurance, and bonding is the first step to being a professional in the construction industry.

Another important way that contractors can build professionalism in the industry is through involvement in organizations like national, regional or local building associations, and through their involvement in the community.

These building associations bring contractors together and even though some may be in direct competition with one another, the organization or association sets them apart from the rest of the contractors by sharing current industry best practices which help set a more consistent standard among members. There are often healthy discussions between contractors within these organizations to bring better, higher quality, healthier homes to people.

A contractor who is involved in the community shows that they are vested in the community they work in and are involved in trying to provide a better quality of life for the residents of the community.

Lastly, a contractor who is involved with continuing education, not just by meeting minimum requirements for keeping their license up to date but also in educating

themselves in the current practices within the construction industry. Research and development in the construction industry have come a long way since our fathers were contractors and what we learned with them early in our careers as contractors is now only a base for putting projects together and shaping our work ethics. Continuing education has put a lot of contractors on the cutting edge of development in the construction industry today.

Houses are getting more efficient,

healthier, and

This is a great time to be in the construction industry. Building science is coming a long way; some important innovations are coming in the areas of homes working as systems, energy efficiency and weatherization. I love doing what I do, and I know other contractors love doing what they do. I know that as a contractor, I have a lot to overcome but I want to elevate the field from one that is often not trusted to one where people see their contractor as a professional.

A professional is committed to the science of construction and is honest, reliable and committed to looking at your home as a balanced system.

Construction is a profession.

We all go and see a doctor when things aren’t right with our health.

Doctors to this day still continue to learn more about the human body, so why not choose a construction professional who continues to develop professionally and is always learning how a house works and functions.

Greg Stopher has over 16 years of experience in the construction field and earned a degree in Construction Technologies from the University of Alaska – Southeast.

XIT Realty of Juneau is proud to introduce one of their newest real estate licensees, AnaVera Morato.

Born and raised in Downtown Juneau, AnaVera now lives in the valley, taking full advantage of everything it has to offer her and her two large breed dogs.

However, she admits, “I will forever be a downtown girl.”

After leaving Juneau to attend college on the East Coast, she returned home knowing full well it was where she wanted to put down her roots, just as her parents had done before her.

For more than 7 years she worked for the Juneau Empire, helping customers find their way around classified and display marketing and advertising campaigns. It was there where she met

Growing up in Juneau with a family background of both Asian and Latino roots, she recognizes the significance of understanding culture and diversity in building a community that works for all.

Whether buying or selling your home, AnaVera’s strong background in sales and customer service can help you achieve your goals with the least amount of stress possible. Are you a first-time home buyer? Or perhaps you’re an experienced seller. Let AnaVera bring her positive energy to your next real estate journey.

Earth Day 2015 what tangible progress has this consciousness accomplished? Do most of us only think about our impact on the world’s ground, water and air once a year when this “holiday” approaches?

ednesday, April 22, 1970. That was the date of the very first Earth Day, and what many consider to be the beginning of a cohesive American attention to environmental issues on both a national and global scale.

We are fast approaching nearly forty years after it’s inception, and I wonder

I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately for several reasons, but primarily because of the recent measles outbreaks. Measles and the environment?

Measles and Vaccinations has been an extremely volatile debate all across the country, as a large outbreak linked to what is believed to have been a foreign traveler carrying the virus visited

Disneyland around Dec. 17, 2014. So what are just the numbers over the last 10 years concerning measles as related to number of cases and associated deaths? The CDC’s Vital Statistics Reports reference that of the 66 cases reported in 2005, there was 1 death, of the 71 cases reported in 2009, there were 2 deaths and of the 63 cases reported in 2010 there were 2 deaths. All other years 2004-2013 there were an average of about 90 cases reported nationally each year and no other deaths reported. 2014 saw a record number of cases (644) but no deaths. 2015 is just begun, and we’ve seen 176 cases, but still no associated deaths.

and spews toxic mercury in the air that ends up in the water and soil (and then 2 days later the cheap crap breaks and you throw it away and the plastic never degrades, just keeps getting smaller and smaller and ends up in the oceans, etc)…I am sure I could go on and on. But do you see my point? CHRONIC disease is a very big issue right now and just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Science shows us that all of these things contain known carcinogens. There is ample research. Cancer is the biggest cause of death by disease in children right now and the numbers are increasing. Why are we not focusing on this? All of us are to blame for those So whether you believe deaths. All of us. Please vaccines are important or start taking steps to bring necessary is not the point of those numbers down. this article.

It’s for earth friendly options.

8585 OLD DAIRY ROAD #102 LOCATED ACROSS THE HALL FROM THE CANTON HOUSE

Pickled and Probiotic Fermented Spruce Tips Pickled Spruce Tips 2 cups young spruce tips 1 cup purified water

Recipes

½ cup Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar 2Tbln sugar, organic 2 tsp Flake Sea or Pink Himalayan Salt Star Anise, whole crushed (1 whole per ½ pint) ½ pint canning jars (sterilized, seals and rings) Instructions:

Clean spruce tips of the brown papery husk (this is a sticky job) rinse well in cold water. Pack in sterilized ½ pint canning jars with tips until ½ inch from the top of the jar. Meanwhile bring spices salt, sugar and water and vinegar to boil on the stovetop until dissolved.

Fill mason jars with hot pickling liquid leaving ½ inch headspace from the top, secure with lid and seal. Process jars for ten minutes in a water bath canner (covered in water by 1 inch) for 20 minutes, pull and cool. Allow pickles to age for at least three months before use. Enjoy

Probiotic Fermented Spruce Tips I prefer natural fermented vegetables to utilize the probiotic enzymes that come from natural fermentation process. Especially with today’s pesticide laden diets, probiotics can heal the gut and a host of ails, adding in fermented vegetables to a daily diet is a great way to help combat a ton of ailments.

I

n honor of our luke warm winter this year you might have noticed the early buds on the bushes, and full on spring in the lower 48 a good month ahead of schedule. It’s

a great exciting time in Southeast to get out and forage spring’s bounty, from fiddleheads to stinging nettles, and one of my favorites; spruce tips. Made famous by Vancouver’s use of spruce tips in beer while visiting Alaska (and still used in Alaskan Winter Ale) they provide a powerhouse of vitamin c, a great healer of sore throats and stomach ulcers and also used as a mouthwash. I prefer them jellied and pickled, focusing on the second. I have two recipes this month, one a traditional vinegar based pickle recipe, it needs a few months to rest, so if I were you I’d pick enough spruce tips for both, the probiotic fermented version (edible in a few days) and the vinegar based pickled version (ready in three months). Here are

some other great books on wild foraging and medicinal herbs. So get out there, take a few friends or family and enjoy the longer days as we prepare for summer.

Additional reading sources: • Discovering Wild Plants by Janice Schofield • Plants of Coastal British Columbia including Washington, Oregon, and Alaska by Pojar and MacKinnon • Medicinal Plants of the Pacific West by Michael Moore Amber King can be emailed at accereek@gmail.com

I use the Perfect Pickler kits, which are designed to fit on most wide mouth canning jars, large or small depending on the amount you want to process. You do need to have a warm area for the veggies to ferment over 60 degrees but not hotter than 80 (which shouldn’t be a problem in Southeast) usually within the first day you will start to see bubbles forming.

Fill jar of your choice with cleaned spruce tips Add 1 tsp high quality sea salt Fill with filtered water, insert metal tamper, then seal with gasket and pickler lid. Fill airlock to the line with water and place in the “o” ring. Put jar on a plate (most of the time it will overflow) and place in warm area (but not direct sunlight) for up to three days. Once fermented remove pickler lid and cover with regular canning jar lid and refrigerate. Enjoy blended in salad dressings, mayonnaise, on top of fried eggs for breakfast, and with rice as a side condiment in Asian dishes, but my favorite has to be in a great Bloody Mary or Caesar on Sunday morning!

You can also pulverize fresh spruce tips in sugar or salt in a blender or food processor to use as garnish, or in baking!

Enjoy from my spruced up table to yours, Amber King | Amberking907@gmail.com
