Native Bazaar features Tribal artists, crafters By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Tulalip Tribal artists and crafters gathered for the annual Native Bazaar held by local Tulalip members to share their drums, baskets, jewelry and other items. This year's bazaar was held at the Don Hatch Jr. Youth Center on Nov. 17 and 18 this year with more than 35 vendors (although scheduled to run on Nov. 16 the first day of the bazaar was cancelled due to another event). "There is not a single table left for anybody to set up," said Tulalip Tribal member Tammy Taylor, who has organized the event for the past nine years. There were a variety of traditional crafts such as beadwork, cedar baskets, shawls and blankets. The techniques for making those items have sometimes been passed down through many generations.

Marysville announces 4th of July Festival When you get your 2019 wall calendar, put a big red star on the Fourth of July and plan to attend Marysville’s newest holiday party. The Fourth of July Festival featuring music, a professional fireworks display, vendors and family activities was approved by the Marysville City Council at its Nov. 13 meeting. “I’m delighted that Marysville is able to offer a high-quality, professional fireworks show this next 4th of

prepare it before you can even decide what you want to make," she said. Originally her family wasn't trying to sell their items. "We had totes full of stuff because we love to weave and we weren't selling it out there," said Taylor. Caroline "Uppy" Thornberry began the bazaar and invited the Taylor family to bring their items. "The first place I really set up to sell was her bazaar, and it really wasn't a 'bazaar' back then, it was just a Christmas thing where we got together," she said. "It was like a garage sale and people would bring their DVDs, and back then

Concessions and family-friendly activities will be offered prior to the fireworks show.

"I think part of it is being able to visit with everyone. I come down here and make a little bit of money, but that is not the most important thing to me," said Tulalip craftsman David Fryberg. "I like that it brings the whole community together. I get to run into people that I don't normally see and I know everybody here," said Tribal artist Jennifer Tracy. Many of the vendors who come to the Native Bazaar have attended the event for many years. "All of our vendors have been coming here for a long

Look for more information in early 2019 about opportunities for civic and community groups to be involved. The 4th of July Committee met several times in 2018 and recommended that the city host a public event on the 4th of July including fireworks, music, vendors and activities. Fireworks possession and use of fireworks by individuals within Marysville city limits has been illegal since January 2017.

"This event is most important to all the people in the community for buying local artwork, prints, shawls and all the stuff you see here," said Craig. "I like seeing all the talent that comes out here," she said. Some, like Fryberg, have been working on their craft for many decades. He said he has been making traditional drums for about 50 years and weaving for about 25 to 30 years. "I just like to work with the wood," he said. Tracy said she has been making art for about a decade now. "When I was a kid I couldn't draw to save my life, never had an art class. About 10 years ago I got some extra time, I was sick at home, and I said I always wanted to do this and just kept on trying," she said. The Native Bazaar provides a place for those artists to come together. "We walked around, hug each other, because we're friends that maybe haven't seen each other in a while," said Taylor. "It's a fun place to come and hang out."

Community members tour Arlington schools By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Arlington community members got a personal tour of local schools as part of the annual Know Our Schools hosted by the Arlington School District. The regular event, usually held once a year, allows parents and other locals an opportunity to see local schools up close. This year’s event was held on Nov. 15 and included tours of Presidents Elementary, Haller Middle School and Weston High School. Community members were also able to ride one of the district’s newest buses. “Our bus fleet is one of the oldest in the state,” said Brian Lewis, director of operations for the district, with some buses running 350,000 to 400,000 miles. “We end up putting a lot more money into keeping the buses running and safe when they’re that old,” said Lewis. At Presidents Elementary community members saw some of the programs that are a part of the school, such as teachers emphasizing the “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.” “We were a licensed ‘Leader and Me’ school, but we’ve gone away from paying that licensing fee,

but we’re still teaching the seven habits,” said Derek Larsen, principal for the school. The elementary school has also put together some programs to help kids get involved, such as their ‘Green Ninjas.’ “They’re a green team and they help in the lunch room, basically with our recycling efforts and the cleaning, and it’s amazing how many kids love to help work,” said Larsen. At Haller Middle School community members toured the school and saw some of the new security features at the building, such as a callbox that has been installed throughout schools in the district. “This is linked to our main office so any visitor that comes in can press that and we can ask them what they’re here for and what they need,” said Haller Middle School principal Trever Summers. “Anyone that wants to enter would have to request entry,” said Lewis. At Weston High School, the district’s alternative high school, community members saw a number of different programs that allow students options to graduate or earn their GED.

The Open Doors program is specifically meant to bring back students that have left the education system. “This program is for students who have disengaged from education, usually by dropping out, and want to come back and get their diploma or GED,” said case manager Renee McArt. It began last year and has about 56 students this year, with a number of graduates as well. They partner with Darrington and Lakewood schools and accept kids throughout the region. The Alternative Online Program allows students to catch on schooling by earning credits through online classes. “They’ve missed credit in their schooling and they're trying to make it up so they can graduate or graduate on time,” said Kailyn Otto, a teacher at Weston High School. The program is also helpful for students with children or a job and need a flexible schedule. Weston High School student Macie Bailey talked about ‘restorative justice’ being used at the school for conflict resolution. ‘Restorative justice’ is

a broad theory that advocates rehabilitation of offenders foremost over punishment. “Whenever somebody gets in trouble here we

don’t just go ‘hey, you’re suspended.’ We get in a group and talk it out with two teachers, a standby student and the principal,” said Bailey.

She said that sometimes students are going through their own problems and the system helps everyone stay empathetic to the issues of fellow students.

Experienced players Tomahawks gear up return to lead Chargers for exciting season By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com

By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com The Marysville Getchell girls basketball team is gearing up for a solid season behind an experienced core. After suffering a few injuries before last season began, the Chargers got off to a rough start on their way to a 4-8 league record and on overall record of 5-15. During the offseason they only lost two seniors and return the majority of their varsity roster, including players that have recovered from injury. “I’m really excited about this year. We have players coming back from injury and a lot of them have been in my program for three years. It has been an easy transition and they have come out really hungry to start playing,” said Marysville Getchell Head Coach Shannon Grandbois. After losing them for the entire season last year, junior Maddy Grandbois and senior Mikail Montez will make a huge impact for the Chargers. With their height and strength, they will play an enormous role in the team’s ability to rebound the ball and create secondchance points. The Chargers have a rotation of guards that will keep a lot of speed and athleticism on the court at all times. The senior guard duo of Sydney Norton and Kiki

They will provide a lot of leadership and control the offensive tempo for Marysville Getchell. The junior guard duo of Madison Hagglund and Kortney Crane played significant minutes last season. The juniors grew a lot on the offense, including their ability to shoot from range. In the frontcourt, Marysville Getchell has senior Katie Powell and junior Alexus Atkins that controlled the paint last season. After a year of varsity experience,

they will look to use their height to score from in close as well as disrupting shots on the defensive end. “The most important things are to be positive, reach our potential early, trust in one another and develop a family chemistry early on. This team can be really special as long as they work hard and come together,” said Coach Grandbois. Your first chance to cheer on the Chargers at home will be against the Mariner Marauders on Tuesday, Nov. 27, at 7:15 p.m.

As the basketball season nears tip-off, the Marysville-Pilchuck boys basketball team is getting ready for an exciting year. Last season the Tomahawks had a lot of talent and played their way to a 10-2 league record, 19-5 record overall. With such a successful regular season they ended up fighting through the 3A District Tournament and finally lost at the State Regionals. Through the offseason, Marysville-Pilchuck lost four seniors but return an incredible array of talented basketball players. “With having so many guys back we are able to get to mid- or late-season form at the very beginning, which is huge. Sometimes I pinch myself and think about all of the super talented guys we have and the compliment of the solid players that we have surrounding them,” said Marysville-Pilchuck Head Coach Bary Gould. This season will be all about division one prospect Raequan Battle, as he enters his final year as a Tomahawk, before playing for the Washington Huskies next season. Battle finished last year with first team all-conference honors as well as solidifying himself as one of the best shooting guards in the country. Around Battle will be big-time junior starters Luke Dobler and Aaron Kalab. Dobler capped off an incredible sophomore year by joining Raequan as a first team allconference honoree. This season he will be in charge of the offense from the point guard position after the graduation of senior Josiah Gould. Kalab seemed to get better with every game last season as he finished with an allconference honorable mention. He played strong inside, crashing the boards and forcing contact, as well as being one of the best defenders for M-P. In the offseason, the Tomahawks added two transfer students from Marysville Getchell in juniors Cameron Stordahl and Ethan Jackson. Stordahl will provide Marysville-Pilchuck with some height as well as an-

other weapon from beyond the arc. Jackson will play a big role down in the paint, as he adds some much-needed size and rebounding help. “The advice you get from long-time coaches is ‘when you’re going to be pretty good you should enjoy it’. So right now, I’m just trying to make them better every day and enjoy the team that I have in the gym,” said Coach Gould. If you want to come out and root on the Tomahawks, their first home game will be against the Lynden Lions on Friday, Nov. 30, at 7:15 p.m.

Cougars set high expectations on hardcourt By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com

Alex Coleman, Cougars’ senior wing, takes a deep three during shooting drills at Lakewood High School on Nov. 14.

With the high school winter sports season warming up, the Lakewood boys basketball team will look to reload after a strong run last year. Last season the Cougars came out with a lot of experience as they had eight seniors on their varsity roster. Their ability to hit the ground running proved to be a huge advantage as they started the year with five consecutive wins. In the end, they finished with a 10-3 league record, 16-7 overall, and lost two games in the 2A District Tournament to end their season. “We get to start from a different point than we did last year. I think we can immediately get into focusing on smaller details rather than bigger picture things. We had a lot of seniors last year, but our underclassmen played a lot of minutes, so going into this year our expectations are high,” said Lakewood Head Coach Anthony Wiederkehr II. Even with the loss of eight seniors, Lakewood returns three players who played significant minutes in the lineup last season. In the backcourt, senior Machai

Harris and junior Alex Jensen will look to use their speed and create space for the rest of their team. They will also take advantage of their ability to shoot from range, in order to put up points quickly, when it is needed. In the frontcourt, senior Alex Coleman comes back as the only big man with varsity experience on the roster. Coleman will need to use his size and athleticism in order to dominate the paint and capitalize on second-chance opportunities. Jackson Schultz is the only other player returning from last year’s varsity roster. From the guard position he will be in rotation and play a significant role in the leadership of an inexperienced squad. “You can’t be content with just being good, you have to push yourself every day in order to be great. Expectations will be high because last year we hadn’t proven anything to anyone yet. After finishing near the top of the conference and having a successful season, we will get everyone’s best game,” said Coach Wiederkehr. You can come out and support Lakewood at their first home game, which will be against the Stanwood Spartans on Wednesday, Nov. 28, at 7:15 p.m.

M-P's Fischer signs letter of intent to MSU By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Mar ysv i l le-Pi lchuck High School student Lily Fischer signed her letter of intent to play Division I softball at Murray State University on Nov. 14. Initially the Kentucky university wasn’t even on Fischer’s radar and she thought she would attend one of the Washington state colleges after this year. “I was just planning on staying local,” she said. However, she caught the eye of officials from Murray State University while playing third base at a tournament. “I was pretty surprised when I was at my softball tournament and the scouts from Murray State became interested in me,” said Fischer. “They didn’t show up to watch me play, they were there to watch another girl, but I just had an awesome game and they told me to call them,” she said. She did followup with Murray State University and was eventually offered a scholarship. The scholarship surprised Fischer as she wasn’t sure if college softball was going to happen for her. “It literally blew my mind. It felt like my dreams were coming true,” Fischer said. “I’ve always wanted to play college softball and just keep playing softball since I started when I was five years old,” she said. She has visited and

November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month The holidays are a time to spend with family, make new memories or cherish old memories of those who are no longer with us. Lately, the memory of my grandfather has been on my mind. Ten years ago he died from Alzheimer's disease-related complications. It was a slow,

progressive illness that his took is personality, memory and mobility. November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month. According to the Centers for Disease Control, there are an estimated 5 million people living in the United States with

Alzheimer’s. The number of cases is expected to reach 16 million by 2050. It is currently the sixth leading cause of death. These statistics are alarming and why I chose to focus on Alzheimer’s in this month’s article. Memory impairment — often referred to as mild

cognitive decline — is a potential precursor to the development of Alzheimer's. Cognitive decline presents as mild but measurable changes in thinking abilities that are noticeable to the person who is affected and by their family and friends. Alzheimer’s is a more severe set of these symptoms leading to the disruption of everyday life, mental and physical decline. Some of the signs and symptoms of cognitive decline and increased for Alzheimer’s include: n Memory loss, especially of recent events, names, places and other new information. n Confusion about time and place. n Changes in mood and personality. n Problems planning or completing tasks. n Problems with words in speaking or writing. n Misplacing things or inability to retrace steps. There is no single known cause for cognitive decline transitioning into Alzheimer’s. It’s a multifactorial disease that is influenced by other disease processes in the body, diet and lifestyle choices, nutritional deficiencies, environmental

exposures and genetic predispositions. When the brain is affected by Alzheimer’s, changes occur that lead to decreased production of neurotransmitters: messengers in the brain that control cognition, muscle movement, sleep cycle and mood. There is also decreased circulation in the brain that leads to decreased delivery of oxygen, decreased waste clearing, increased inflammation and damage to cells in the brain. Brain health is influenced by the health of the whole body. Disease processes in the body that promote inflammation or reduce blood flow to the brain promote cognitive decline and increase risks for Alzheimer’s. Some of the diseases known to increase the risk for Alzheimer’s include: diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, traumatic brain injury and Down’s Syndrome. Lifestyle habits like smoking tobacco and consuming alcohol increase risk for Alzheimer’s disease. Those who smoke a pack a day or more are at higher risk, and the risk increases with prolonged use. Smoking decreases oxygen delivery to the brain and pro-

motes inflammation. Tobacco smoke also contains heavy metals and chemicals that have the ability to directly damage brain cells and deplete nutrients that protect the brain. Alcohol is directly toxic to brain cells and depletes nutrients essential for brain health. It also impairs the repair of brain cells. Heavy metals are one type of environmental exposure that have a profound effect on brain health. Arsenic, lead and mercury are associated with premature brain aging, memory deficits, learning disorders, inflammation and direct brain cell damage. These effects are seen from acute large exposures as well as chronic low level exposures to these heavy metals. There are certain genes associated with an increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease. While these genes increase risk, their presence is not a guarantee of disease. Activation and promotion of these genes is determined by diet and lifestyle factors, nutritional status, environmental exposures and unmanaged disease states. It’s important to remember that not all memory issues are caused by Alzheimer’s. Hormone imbalances (such as those caused by menopause or slowed thyroid function), nutrient deficiencies, stress, depression, anxiety, impaired sleep quality and certain medications like antihistamines and antacids are known to negatively impact memory. Typically, Alzheimer’s manifests after age 60 and the risk increases with age. It is important to stress that the changes in the brain that lead to the development of Alzheimer’s start 15-20 years prior to diagnosis. This means there is a lot that can be done to help lower Alzheimer’s risk. Talk to your naturopathic doctor about reducing your risk for Alzheimer’s and maintaining your brain health.

Local businesses help improve kennel for APD Two local businesses donate labor and supplies to improve the dog kennel at the Arlington Police Station By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com

The Arlington Police Department has an improved dog kennel thanks to donations from two local businesses. The department’s dog kennels are used to house dogs that the department picks up for a variety of reasons. “Sometimes someone calls in a stray,” said Arlington Police Department Sergeant Rory Bolter. Usually the department takes those dogs to a shelter, but they are not always able to do so. “The shelter we use up in Skagit County is not open 24 hours, sometimes it’s the weekend and sometimes we don’t have

a spare officer to transport the dog,” he said. The Arlington Police Department’s old dog kennel was roofed with a tarp at the Arlington Police Station, which was not always very effective shelter for any of the dogs staying there. “It rips very easily, especially when there’s wind, and is not the best at keeping the dogs dry,” said Bolter. Bolter called local roofing business Axis Roofing and Gutter recently to ask about putting on a new roof for the dogs there. “I asked them how much it would cost to put a roof on the kennel,” said Bolter. “And they called me back and offered to provide the labor and supplies for the project.” Local business Stoneway Roofing Supply also provided supplies as part of the project. They provided metal roofing,

Bolter said that it was helpful that Axis Roofing and Gutter employees also came down to put the roof together as well. “We didn’t have to cover the labor of the project, so that our city employees can go out and work on other projects,” said Bolter. As part of the new kennel they also provided some other improvements. “They built stands for the dogs that keeps the doghouses up off the ground,” said Bolter, which make it so the dogs did not have to sleep on the ground.

Marysville Mayor Nehring discusses crime, transportation at Coffee Klatch By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Marysville officials discussed issues such as crime and transportation, and gave updates on some of the city’s recreation projects at Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring’s most recent Coffee Klatch. The informal meeting for the community was held on Nov. 14. The Coffee Klatches are held every few weeks in the city for residents to attend and ask questions of public officials. Problems with individuals with addiction issues was one of the big topics. Jeff Goldman, operations commander with the Marysville Police Department, encouraged locals to report criminal activity they see, because even if police arrive too late to deal with the issue it allows them to track where it is happening. “The key point from the police standpoint is that we track everything and have maps that are updated by the minute.” he said, “We can see where the hot spots are.” If you are not comfortable handling drug needles, the police are available to help as well. “We’ll come pick that up and dispose of it for you,” said Goldman. “Some people are very comfortable with that, some are not." Nehring said that crime is something that city officials discuss a lot and that the crime rates have been dropping in the city.

“I know that if you’re the victim of a crime it doesn’t matter to you that crime rates are going down citywide,” he said. The city is taking steps to get to the heart of the problem, as well, said Nehring, which he sees as those with addiction problems. “We feel morally and for the sake of the community that we have to provide an alternative path,” said Nehring. The city has partnered with Snohomish County in sending out an embedded social worker to help those who want to seek treatment have an easier time of receiving it. Nehring said that those with addiction problems go in and out of local jails, costing the taxpayers a lot of money, and the best outcome would be to support treatment paths. “We have this exhausting rotating circle. So the true way to get out of this is to get these people into a treatment center and off the streets,” he said. Some residents were concerned about Mother Nature’s Window, a wooded property the city intends to turn into a park but is still mostly forest. Parks, Culture and Recreation Department Director Jim Ballew said that fencing is part of the future plan for the land. “We think that would help define the boundaries and the edges,” he said. “Right now we have about a $1.4 million budgeted to make improvements

Ballew said that the city has one federal and one state grant request in for matching funds to help develop the park. The Ebey Waterfront area may also be receiving some more recreation options in the future. “Our waterfront area is something that has been a long-term goal,” he said. The last few years have been about cleaning the chemicals left from the former uses of the land. “Environmentally we got grants to clean the contaminants and that took several years, but a good chunk of that work is done,” said Nehring. In terms of transpor-

tation Nehring said that an overpass over the train tracks on 88th Street or Fourth Street remains unlikely, as that would wipe out access to State Avenue. Instead, the most likely target is Grove Street. The city received funding to get a project design started. “The council and I took that down to Olympia. We pick away at these things and it usually takes a few year,” said Nehring. Even more than traffic concerns, the overpass should help with emergency response, said Nehring. “If you have a problem on the other side, like a heart attack, you can’t get over there right now,” he said. “It’s a big public safety issue for us."

Marysville considers 2019-20 budget ___ “ By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com

Marysville’s preliminary budget for 2019 and 2020 includes funding for the First Street bypass, a new public safety building, four new police officers and some recreation projects. City officials held their first of two budget hearings for the city’s next biennial budget during the Nov. 13 Marysville City Council Meeting. The Marysville City Council still has to approve the budget and may take action to approve or reject it after the second public hearing on Nov. 26, at 7 p.m., at Marysville City Hall, 1049 State Ave., Marysville. There are not many changes to the tax base from previous years, said Sandy Langdon, finance director for the city of Marysville. The biggest is the levy of $0.50 per $1,000 assessed property value that was voter approved and will fund a new public safety building and jail. Property tax will make up 34 percent of the revenue, “with sales tax in second at 28 percent and then our business taxes at 14 percent, with service charges also around the 14 percent level,” said Langdon. The preliminary budget for the next two years totals $351 million. About 70 percent of the budget is water, sewer and garbage services, which is not funding that the city can change much, said Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring. That leaves $108 million for the city’s general fund. “That’s where staff and council really can dig in and see where we want to spend the money,” said Nehring. City staff try and ask the individual city departments and the public where they want that money spent.

“Our departments will put in requests and we’ll review them and take some out and leave some in, but really what drives this is the public, or at least our interpretation of what the public wants,” said Nehring. About 2/3rds of that general fund is spent on public safety, including police, fire, EMS and the court system. “Our citizens’ first priority, and this is probably nationwide, is public safety,” said Nehring, so he said the city should put a lot of it’s budget into public safety. The city’s new public safety building is the biggest capital project that is part of the preliminary budget. Included in the police department budget is room to hire two new police officers in 2019 and another two in 2020. The proposed budget also continues the embedded social worker program which partners a social worker with a local police officer to directly go out and help those with addiction problems get help. “If they’re willing to come in, we will get them help with temporary housing and other services,” said Nehring. “If they’re not willing to get help with the social worker than the police will then go in and arrest." After public safety about $37 million is left in the proposed biennial budget for other projects including “streets, parks, engineering and all the great events that the city puts on,” said Nehring. Transportation projects take up a lot of money in the budget. The upcoming I-5/SR529 interchange which will provide a new way into the downtown area. That project was funded by the Washington state transportation package from 2015 and is meant to

Recreation projects are

the next biggest chunk of the budget, and grant funds combined with city funds are scheduled for a variety of projects in the proposed budget, including building

out Olympic View Park, extending Ebey Waterfront Trail and extending Bayview Trail to connect it with Centennial Trail, said Nehring.

talking about my experience in the war, and I’ve accomplished a lot because of it, but never did I think I would get to do something like this,” said Unruh. Unruh was chosen to raise the flag because of his harrowing tales of the war. “First of all, what he’s been through during World War II was just amazing,” said Mike Flood, vice president of community outreach with the Seattle Seahawks. “The fans loved the imagery and the account of Art’s military history,” said Flood, who added that the picture of his shot up plane during his last mission was incredible. “That plane was barely able to fly and to have that on his 50th mission, his final mission for his service,” said Flood. The Seahawks fans showed a lot of respect to Unruh, said Flood. “At the end of the game when he left the suite there were a number of fans lined up and they all cheered for Art as he was leaving,” he said. “Art was so engaging with the fans all throughout the day and night." Unruh is used to sharing his story as he serves as a docent at Paul Allen’s Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum and has spoken at numerous classrooms. “I’ve been very fortunate to be able to go out to schools and talk to school kids,” he said. The November game was the Seahawks’ annual ‘Salute to Service.’

Arlington veteran Arthur “Art” Unruh raises the 12 Flag before the Nov. 15 game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Green Bay Packers. “We always want to make sure that the fans are understanding the history of our military, both current and past,” said Flood. As part of that, the flag raiser typically gets to come out and meet the Seahawks players during their Tuesday practice before the game. “The team isn’t going to get the whole picture of the veteran,” because they have the game in front of them, said Flood, which is why they invite the flag raiser to a practice. “He was a real inspiration to the players and coaches,” said Flood. Unruh said he enjoyed meeting all the Seahawks. “I got to shake hands with all the players and talk with Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson,” said Unruh. “They all thanked me for my service and each and every one of the players took their time to shake my hand,” he said.

Unruh said he was surprised at the size of the players as well. “I’ll tell you that they’re big boys, too. I’m six foot and I’m used to looking down on most people, but all these guys had me raising my head,” he said. During the game day Unruh was also surprised at the size of the stadium. “That is one heck of a big place and we were all over it. It was like a mini-city in there,” he said. Unruh joined other veterans in one of the stadium’s suites to view the game. “To get up in the lounge where we watched the game was great,” he said. Flood said that Unruh was the oldest veteran there and all the current service members enjoyed meeting him. “They said that the best part of their day, even more than going out on the field, was getting to talk to Art,” he said.

n SECRETS OF THE TULALIP CHEFS

Halibut, Lobster, Orecchiette Pasta & Apricot Salad One of my favorite types of cuisine is Italian. In this recipe, I am going to share a few of my favorite dish combinations. For starters, we are going to talk about buying fresh whole fish. There are many questions as to how to buy whole fish, so I thought it would be helpful for me to share what I do. First off, I start by looking for a whole fish that has bright, clear eyes and good color. It should smell like fresh water or the ocean. After I make my selection, I ask the local fishmonger to fillet it for me. Once I have purchased my fish, I like to cook and eat it within one

Chef Jeremy Taisey Tulalip Resort Casino or two days maximum. Now comes the fun part! I love sharing these two fast and simple recipes - gremolata and soffritto. They sound complicated, but they are very easy to prepare. Gremolata is an Italian

garnish made with fresh ingredients and is prepared by using a blender. It consists of minced parsley or cilantro, lemon peel and garlic. It's used in dishes to add a fresh, bright flavor. I like to use the gremolata when I cook because it adds a light hint of flavor and it doesn’t overpower the fresh halibut. Italian soffritto is typically made with diced onion, celery, bell pepper and tomato that is lightly sautéed with olive oil. It is typically used to flavor soups and sauces, but it also goes well as a side with just about any dish. I hope you have fun preparing and enjoying these recipes as much as I do. Enjoy!

Halibut, Lobster, Orecchiette Pasta and Apricot Salad by Chef Jeremy Taisey. 10 garlic cloves, minced 1/4 cup red bell pepper, small dice - 1/8 inch pieces 1/4 cup tomato, small dice 1/2 cup cooked lobster meat, large diced (you can substitute cooked lump crab meat) 1/8 cup pancetta, small dice 1/2 cup butter 1/4 cup olive oil 1/2 pound blanched peas 8 ounces orecchiette pasta, uncooked Black pepper to taste Place a sauté pan on medium heat until warm. Add butter and olive oil, cooking until the butter melts. Turn to low heat and sauté the onions and garlic until lightly browned. Add the pancetta and continue cooking on low heat for 2 additional minutes. Add the bell pepper and diced tomatoes and cook until the peppers are tender. Remove from heat and reserve for later. Making the pasta Take a large stockpot and fill it with 1 gallon of water. Bring the water to a rolling boil and add 3 tablespoons of salt just before the pasta goes into the water. Add the

orecchiette pasta and cook for 8 minutes or until al dente. Finishing the soffritto Combine the pasta and reserved sautéed mixture. Making the apricot salad 2 fresh apricots, pitted and sliced 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 handful pea sprouts Cooking the halibut While the pasta is cooking, season the halibut with salt and pepper and grill for 5 to 10 minutes depending on your preferred doneness (making sure that both the grill and the fish are well oiled). I recommend cooking the halibut to an internal temp of 129 F. Halibut becomes dry when cooked well done. While the halibut is cooking, combine the ingredients for the apricot salad in a bowl and reserve. Plating and serving: While the halibut is cooking, heat up the soffritto and add the peas and diced lobster. Spread the finished soffritto on the plate and place the halibut on top. Spread a bit more cilantro gremolata onto the halibut. Finish by adding

the apricot salad and toasted walnuts on top.

n BEING FRANK

Tribes release habitat recovery strategy

“As the salmon disappear, so do our cultures and treaty rights. We are at a crossroads and we are running out of time.” These words of the late tribal leader Billy Frank Jr. become more urgent every day. Despite massive harvest cuts, careful use of hatcheries and a large investment in fixing salmon habitat over the past 40 years, salmon populations continue to decline as their habitat disappears faster than it can be fixed. That’s why the treaty Indian tribes in western Washington have developed a strategy for identifying and protecting the lands, waters and natural processes that are central to our rights, resources and homelands. The effort is called gwadzadad (pronounced gwa-zah-did) in the Lushootseed language. It translates to “Teaching of our Ancestors” and reflects the reality that our beliefs and teachings are learned from our homelands and can’t be separated from tribal cultures and heritage or any of our actions today. It is a unified tribal habitat strategy designed to organize and focus work around key habitats and shared goals necessary to protect tribal treaty rights and resources. It aims to preserve and restore the natural functions and connectivity of our river, marine and upland ecosystems, and to seek accountability for decisions on the use of our lands and waters. The effort is based on what we know is actually needed to achieve ecosystem health, not what we think is possible to achieve given current habitat conditions. It is not a retreat to the past, but a long-term vision for a future with healthy resources for everyone.

Lorraine Loomis gwadzadad calls for coordination and accountability across tribal, local, state and federal governments. It will require transparent accounting of habitat conditions, resource allocations and how we are managing habitat for salmon and other treaty-protected resources. A science-based accounting system will measure the difference between current conditions and what is needed to fix the declining productivity of fish, shellfish, plants and wildlife. Climate change and population growth are already impacting our region and creating an urgency impossible to measure. We must work harder today to address the habitat loss and damage these changes bring. We are not starting from scratch with gwadzadad. It builds on two other important tribal initiatives from the past decade. The first is the Treaty Rights at Risk initiative begun in 2011. It calls for the federal government to meet its obligation to uphold treaty rights and achieve salmon recovery through better coordination of agencies and programs. The federal government has both the authority and responsibility to protect treaty tribal rights and resources. And as the tribal victory in the U.S. Supreme Court on the culvert case in June showed, the state of Wash-

ington shares the obligation to protect our treaty-reserved resources. The second is the State of Our Watersheds, a comprehensive report on the ongoing and increasing loss of habitat for salmon and other treaty-protected resources. The report, first issued in 2012 and updated regularly, proved the fact that we are losing habitat faster than we are restoring it. The State of Our Watersheds Report is considered by many state agencies to be the most authoritative source on the status of our watersheds and key impediments to their health. If we are going to recover salmon, we will have to do it together. That is why we are also building a coalition of sport and commercial fishermen, conservation groups and others to collaborate on solving our shared concerns about the future of salmon. The decline of salmon and their habitat and the damage to our ecosystems hasn’t happened overnight. It took more than a century of poor logging practices, development in river floodplains, polluted stormwater runoff, unregulated agriculture and many other factors to get us where we are today. It takes a long view to solve century-old problems, and that’s what gwadzadad does. It offers a long-term, multigenerational approach that can help us achieve the future we want for ourselves and create accountability for the decisions we are making today for those who will come after us. You can download a copy of gwadzadad at nwtreatytribes. org/habitatstrategy/ Lorraine Loomis is the Chair of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission.

Arlington Rotary members help with Portage Creek restoration project This September Arlington Rotary volunteers assembled on the bank of Portage Creek, one of two main fish bearing creeks passing through the Old Town Arlington area, and completed stream restoration projects along a 165foot reach of the creek. Eleven Rotarians and guest volunteers showed up for this service project and worked for approximately four hours. The restoration work along this reach of Portage Creek entailed removal of non-native vegetation, litter clean up, and removal of two encampments. It was a typical Northwest fall day mixed with some rain and overcast skies, however, neither the rain nor overcast skies deterred the Rotarians. Though the event was not scheduled to start until 10 a.m., several Rotarians showed up early, set up tents and cooked bacon and egg sandwiches as an energy source before starting the day’s work. After removing approximately 8,025 pounds of debris and vegetation, Rotarians showed back up to the tents a bit wet and cold to find grilled cheese sandwiches and hot tomato soup. The Rotarians removal of non-native plants didn’t just include cutting down the plants, the root system was dug out and removed. Non-native plants, or Invasive species, are defined as species that are alien or exotic to a particular ecosystem and whose introduction causes harm to the environment. Native plants are the plants that existed in this area of Washington before 1860, the year of the arrival of the settlers

It is with great sadness that the family of Eugene Dante Palmisano, of Arlington, WA announces his passing on M o n d a y, November 12, 2018, at the age of 79, while being treated for kidney disease and persevering through treatments for the past six years. Dante was born on April 21, 1939 in Wakefield, R.I. to Ella (Fortune) Cofone and Eugene Palmisano. He attended Westerly Public Schools. Dante served in the US Army stationed in Germany and for many years resided in the Boston area prior to settling in Arlington, WA. Dante had a passion for food and loved to cook. In addition to cooking for his family, he prepared weekly meals for his church. He was known for his quick wit and was full of life with the vibrant stories he shared. A memorial service will be held in Arlington, WA, followed by a celebration of his life in Westerly at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent in his memory to Life Church 360 where he developed many friendships. Donations can be sent to: Life Church 360, 3131 Smokey Point Dr., Suite 1B Arlington, WA 98223.

Betty Louise Aylesworth died at age 94 on Thursday, October 25, 2018, surrounded by members of her beloved family, at Cascade Valley Hospital in Arlington, Washington. Betty was born June 22, 1924, in Everett Washington to Al and Signe Garka. She attended Edgecomb and Arlington schools and graduated from Arlington High School in 1941. On July 5, 1942, she married the love of her life, Cecil Edgar Aylesworth, in her parent's home in Edgecomb. They happily lived out their married life in the home Ed and her father built. Throughout her life, Betty was very active in the Arlington United Church and volunteered at the Arlington Well Child Clinic and Arlington Food Bank. In retirement, both Betty and Ed enjoyed delivering flower arrangements for Flowers By George and worked with the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneers to build and operate the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum. Betty was a devoted loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She was always there!.

It is absolutely magical to me and I have hesitated to rake up the remaining drifts, not wanting the magic to end. I am thankful for the “drama queens” in my garden, i.e. my hardy bananas, taros, and papyrus. These herbaceous perennials need lots of heat to be at their

peak and they were magnificent this year. Alas, at this point of time they have been relegated to the compost pile, but the anticipation of next year will easily carry me through the winter. Finally, as I reflect on a recent birthday, I think one of the things I am most thankful for is that I still have the strength and ability to work and play in my garden. Whether it is mowing the grass,

picking a fresh tomato, cutting a bouquet of flowers, experiencing a serendipitous combination of plantings, weeding, watering, or raking, it is all still wonderful and gratifying. I hope it is the same for all of you. Happy Thanksgiving! Steve Smith is the owner of Sunnyside Nursery in Marysville, WA and can be reached at info@sunnysidenursery.net.
