DePoe referees all-Native championship game Suzanne DePoe tosses and referees the 1B Boy’s WIAA State Champion- ship game on March 7 at the Spokane Arena. This championship game was special – was all-Native with a Native referee tossing to start the game. Teams were Lummi Nation vs. Neah Bay, both teams from the west side of the mountains, Lummi from the Lummi Indian Reservation just west of Bellingham and Neah Bay from the Makah Indian Reservation in the farthest northwest corner of Wash- ington state. Great game with a final score of Lummi Nation 54, Neah Bay 33. I got to share the game with my daughter, Dawn DePoe-Ike; her hus- band, Matthew Ike; and my three grand- children, Madelyn, Nathan and Nolan, watching me on TV and many more.

You’re awesome sauce every day from the minute you wake up to the minute you go to bed. Love you! I would just like to take the time to thank those who participated in our Siletz Dodgeball Tournament on March 28. Thanks to the Siletz Behavioral Health Program, Siletz Tribal Housing and the Partnership Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse for sponsoring this event. There was a lot of support from the community. Dodgeball games were more than fun for everyone who participated and I was happy to see all ages engage. The bouncy houses kept the little ones occupied. Hot dogs tasted like hot dogs – thanks Chris for cooking. I’d like to thank Rick for helping out and being there at 6:30 a.m. to help us set up shop. Also thank the DeAnda family for providing the tunes. I look forward to future activities for our community. Rusty Butler HOW MUCH SUGAR ARE YOU REALLY CONSUMING? We all crave something sweet to eat once in a while, which is fine, in moderation. But what about when we drink sugary drinks day in and day out (soda, juice, sports drinks, energy drinks, flavored coffee, etc.) on top of eating something sweet? Spring is upon us, one of the most enjoyable times of year: the sun is shining, the rain is flowing, and the flowers are blooming. If you find yourself stuck inside and not knowing what to do, check out these ideas: Sugar drinks are the single-largest source of calories in the American diet, or about 7% of total calories per person. Sugar drinks account for nearly 50% of all added sugars in the American Diet. In 2006, soda, energy drinks, and sports drinks were the top source for calories in teens’ diets. Drinking one or two sugary drinks per day increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 26%. After six months, daily consumption of sugary drinks increases fat deposits in the liver by 150%, which is directly linked to both diabetes and heart disease. If you are among those that drink one sugary drink per day, and need help thinking of ways to consume less, here are some things you may want to try: Drink sparkling water with lemon or fruit infused in it- this will give you that sweetness and carbonation you may be craving from soda Water down your fruit juices- this will help cut down the amount of sugar you are consuming Make flavored ice cubes- freeze fruit in water, or use 100% juice for the cubes Popover Pizza Casserole Ingredients: Plant a garden Ride a bike go on a hike Walk on the beach Have a picnic at the park go strawberry picking 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey Directions: 2 C sliced fresh mushrooms 1.
