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.

From Trish Carey
I want to congratulate these kiddos for playing hard and taking second place
in the dodgeball tournament recently. Ebyn (Jackson), Miakoda (Scott), Tre
(Jackson) and Lexi (Christensen)– you guys are awesome. I’m proud of each of
you! Keep up the good work.
To my daughter Miakoda – you make me proud every day I watch you partici-
pate in sports. There isn’t a sport out there you won’t try, even if it means playing
with the boys! 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.

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

Ingredients:
Plant a garden
Ride a bike

Walk on the beach

1.
Preheat oven to 400. In a large skillet, cook

Italian seasoning. Bring mixture to a boil,

mozzarella cheese over the mixture. Pour
popover topping (step #2 mixture) evenly
over the meat mixture. Make sure to
completely cover the mixture. Then sprinkle
with parmesan cheese.
4.
Bake uncovered 30-35 minutes, or until
topping is puffed and golden brown.
