Weekday
planting with Sound Salmon Solutions!  

 

Looking
for regular, weekday chances to get outdoors and contribute to salmon recovery?
Join Sound Salmon Solutions staff and other volunteers in planting native trees
and shrubs at any of several restoration sites, including near Arlington,
Granite Falls, and Marysville! Spend a day, or two, or more, directly
contributing to improved stream and wetland wildlife habitat, while learning
about native plant identification, natural, and local history.

weather. Rainboots/sturdy shoes recommended.

 

2/18 Qwuloolt Estuary Tree Planting, Marysville, WA

 

Help
us continue our efforts at this nationally-recognized estuarine restoration
site! Sound Salmon Solutions is pleased to host this tree planting event on our
Qwuloolt Marsh site, continuing work that kicked off during last year’s Days of
Caring with Snohomish County. Volunteers will learn about estuarine ecosystems,
especially the Qwuloolt Marsh’s significance as one of the last remaining
estuaries on the Snohomish River. Trees planted will help improve this
estuarine ecosystem for salmon, repopulate the site with native vegetation and
give shade.

Please
bring a sack lunch and water bottle. Wear warm clothes and dress for the
weather. Rainboots/sturdy shoes recommended.

 

2/25 Plant Potting Party!, Sound Salmon Solutions offices, Lake Stevens, WA

 

These
bare-root native plants need a place to live! We’ll be transferring bare-root
plants into their own pots, for use at future planting events. Come visit us at
our new Lake Stevens location and help us pot these plants! You’ll have a
beautiful view of Lake Stevens, and learn about native species, their preferred
growing conditions, and some tips on native plant horticulture.

Bring a sack lunch and water bottle. Wear
warm clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and dress for the weather. We will be
working outdoors.

3/17 Country Charm Park and Conservation Area Tree Planting, Arlington, WA

 

Pearl
Jam wants to put trees back into the Stillaguamish watershed, and you can help!
Meet at the Country Charm Park and Conservation area in Arlington, WA to help
plant native trees and shrubs that will provide shade and nutrients for salmon.
Country Charm is always a popular place to work and play! You will be able to
view the site, see what progress we’ve made over the years, and then contribute
your own plants to that progress! We will be joined by representatives from the
City of Arlington, and other partners.

Please
bring a sack lunch and water bottle. Wear warm clothes and dress for the
weather. Rainboots/sturdy shoes recommended.

and help monitor native vegetation planted by SSS in 2009.

“Chef’s Tour of the World”

Tulalip Resort & Casino

Made of Grains tasting menu. 

 
 
Chef Dean Shinagawa and his culinary

team have orchestrated a highly

creative and

incredibly delectable five-course

dinner, paired with grain-style

cocktails and libations, creating the

ultimate dining experience.

 

 

Course 1

POTATO
CRUSTED ALASKAN HALIBUT

Sweet Corn
Turmeric Puree, Moroccan Cous Cous, Spinach, Vine Tomato Relish

 

Ketel One Vodka
“Lemon Mojito”

Muddled with
Cilantro, Mint, Simple Syrup and Club Soda

The wheat's
high starch content makes it ideal for Ketel One Vodka production. Once
harvested, it is ground and blended with water to form a
mash, then allowed to ferment. After fermentation, the mash goes through the
column distillation process.

This produces a
fresh, crisp ultra wheat spirit

 

Course 2

 

APPLEWOOD GRILLED
OCTOPUS

Wild Rice Lentil
Salad, Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette, Crispy Taro

 

Bombay Saffire
“Gin and Juice”

Triple Sec,
Orange and Pineapple Juice

The flavouring
of the drink comes from a recipe of ten ingredients (which the bottle's label
boasts as "10 exotic botanicals"):

almond, lemon peel, liquorice, juniper berries, orris root, angelica, coriander, cassia, cubeb, and grains of
paradise.

The spirit is
triple distilled using a carterhead still, and the alcohol vapours are passed
through

a mesh/basket
containing the ten botanicals, in order to gain flavour and aroma.

 

Course 3

OVEN ROASTED
ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE

Warm Barley Herb
Ragu, Goat Cheese Crumble, Kale Chips

 

Blue Moon Draft

Blue Moon
Belgian Style Wheat Ale, Unfiltered for more depth of flavor and a unique
cloudy appearance.

Made of white
wheat, oats, coriander and orange peel. Light spicy citrus flavors go well with
chicken, seafood and pork

 

Course 4

SLOW BRAISED BEEF
BRISKET

Red Quinoa, Buckwheat Soba Noodles, Asparagus, Portobello Mushroom Broth, Carrot Curls

 

Johnny Walker
Red Whisky “Cocktail”

Sweet Vermouth,
Dash of Bitters

The character
of this whisky is defined by intense, spicy, zingy, edgy flavors.

 Red Label
bursts onto the palate with the freshness of the spray from a crashing wave,
followed by the zing of

Aromatic spices
and finally a long, lingering, smoky finish. The sensation in the mouth is
complex – ”sweet chili” is

a good
description of this taste and the tingling sensation on the tongue.

 

Course 5

GREEK YOGURT SPHERES

Tulalip Granola, Fresh Berries

 

 

Drambuie
“Finisher”

Fresh Lime
Juice, Club Soda, Lime Zest Sugar Rim

A honey and
herb flavored golden Scotch whisky made from aged malt whisky, heather honey
and a secret blend of herbs and spices

 This five-course dinner is offered
at $40 per person, and can be accompanied by cocktail pairings for an
additional $20, plus tax.  The “Chef’s Tour of the World” is available
January 25th through February 26th, from 5 – 10 pm on Wednesday, Thursday and
Sunday; and 5 – 11pm Friday and Saturday.   For reservations and more
information, call 360-716-1500.  Attached is a menu for your viewing
pleasure. We look forward to seeing you.

Dear

Friends of  Tulalip:

 

On behalf of the Tulalip Boys and Girls Club, and the 2,000 kids they serve
annually, I’m writing to ask your support for our spring 14^th Annual
Auction.  While Tulalip contributes more
than $550,000 a year in club support we also need your help to keep this
facility in operation – 2012 will be tough for many families.

 

As a business partner in this economy I realize that donations are difficult, so
we are asking you in advance to set aside a commitment from next year’s
budget.  Our attached 2012 pledge form presents options for being a sponsor in our June 2^th Tulalip Resort Auction.

 

Since 1977, the Tulalip Boys and Girls Club has given kids a safe place to learn,
discover and make friends.  As a home away from home, the club serves snacks and 200 hot meals daily to hungry kids; a Learning Center augments school education with reading development, math skills, early literacy programs and health education; and additional programs
provide self-esteem building and teach homework and other student success
skills.  And all of this takes place in an atmosphere of fun and fitness that has become the quality trademark of Boys and Girls Clubs across America.  For more information, please contact Terry
Freeman at the  Boys and Girls Club directly – 425-258-2436 x 103 or terryfreeman@bgcsc.org .

 

Our Tribal trademark, the Orca Whale, stands for support to families and kids in
troubled times.  I’ve attached one story by Della Hill, a Tulalip Elder, which represents our philosophy.  Together let us continue the Boys and Girls Club mission “to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

 

We really thank you,

Kenneth
Kettler

President/COO

PUD Customers’ Solar Energy

Output Hits One Megawatt

 

Everett, WA – Customers of Snohomish County Public Utility
District have hit an energy milestone: their combined solar energy production
now stands at one megawatt, double their solar energy output of two years ago.
More than 200 PUD customers now cover part of their electricity needs through
their own renewable energy, including rooftop solar units.

 

The bulk of the small-scale solar energy production comes
from customers participating in the PUD’s SolarTh
Express program, which offers financial incentives and technical assistance
for solar photovoltaic and solar hot water systems.

 

“We’ve seen very strong interest in solar from both
residential customers and businesses,” said PUD Energy Efficiency Program
Manager Jessica Mitchell. “We can help customers identify models so projects
pencil out and they can manage their energy future in a profitable manner.”

 

For the PUD, which serves a rapidly growing area,
customer-generated solar energy is a wise investment as it reduces the utility’s need to purchase new energy. Renewable energy projects, such as rooftop solar units, also help customers reduce their environmental impact and utility bills.

 

“We’ve liked using less energy from traditional sources by
getting our energy from the sun,” said Don Davis, a Solar Express participant on Camano Island. “The PUD makes the
financing and installation process easy.”

 

Solar Express
Incentives/Loans:

Residential customers can qualify for up to $2,500 for solar
photovoltaic systems and commercial customers can qualify for up to $10,000.
All customers with electric hot water systems can qualify for a $500 incentive
for solar hot water systems. Residential customers may instead opt for a 2.9% APR
loan up to $25,000 for photovoltaic panels and up to $14,000 for solar hot water systems. Customers also may qualify for additional federal tax credits and state production incentives.

 

Solar Express is
one of the ways the PUD is promoting clean, locally-generated renewable
resources. For more information, including qualifications, call the PUD Energy
Hotline at 425-783-1700 or visit www.snopud.com/solarexpress.
