STANWOOD — After more than half a century, a lost piece of the Stillaguamish Tribe’s history finally made its way back home Oct. 27. During an estate sale in 1992, Penny Buse and her husband bought a shovelnose dugout wooden canoe, which they planned to display at the D.O. Pearson House Museum in Stanwood.

Buse, a member of the museum board, was curious as to the canoe’s origins, so she consulted with the Burke Museum in Seattle. Buse learned the canoe was between 120-130 years old, and had been stolen from the Stillaguamish River in Arlington in the 1960s. “I had never been sure whether the initial story we were told about it was correct,” said Buse, who’d been told the canoe had been abandoned in the river in

Knight Chuck Davenport time. “So as long as they win their your favorite?” asked knight Kyle Robinson. Lee Kessler, who has been with the Knights all of their 22 years, was a marshal, similar to a judge. He said he’s done “the whole shabang” in that time, but can’t fight now because he broke a leg in July. He said normally the SEE KNIGHT, PAGE 2

the 1970s. “But I was horrified to hear it had been stolen. Of course, as I talked about with Tracey, the irony is, if it hadn’t been stolen, it probably wouldn’t have survived.” “Tracey” is Tracey Boser, an archive specialist for the Stillaguamish Tribe, whom Buse contacted after learning the canoe’s true origins. “We’re so grateful to Penny,” Boser said, adding

ARLINGTON – If you’re a princess looking for a knight in shining armor this Halloween, you need to look no farther than Arlington. The Seattle Knights were here last weekend and will be coming again Nov. 28. You don’t have to go all the way to Excalibur in Las Vegas to see such a dinner show. Customers can eat a buffet while watching knights joust on horses and fight hand-to-hand combat using swords and axes. Tina and Mary Browmseerger of Marysville attended the recent show to celebrate their 20-year anniversary. “I’ve always wanted to see it,” Mary said of the Knights performance. Children June Thompson and Ford Kaluf of Seattle were excited to see the show again after watching them perform a few months ago at a Renaissance Fair. They’d already picked out a winner, the same one who won last

MARYSVILLE — The one-year anniversary of the MarysvillePilchuck shooting was marked with a Walk of Strength Oct. 24, with hundreds participating, including Nate Hatch, the lone victim to survive. Leaders offered thoughts, while those working with trauma victims pointed to concrete steps that had been taken toward recovery. Marysville schools superin-

tendent Becky Berg noted that staff have been trained to recognize signs of mental illness, while Tulalip Tribal Chairman Mel Sheldon Jr. cited the tribal meetings to give a voice to those who are hurting. Sheldon said: “After a tragedy like this, people will ask why it happened, and a lot of times, we simply don’t have an answer for them. We know it takes time, but we want to feel better right away. You need to be patient, with our-

selves and each other.” Rochelle Lubbers, recovery manager for the Tulalip Tribes, has made it her mission to identify the areas of the community where trauma persists. She’s even received the aid of international trauma centers in assessing the community’s needs. Josh Webb, director of counseling for Marysville schools, added: “These are the best kids in the world. They’re my heroes. They want to keep coming to school.”
