Before there was a mill, there was a place called Teekalet

PORT GAMBLE — Emotionally, the moment was impactful. Representatives of the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe and Pope Resources stood on the old mill site on July 23 to bless the beginning of the final cleanup of the site and the nearshore. And then, an ancestral song was sung and the S’Klallam language was spoken, here at this place the grandparents’ grandparents knew as Teekalet. And what was past was made present. “For me, it was a breath of fresh air,” Port Gamble S’Klallam Chairman Jeromy Sullivan recalled on Jan. 25. “Most people in my generation have learned more about where we were, and how we ended up on the reservation side [of the bay]. We’ve learned about the Port Gamble mill site.

OULSBO — Students in the Poulsbo Elementary School gymnasium roared ecstatically as members of the Seattle Mariners D.R.E.A.M. Team — led by the Mariner Moose — arrived to talk about Drugfree, Respect, Education, Attitude, and Motivation, Jan. 26. Mariners pitchers Steve Cishek and Charlie Furbush, sportscaster Aaron Goldsmith, and team community programs manager Sean Grindley encouraged kids to D.R.E.A.M. always. The kids learned the elements of D.R.E.A.M., watched a film, and received Mariners memorabilia. But the real showstopper was the Mariner Moose, the team’s mascot. As the Moose danced around the gym, students, parents and teachers giggled and cheered. “They loved the Moose. They were pretty fired up about him,” Poulsbo Elementary School gym teacher Bob Webb said. Webb reached out to the Mariners D.R.E.A.M. Team a few months ago in hopes of arranging a surprise visit for the school. “Seven or eight years ago, they came out to Breidablik, but it took a long time

The Mariner Moose is greeted by fans at Poulsbo Elementary School, Jan. 26. The Moose and members of the Seattle Mariners D.R.E.A.M. Team visited the school to talk to students about the importance of Drug-free, Respect, Education, Attitude, and Motivation. Sophie Bonomi / Herald to get them. This time was on the first try,” Webb said. He said the D.R.E.A.M. Team was visiting a school in Port Angeles as well, so it may have been easier for them to make the stop. “[When I wrote them], I told them how this is a baseball community … that we have Snider Park and how the kids love the baseball unit at our school,” Webb said. “Our school motto this year is, ‘Together We Are Powerful.’ I think the D.R.E.A.M. Team message dovetails our motto.” As Grindley addressed the young audience, he asked them, “What are

your dreams?” Hands in the crowd shot up as answers funneled in — dancer, engineer, pop star. Grindley pointed to Cishek and Furbush, saying those guys wanted to be baseball players but they had to D.R.E.A.M. to do it. Members of the D.R.E.A.M. Team took turns explaining the fundamentals of the program. Furbush, whose fast pitch, according to Grindley, has been clocked at 93 See D.R.E.A.M., Page A7

POULSBO — More than six months after he cut down several curbside trees in front of his auto dealership on Viking Avenue, Darrin Hudson has filed with the city a landscape plan he says will “look nicer and more eye appealing.” Hudson is working with Robin Richie of Madrona Point Landscaping to fix a broken sprinkler system and plant what he calls a low-maintenance but good-looking landscape: grass, colorful flowers in pots, and trees irrigated from a well on the Hudson Auto Center See TREES, Page A7
