“ Time of Returning”

3sXeXa?L “It’s All Written Down”

Interview with Marie GouleyShe was a young single mother and she found herself heading to Pullman, Washington to attend Washington State University. This was an adventure that she never planned on, but she was looking forward to the opportunity to enter college and make a better future for herself and her two young daughters. Lea and Tracy were going to fi nd themselves in a totally new environment, having only known the Skokomish Reservation, where their family and friends all lived. Marie started out with the idea of majoring in journalism, that sounded like a good profession to be in. Just like so many, she pursued her initial idea, but over time she changed her mind and began studying to become an anthropologist. Her friend, Ricky Hoff , had suggested this and she soon found herself enjoying the new focus of her studies. She spent part of her pursuit of anthropology working with Dale Crowes on a large archeological dig site, on the Hoko River. This is in the traditional homelands of the Makah people and Marie found it exciting to be involved in processing and digging a historic site, especially of local native people. It wasn’t glamorous, you got dirty but it brought a feeling of fulfi lment that Marie really enjoyed being involved in. From dropping out of High School, getting married, and having a baby before she would have graduated, here she was graduating from Washington State University with a degree in anthropology.Marie Gouley was born in Shelton, WA to Alex and Grace Gouley. Being one of 10 children, she always had someone to play with, do chores with and go to school with. She remembers living down the river road, next to her Grandma Nancy Peterson Sherwood,

Louisa Pulsifer, Emily Miller and a few others. Like the rest of her siblings, she heard the elders speaking “Indian” but they would never teach the younger generation. Sadly, the feeling was that our language wouldn’t be of help them as they were going to school and learning the ways of the dominant society. Lower Skokomish Valley School was where her mother worked, and they would go to visit her, on the job, at school before they were young enough to start Kindergarten. So when she started going to school it was a familiar place to her and she really enjoyed being there. Marie remembers her teachers: Mrs. McGee, Ms. Dickinson, Mr. Mc Manus and Mr. Crumb. Her friends and playmates were, to name a few, Nancy Young, Peggy Teo, Marguerite Johns, Gary Peterson, Bill Smith, Bruce Miller, Cooney Johns, Dick Adams and many more, of course. She was part of the original eighth grade class when the Hood Canal School opened. She then went on to Shelton High School where one of her good friends was Kathy Waters who would later marry Gus Twiddy. Her sisters, Carol and Lila were ahead of her.

During High School Marie fell in love with Guy Miller and she found herself pregnant with their child. She and Guy got married and soon they had a baby girl, who they named Lea. A couple of years later they had another daughter, Tracy. Marie and Guy divorced, after Tracy was born, and so she went to South Puget Sound college and earned her GED. She started working for the State of Washington, Department of Corrections, then she moved to another job at the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. She had been hired there by Bill Smith and after a while he helped her fi gure out how she could get funding to attend college, and that’s when she decided to attend Washington State University (WSU).After Marie graduated, from WSU in 1981, she came back home to put her archeology degree to good use. Unfortunately, there weren’t many places which off ered her the opportunity to do so. She didn’t want to leave again so she started working at the Southern Puget Sound Inter-Tribal Housing Authority, at the Squaxin Island Tribe. She worked there for several years learning from Les Rutledge.In 1987 Marie applied for and was

hired, by the Skokomish Tribe, as the Tribal Health Authority Director. Her anthropology degree was opening a new door for her, now working for her own tribe. At the time the Skokomish Tribal Health Clinic was located in a mobile home next to the Tribal Center. So few direct services could be provided to clients and they were referred out to specialists, when needed. So Marie worked with Ed Binder, who wrote grants to acquire more goods and services for the Tribe. Ed was successful in getting a grant to build a new building for the Health Clinic, and the Tribe provided a large part of the funding to match the grant requirements. Marie was involved with the selection of the Contractor, who then built the clinic. She oversaw the expansion of many services, by the Health Authority, for the Skokomish Tribal Community. More providers could be hired and housed under one roof to better service all of the clinic’s clients. Diabetes care, expanded dental care, and other services were now available. Marie saw to it that Skokomish Tribal Elders were made a priority and services for them were greatly enhanced, even coordinating the Tribal Elder’s Picnic every year. She served for 19 years as the Tribal Health Director, expanding funding opportunities as well. She didn’t do it by herself, she had many professional and dedicated staff to make this all happen. She even put in an exercise facility, with treadmills and rowing machines, etc., to help tribal members become healthier by keeping themselves in better shape. This also meant providing more job opportunities within the tribal clinic too. Marie is now retired but still active

within the Community, as this is where her family, two daughters, six grandchildren and eight grandchildren live. A couple of years ago Marie took her first trip to Alaska to visit her old college friend, Ricky Hoff and his family. She loved seeing Alaska in the Summer, and the beauty that surrounds all who live there. One day she’d like to go back and maybe venture up to Fairbanks to see more of what Alaska has to offer. She’s also vacationed in Hawaii, Arizona as well as other parts of Washington, over the years with her family. One of her grandsons lives in Phoenix and she’s visited him, and enjoyed seeing Arizona. He recently said that she needs to come and stay with him during the Winter and become

a snow bird. Traveling is something she’d like to do more of, given the chance, maybe even going to Europe. Recently her granddaughter Lexi, and her niece Molly, moved to Kansas to attend Haskell Indian college, so there’s another trip she’d like to make.But for now, Marie is happy to look back and see all of the changes that the Skokomish Tribe, and Reservation have come through and helped to make life better for her grandchildren and great grandchildren. While the Covid shut-down was hard, not being able to visit with her family as much, it gave her more time to pursue one of the favorite pastimes, which is reading. She’s read a good many books over the years and is always looking for the next good read. By Tony Herrera

1 Your FASA IDBegin with creating an FSA ID, which is your account username and password. The FSA ID is a digital legal signature that lets you complete and update the FAFSA form, so create your own and keep it safe. Parents of dependent students will need to use their own FSA ID to complete the FAFSA process. We recommend creating your account early—even before you’re ready to complete the FAFSA form. For step-by-step instructions, watch bit.ly/skokfafsa. Remember: Do NOT create an FSA ID on someone else’s behalf. This includes parents. A parent should not create an FSA ID for their children and a student should not create an FSA ID for his or her parents. It may cause issues signing and submitting the FAFSA form and lead to financial aid delays. (Also, it’s against the rules.)

2 Your Social Security NumberYou can find your Social Security number (SSN) on your Social Security card. If you don’t have access to it, or you don’t know where it is, you can request a new or replacement card from the Social Security Administration.

3 Your Driver’s License NumberYou will need to enter your driver’s license on the FAFSA form. If you don’t have a driver’s license, do not worry about this step you are able to skip it.

4 Your Federal Income Tax ReturnOn the 2022–23 FAFSA form, you (and your parents, if you are a dependent student) will report your 2020 income. Since you probably filed your 2020 income tax return by the time the FAFSA form is available, you may be eligible to transfer your tax information into the FAFSA form right away using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT).

5 Records of Your Untaxed IncomeThe FAFSA questions about untaxed income, such as child support, interest income, and veterans’ noneducation benefits may apply to you. On the 2022–23 FAFSA form, you’ll report 2020 tax or calendar year information when asked these questions.

6 Records of Your Assets (Money)This section includes savings and checking account balances, as well as the value of investments, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate (excluding your primary residence.)

7 List of the School(s) You Are Interested in AttendingBe sure to add any college you are considering, even if you have not applied or been accepted yet.

Even if it is only a slight chance you will apply to a college, list the school on your FAFSA form. You can always remove a school later if you decide not to apply, but if you wait to add a school, you could miss out on financial aid.

The schools you list on your FAFSA form will automatically receive your FAFSA results electronically. They will use your FAFSA information to determine the types and amounts of financial aid you may receive. If you add a school to your FAFSA form and later decide not to apply for admission to that school, that is okay! The school likely will not offer you aid until you have been accepted anyway. You can list up to 10 schools at a time on your FAFSA form. I strongly recommend doing this.Make your appointment with your College & Career Coordinator for assistance by calling 360-877-2460 extension #2706 or email: [email protected]

After months of our children enduring online learning, lessons in Google

Classroom, hybrid learning, Zoom classes and so many other things that have left some students feeling confused, frustrated, lost, and ready to give up. What can we do to help them regain confidence and once again become successful? What can we as a parent or guardian do to make certain that our child is on track for success?You may think as a parent or guardian that you are not able to help your child the way they may need at school, but quite the opposite is true. There are well known bodies of research in the educational field that tells us parental and family involvement and engagement are key critical ingredients for student success. One thing that is true no matter what grade your child is in, what school they attend, or what any other factors may be in their lives, is that GPa and student achievement

has been shown to be interconnected and related directly to how much parental and familial involvement exists between the schools, teachers and the families. If you regularly check in with your child’s teacher about your student you can make an impact. This checking in will need to include the all important follow as a parent later at home when you have an opportunity to speak openly and with focus on that child.Family engagement and student success are very closely linked and absolutely impact student achievement in a positive way. Parents who are involved in their child’s education have students with better grades as well as they have been shown to have increased graduation rates as compared to students with little or no parental involvement and engagement. What does that parent and family engagement and involvement look

like? For starters we need to engage in conversations at home about school work, about school projects, and assignments as well as tests that may be coming up. When we have a question about school, assignments, projects, etc. and our child can not answer it, email or call the classroom teacher and ask questions. Showing genuine interest and concern about our child’s success will create deep and lasting communication channels. Teachers know who the parents are who are interested in their students' achievement and successes. This can impact many things about a child’s school life success. One way to make an impact today is to begin checking your child’s Skyward account regularly. You can do this with your student at your side. It can be informative to you and send the message to your child that you are aware of their grades, assignments, quiz and test scores

and more and that you care and want to help them be successful. Conversat ions around the dinner table and while riding in the car are places to begin to unpack and understand what your child is experiencing at school and what may be holding them back from achieving all they can be. As always you are the first and best teacher your child has. You can make a real difference with steady, consistent, and sincere involvement in your child’s school work and building a relationship with their teacher.

OLYMPIA, WA; September 24, 2021 — The firewood program on the Olympic National Forest will be transitioning to a free personal use firewood program to the public beginning October 1, 2021. Free use firewood will be granted to individuals for personal use without regard to race, creed, color, national origin, age, handicap, or sex, and without restrictions regarding the wealth or residency of the recipient.Those who receive free use firewood permits may gather up to 6 cords and can use firewood for cutting, manufacturing, handling, or other processing, but not for resale. Commercial firewood permits are available for individuals who wish to resell firewood or collect up to 10 cords. The rate for commercial firewood permits remains unchanged at $5.00 per cord. The free use areas for

collection remain unchanged as well.“We are pleased to be able to offer free personal use firewood across the Olympic National Forest,” said Forest Supervisor, Kelly Lawrence. “This change will benefit people who rely on firewood as their primary heat source and will allow us to dispose of material that otherwise would have a cost to burn or remove.”Those wishing to gather firewood will still be required to obtain a free permit through a Forest Service office. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Forest Service offices continue to offer limited and virtual services; prior to visiting an office for a permit call an office to ensure staff can safely process your permit.For more information regarding the free use firewood program, please contact Kevin Senderak (360)956-2272 or Brian Jaenicke (360)956-2402.

BURN THE RIGHT WOOD, THE RIGHT WAY, IN THE RIGHT WOOD-BURNING APPLIANCE

id you know that by changing the way you burn wood you can save money, reduce air pollution and protect your health?

Here are a few simple tips to make your re burn hotter, keep your wallet fatter and keep your local air cleaner and healthier.

Season all fi rewood. All fi rewood should be split, securely covered or stored, and aged

for at least six months. Seasoned wood burns hotter, cuts fuel consumption and reduces the amount of smoke your appliance produces.

Choose the right fi rewood. Hardwoods are the best. Never burn trash or treated wood

which can emit toxic air pollutants.

Clean ashes from your wood-burning appliance. Excess ashes can clog the air

intake vents reducing effi ciency. Be sure to dispose of ashes in a metal container away from the house or any fl ammable material to reduce the risk of fi re.

Don’t let the fi re smolder. Many people think they should let a fi re smolder overnight. But

reducing the air supply does little for heating and increases air pollution.

Keep your chimney clean. A clean chimney provides good draft for your wood-burning

appliance and reduces the risk of a chimney fi re. Have a certifi ed professional inspect your chimney once a year.

Upgrade to cleaner equipment. EPA-certifi ed wood stoves and fi replace inserts

burn cleaner and burn wood more effi ciently emitting less particle pollution than older models.

Be a good neighbor. Follow best practices for burning wood. Always remember to

comply with state and local codes and check your local air quality forecast.

For more information on how to burn wise, go to www.epa.gov/burnwise

Start it right. Use only clean newspaper or dry kindling to start a fi re. Never use

gasoline, kerosene, charcoal starter, or a propane torch.

Follow instructions. Operate your wood-burning appliance according to the

manufacturer’s instructions and follow all maintenance procedures.

Size matters. Choose the right-sized appliance for your needs. If your wood-

burning appliance is too big for your room or house, the fuel will smolder and create more air pollution.

One unexpected culprit may be the things we tell ourselves

about exercise before we even lace up our sneakers. Being active reduces your risk for heart disease, promotes lower blood pressure, contributes to weight loss and can help keep your blood sugar in check—all important. But seeing exercise as something you need to do solely to meet long-term health goals can make you miss out on its other more immediate benefits, such as having fun (yes, really!)

or feeling less stressed and more energetic.Exercise is often recommended prescription-style, not suggested as a fun part of life. Reframing physical activity helps people view it as a friend, instead of an enemy, and embrace it when they do it, instead of feeling like they are suffering. Reframing exercise also helps shed light on its less-obvious benefits, such as feeling more focused and alert.

Baby teeth are so important.

Unfortunately, many children in our Skokomish community have cavities by the age of two. Please consider bringing your child to the dentist as soon as they get their fi rst tooth!

What do cavities look like?

Cavities can start as white “chalky” looking areas on a child’s teeth. Cavities often start right at the gum line on the front teeth or the chewing surface of the back teeth. Cavities can

then grow and turn brown and black in color. Last of all the tooth may break because of the cavity.

Your children need your help to stay cavity free.

- Assist your child to brush their teeth utilizing a fl uoride containing toothpaste. Kids need your help to brush!

What is Seasonal Affective Disorder?

Seasonal affective disorder* is a form of depression also known as SAD, seasonal depression or winter depression. In the Diagnostic Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), this disorder is identified as a type of depression – Major Depressive Disorder with Seasonal Pattern.People with SAD experience mood changes and symptoms similar to depression. The symptoms usually occur during the fall and winter months when there is less sunlight and usually improve with the arrival of spring. The most difficult months for people with SAD in the United States tend to be January and February. While it is much less common, some people experience SAD in the summer.SAD is more than just “winter blues.” The symptoms can be distressing and overwhelming and can interfere with daily functioning. However, it can be treated. About 5 percent of adults in the U.S. experience SAD and it typically lasts about 40 percent of the year. It is more common among women than men.

SAD has been linked to a biochemical imbalance in the brain prompted by shorter daylight hours and less sunlight in winter. As seasons change, people experience a shift in their biological internal clock or circadian rhythm that can cause them to be out of step with their daily schedule. SAD is more common in people living far from the equator where there are fewer daylight hours in the winter.Symptoms and DiagnosisCommon symptoms of SAD include fatigue, even with too much sleep, and weight gain associated with overeating and carbohydrate cravings. SAD symptoms can vary from mild to severe and can include many symptoms similar to major depression, such as:o Feeling sad or having a depressed moodo Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyedo Changes in appetite; usually eating more, craving carbohydrateso Change in sleep; usually sleeping too mucho Loss of energy or increased fatigue despite increased sleep hourso Increase in purposeless

physical activity (e.g., inability to sit still, pacing, handwringing) or slowed movements or speech (these actions must be severe enough to be observable to others)o Feeling worthless or guiltyo Difficulty thinking, concentrating, or making decisionso Thoughts of death or suicide o o Treatmento SAD can be effectively treated in several ways, including light therapy, antidepressant medications, talk therapy or some combination of these. While symptoms will generally improve on their own with the change of season, symptoms can improve more quickly with treatment.o Light therapy involves sitting in front of a light therapy box that emits a very bright light (and filters out harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays). It usually requires 20 minutes or more per day, typically first thing in the morning, during the winter months. Most people see some improvements from light therapy within one or two weeks of beginning treatment. To maintain the benefits and prevent relapse, treatment is usually

continued through the winter. Because of the anticipated return of symptoms in late fall, some people may begin light therapy in early fall to prevent symptoms.o Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), can effectively treat SAD. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the type of antidepressant most commonly used to treat SAD.o For some people, increased exposure to sunlight can help improve symptoms of SAD. For example, spending time outside or arranging your home or office so that you are exposed to a window during the day. (However, exposure to UV light from the sun can increase your risk of skin cancer.and you should talk with your doctor about risks and benefits.) Taking care of your general health and wellness can also help—regular exercise, healthy eating, getting enough sleep, and staying active and connected (such as volunteering, participating in group activities and getting together with friends and family) can help.

It is time to prepare for the winter months and Tuwaduq Family

Service building is making every effort to help support the building with the changing of seasons. The garden crew has planted crops that need to be planted in the fall to be ready for spring time. They have planted a cover crop that will provide the garden soil the nutrients that will be needed next spring. The crew has also been getting loads of wood for the community. Public Works has been getting loads of wood for the elders at this time, so we are making sure that households with children and others are being taken care of as well. The news has been talking about the winter weather this year preparing us for the possibility of snow, like we did in the previous year. Please make sure that if you are relying on your woodstove for heat that you make sure that you get enough wood for the season. We may not always have wood supply to provide for you when needed. Purchase loads of wood when possible if you can find a vendor that will have it, just to be on the safe side. Make sure that you have batteries, flashlights, candles, and other emergency items in your house in case our electricity should go out. Get prepared.Tuwaduq Family Service staff was so thankful to be able to help with the elder appreciation drive thru event that was held at the Community Center. It was good to see the turn out that took place, with our elders coming out to participate and enjoy a meal and some special gifts that were prepared for them. We know it is difficult to remain safe at home away from COVID the best we can, but just want to see our friends and family. Seeing the faces and smiles was so appreciated by all of us. Thank you everyone who came to the event and to those that helped to put the appreciation day together. We as a community needed this to happen.October was Domestic Violence Awareness month and community outreach was done, providing purple light bulbs to put on your porch to show support for the victims and survivors of domestic violence. The program also provided outreach to the youth program to share with the trick or treat drive thru. Thank you to all

who showed the support to members of our community who may be a victim or survivor.

They can help you look for jobs that are currently available online and help with filling out an application for employment.

News From Tuwaduq Family Services


Elders Drive Through EventJohn Gouley, Community Center

Director, recently put together an event to honor elders here at Skokomish. He did that last year to help to make up for the loss of our Skokomish Tribal Elders’ Picnic, which was cancelled due to the Covid-19 shutdown. He coordinated with Rosetta LaClair, Tuwaduq Family Services Director, to gather resources for this event. John ordered sweatshirts, baseball hats, and other items to include in a bag of swag for the Elders of our reservation. Rosetta put together another swag bag with goods and gifts from her programs. John solicited help from the Tribal Council which provided the necessary funds to bring this all to fruition. Community Staff Members, Tahnee Miller, Lawson Bordley,

Shout-Outs

Tyson Andrews did a lot of the bag stuffing and organizing. Many other Tribal staff also helped in this process, especially from the Tuwaduq Family Services, as well as the Education

Center Staff, TANF staff and others. Kimberly Miller headed up the kitchen for this event which provided plates of barbecued salmon, fresh oysters, clam fritters, shrimp, mashed potatoes,

corn and cheese cake for all of the elders. Bear and Mitch Plant spent all morning and afternoon preparing and barbecuing the salmon.On Friday, October 15th, Elders who are 65 years and older were invited to drive up at 3 pm, and then the 55 and older ones started at 4 pm. John said the over 300 plates of our local delicacies were given out as well as nearly 150 Elder Swag Bags and 100 Tuwaduq Family Services Swag Bags to those who drove and picked up their goodies. There were lots of smiles and laughs as people came and spent a few minutes, masked up and socially distanced, from our Elder Community. Kudos to all who provided the funds, handiwork and preparing to make this event very special.
