What's Cookin'?
Marl appreciates small town life
It wasn't unfamiliar ground.
Marl says her parents "had prop-
erty in the area since the 1950s."
Now her father, at 87, is the oldest
U.S. Volleyball Association ref-
eree. "I hope I have genes like
that," she laughs.
Now Eric, who is self-em-
ployed, is the one who works
from home. He is able to be with
the children, 10-year-old Kelsea,
6-year-old Brawny and Manda-
• in, who's 2.
SHE DOESN'T miss the city,
Marl says emphatically. "Not at
all. Now, when we head back
there, I'm uptight by the time we
get to Olympia. I like living a
little bit slower."
Not that keeping work and
family balanced is all that slow,
Marl admits. She loved being
home when that was her role,
though even then she volun-
teered. In Seattle, she worked
with Washington State Univer-
sity Cooperative Extension on the
woodland stewardship program;
in Shelton, she has used her
Spanish-speaking skills as a tu-
tor with Mason County Literacy.
But she's glad she was able to
spend the time with her children,
too. "They're little so short a
time," she notes. "It was so nice,
if my daughter came to me with a
book, I'd put down whatever I was
doing and read to her," she says,
reiterating her belief that read-
ing is an essential part of child-
rearing. "But I'm glad I'm
working now," she said. "I think
I'm a better parent. I feel more
effective; I rejoin my family as a
more whole person." She smiles.
"I've got it too good."
She says friends who know
how the couple built their own
home, which is powered only by
the sun and wind - solar panels
and a high-tech windmill that
provides 12-volt power - are sur-
prised that the Larsens aren't
home-schooling their children.
+'WE'RE TEACHING our kids
conservation," she says of the
lifestyle that involves their non-
polluting energy sources and
awareness of their environment.
"We're very involved with our
children; we've read to them
since they were newborns. But
we think it's important that they
go to the public schools; we can
make it work beautifully."
Education is one of Mari's
loves. Another is travel. She has
MARI LARSEN, wliots back in the workforce after time
off to be home wlth her three children, enjoys her job
as aircraft dispatcher for Olympic Air and thinks it
makes her a better parent. And although she has trav-
eled in Europe and lived in Brazil, she relishes Shel-
ton's small- town atmosphere.
By CAROLYN MADDUX
Marl Larsen thinks small-
town life is wonderful, and too
often taken for granted.
"Everyone," she says on a
stroll through downtown Shelton,
"should treat their hometown
like a tourist."
She wonders, for instance,
how many people know they've
got a local full-service airport in
Shelton where people can make
connecting flights to Seattle,
charter flights to the San Juans
and a host of other places - or
learn to fly an airplane. It comes
naturally to Marl to think of the
airport because she's working,
for the first time since she be-
came a morn 10 years ago, at
Olympic Air, the fixed-base op-
erator at Sanderson Field.
MARI IS THE aircraft dis-
patcher at Olympic Air. Her job
includes assorted tasks, she
says, but communicating with
pilots is its focus. "Even as I'm
on the phone or helping clients
face-to-face," she explains, "my
primary attention is always fo-
cused on the Unicorn, as it's the
only communication we have
with the pilots."
Marl provides pilots with
wind-speed and direction infor-
mation and lets them know
which of the airport's two run-
ways is in use at any particular
time. It's a task she says keeps
her on her toes.
"I love it," she enthuses. "It's a
great job. I watch people come up
here and take flying lessons,
and see them accomplish this
new thing: that's wonderful.
"Aviation," she adds, "is a
realm explored by so few, and I
feel privileged to be a part of it lo-
cally."
IS FLYING a goal for Marl?
"Oh, no," she demurs quickly,
laughing. "My passion is yard
sales, and antiques. If I were to
take on some new thing, it would
be to learn to play an instrument.
But I think it's much the same
sort of thing: deciding to do
something and making it
happen."
That's the kind of impetus that
brought Marl and her husband
Eric, whom she describes as a
Ballard Norwegian, to Mason
County a few years back. They
moved to the area south of Shelton
and built their log home in the
woods themselves, by hand.
san.' What a phenomenon for a
- . linguist! It's a miracle•"
AWARENESS OF linguistic
and cultural traditions, she says,
helps people develop a respect for
each other, both locally and glob-
ally.
A couple of summers back,
Marl and her family went to
Norway for the summer to visit
her husband's family. Her Eu-
rail pass hadn't taken her to the
Scandinavian countries, so it
was new territory again. "It was
wonderful to meet Eric's family
and be Norwegian for a few
months," she beams. "People
walk and bike everywhere, and
use public transportation. It's a
slower pace. I think there's more
respect for the land."
On day trips to places like Lil-
lihammer, Marl says, she real-
ized how much the Scandinavian
landscape is like Western
Washington's, right clown to the
blooming fireweed. "Sometimes
we have to be reminded to appre-
ciate the beauty of home," she
says. "We've got it pretty good
here."
But Marl still appreciates the
other places she's been.
SHE HAS HAPPY recollec-
tions, she recalls, of "the streets
with their carts and vendors,
selling food. You'd buy some-
thing and walk on, eating. Or
the sidewalk cafds so open you're
just drawn in."
She thinks of how the Latin
communities "go every day to the
mercado, the market," and of the
freshness of the ingredients to be
had there. "Everyone would shop
for that day," she remembers.
Now, at a distance from even
the current Northwest equivalent
of the mercado, Marl tends to
cook spontaneously with what-
ever strikes her fancy. "I'm one
of those cooks who will look at
what we have on hand and then
decide what to make," she says.
The recipe she shares is a La-
tin favorite.

the effect that a certain resident, whose name it did not give, had
better stop kissing his hired girls or he might be found out. Twenty-
seven men immediately called on the editor and stopped their paper,
and accused him of interfering in their domestic affairs.
The "kissing bug" is making all the old-fashioned kissers take a
back seat, and is about the only thing most girls are afraid to run
up against.

ip Leland of Federal Way will exchange wedding

A Touch of Sicily in Shelton
I've got this awful alpha dog
that isn't scared of anything and
is sure she owns the whole neigh-
borhood. Nothing - scolding nor
swatting nor much of anything
else - intimidates her. Except the
car.
She hates riding in the car and
usually on the first set of curves
she gets carsick. The prospect of
car cleanup is a daunting one and
we try for prevention. I spent
what seemed like an hour getting
the back seat ready for her,
swathing the seat and floor and
sides with sheets and towels, for a
recent trip to the ocean.
Finally I got the car ready and
off we went. Astonishingly, she
made the whole trip without be-

A Touch of Sicily in Shelton
I've got this awful alpha dog
that isn't scared of anything and
is sure she owns the whole neigh-
borhood. Nothing - scolding nor
swatting nor much of anything
else - intimidates her. Except the
car.
She hates riding in the car and
usually on the first set of curves
she gets carsick. The prospect of
car cleanup is a daunting one and
we try for prevention. I spent
what seemed like an hour getting
the back seat ready for her,
swathing the seat and floor and
sides with sheets and towels, for a
recent trip to the ocean.
Finally I got the car ready and
off we went. Astonishingly, she
made the whole trip without be-
ing ill. But I still had to work at
cleaning out the car.
