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. Pastel de QueUe 3 3/4 C. all-purpose flour** 1 1/2 tsp:sai ............ 6 tap clarified butter..

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. Skare will wed Leland Amy Christina Skare of Shelton and Kenneth Phil- ip Leland of Federal Way will exchange wedding vows Saturday, September 11, at Faith Lutheran Church in Shelton.
