ADVANCE FOR THE WEEKEND OF FEB. 11-12 AND THEREAFTER - In a Jan. 4, 2017 photo, Jersey cows supply milk for Appel Farms, which produces many kinds of cheese, ice cream and yogurt for sale at its Cheese Shop in Ferndale, Wash. For more than two years now, Lummi Nation has been unable to reliably open its prime clam beds on its reservation for harvest because of bacterial pollution in Portage Bay near Bellingham. Now in an unusual leap of faith, tribal leaders and seven family dairy-farm operators in Whatcom County are launching a collaborative effort to clean up the bay.

In this Thursday, Jan. 26, 2017 photo, clay pots made by Nepalese Prajapati potters are loaded in a vehicle to be taken for sale in the ancient Nepali town of Thimi. In the past, Prajapati potters would travel across the country to sell their wares. That practice has already died out as more durable material replaced clay pots. Of the nearly 2,000 Prajapati families in town, less than 300 families now depend on clay pottery for a living. (AP Photo/Niranjan Shrestha)

In this Friday, Feb. 10, 2017 photo, a Nepalese Prajapati potter carries a basket filled with clay to make into clay pots in the ancient Nepali town of Thimi. For generations, the residents of Thimi supplied the rest of the Himalayan country everything from tiny clay lamps used in temples to massive grain storage jars. As more young people leave town for better paying jobs in other parts of Nepal or abroad, fewer families have to eke out an income from the relatively low-returns business of clay pottery. What has kept the tradition alive, for now, is the flow of tourists who buy artistic clay pots as souvenirs, and also because clay pots are still used in certain Hindu and Buddhist rituals.
