Ridge elk hunt on hold

Public outcry slows plan to deploy master hunters, kill three elk

Huge effort, dramatic donations to One VOICE, Kiwanis Giving Tree only just keep up with need

A plan to kill three elk near the TPC Snoqualmie Ridge’s 12th tee is on hold, as course owners weigh their options amid a barrage of opposition to the hunt.

With damage to the greens caused by a band of about 20 resident elk worsening over the last two years, TPC staff had worked with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife on a plan to deploy rifle-armed master hunters to the course.

Specially trained hunters were to kill up to three cows in an effort to push the band off the course.

The first day of the hunt would have been Monday, Dec. 12, but the first hunter’s schedule fell through. And as word spread of the hunting plan, announced by the city of Snoqualmie on Dec. 12, opposition grew. By Thursday afternoon, Dec. 15, the hunt had been put on hold at the request of the course, wildlife officials reported.

The Snoqualmie Police Department, which had OK’d the hunt, fielded dozens of calls and e-mails, mostly in opposition to the shoot for reasons of safety and humane treatment of elk. Still others supported the hunt, with a handful asking how they could take part.

Sorting toys at the North Bend Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Zoe Thompson, 13, is impressed with the wall of Barbies and babies in front of her. “I was a big fan of baby dolls,� Zoe remembers. She’s not here to play or reminisce, just volunteer, but she smiles as she sorts toys that will soon go out to hundreds of needy families in the Valley. “It warms your heart,� said the Twin Falls Middle School student, who helped drum up support for the Kiwanis Giving Tree toy drive at school. “It makes your own Christmas better.�

The Giving Tree is just one facet of the new One VOICE Holiday Event that drew on volunteers from local schools, churches and clubs from across the Valley, and is helping a growing number of needy people in the Valley.

ONE VOICE FROM 1 The big cultural room at the church was overflowing with goods as volunteers set up the holiday event on Wednesday, Dec. 14. Over the next two days, the One VOICE Holiday Event drew more than 300 families, including some 750 children, to the church, where they could pick up children’s gifts, clothing, household and hygiene items collected by the Kiwanis Club, Encompass, Snoqualmie Valley Alliance Church, Cascade Covenant Church and local businesses and charitable organizations. Leftovers will go to the Mount Si Senior Center, Gift of Apparel, Eastside Baby Corner and the Valley Teen Closet.

“One VOICE umbrellas all of it,� said Stacey Cepeda, a facilitator for the group who works for Encompass Northwest.

The group didn’t eliminate other group’s drives, but helped to get them acting in concert.

It helped charge up the toy drive, referred families to the Snoqualmie Fire Department for their food drive, and funneled its own food donations to the food bank. “As a group, we can strategize,� Cepeda said. “It prevents people from being overloaded.� “It’s only going to get bigger, smoother, more involving,� added fellow Encompass employee Clay Eals. “Just think about what it will be next year, or five years from now. It’s a sum greater than its parts.�

including the Mount Si Food Bank, Encompass, the Kiwanis and school counselors. There are no eligibility requirements.

Participants simply have to tell someone they need help.

Ongoing need That solid wall of toys that Zoe Thompson and her fellow Twin Falls Key Club members had helped stack was down to nearly bare shelves as the last families arrived Friday afternoon. “It’s getting down there,�

Kiwanis Club officer Paul Tredway said. “We’re just hoping we don’t have to go shopping again.� The group had already spent $2,200 to shop for toys.

Witnessing the outpouring of donations, Tredway has two reactions: Amazement at the

generosity, and a more sober awareness of the Valley’s growing needs.

The list of children in need of holiday gifts rose by about 100 this year. “We keep seeing more need,� Tredway said.

At the same time, he is impressed by the triumph that One VOICE represents. “This partnership was incredible,� Tredway said. “It was really the thing to do.

From now on, we will keep this going.�

Likewise, the North Bend Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints is the right place for the distribution. “We couldn’t have done it without them,� Tredway said.

Not every Giving Tree placard had been taken, but that’s typical, and the group usually

has to do some shopping in the final run-up to distribution.

But there’s also an ongoing wave of need that continues up to Christmas. “After today, we will get all kinds of requests,â€? Tredway said. “Hopefully, we will have some donations in after the fact, because we’re real low.â€? “For struggling families, the outpouring of generosity is so big in November and December,â€? Cepeda said. “February is a tough month‌ Transition periods are hard for families. By the time they’re geared up for winter, it’s summer.â€?

While there are no answers today about how to meet unending need, the group is already planning ahead. One VOICE will meet in January to

consider 2012’s solutions.

If the success of One VOICE’s Holiday Event is any indication, those solutions will continue to happen with unity. “There is the effort of so many people here,� said Diane Garvey, an LDS volunteer who was helping ready the Kiwanis Club’s big toy display. “You have all these other organizations stepping in.� “It’s very rewarding,� added fellow volunteer Joanne Perry. “It’s like a perpetual motion machine.

hunter also take part if the hunt does move forward, as the course’s land includes a sacred Tribal burial ground.

HUNT ON HOLD FROM A1 Voices against the hunt Fall City resident Brad Canady was among the dozens of callers who spoke to local wildlife officials, urging them to call off the hunt. Canady applauded the decision to put it on hold.

He says hunt planners haven’t exhausted all their options.

“The idea of high-powered weapons shooting around people, houses, just seemed absurd,” Canady said. Low risk is still risk, he added.

In his own Internet research, Canady said he found promising statistics on birth control drugs for wildlife, which he unsuccessfully urged the wildlife department to consider.

“Organizations need to be responsible and understand that they do live in a community,” he said. “I’m glad they’re reconsidering this action and not moving forward with the hunt. I hope they make it a permanent decision.”

The Snoqualmie Tribe also spoke out against the hunt.

“Sustainable and low-impact development should include ways to co-exist with wildlife,” Tribal Administrator Matt Mattson stated. “The controlled hunt on the TPC golf course is counter to this philosophy, and counter to the wishes of the Snoqualmie Tribe.”

However, Mattson also requested that a Tribal master

POACHING FROM 1 Opportunistic shooters Last month’s shooting happened in city limits. The weapon used was illegal for elk hunting, too small a calibre for a humane kill.

“In my book, that’s outright poaching,” said Moszeter, an enforcement officer for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. “There’s no rhyme or reason to why they did it,” other than opportunism.

Until lawfully harvested, all wildlife is considered the property of the state. The scavenging of animal parts, such as antlers, from animals that die of accidents or natural causes is also illegal.

Fines can run into the thousands of dollars. If the Nov. 15 poacher is ever caught and convicted, he would face two counts of unlawful hunting of big game with an unlawful weapon. The fines would start at $1,080, with an additional penalty of $2,000 per animal. Trophy bulls bring even higher fines.

Despite the penalties, the Valley’s 400-strong elk population draws poachers along with wildlife watchers, photographers and respectable hunters.

Generalizing local poaching is difficult. Poaching can happen at any time—local elk watchers say poachers generally hunt after dusk, and dress in dark colors rather than blaze orange. Shots in the dark can be a give-away, as are strange or out-of-place vehicles in areas elk are known to frequent.

Members of the Upper Snoqualmie Valley Elk Management Group have noticed cars occupied by armed men slowly trolling rural Snoqualmie neighborhoods, or heard bad elk calls followed by gunshots at odd hours.

Witnessing poaching Driving home on a late afternoon last September, Kalli Willson saw a magnificent bull elk emerge from a construction site on North Bend’s Cedar Falls Way.

“With elk, you’ve got to intercede at some point.”

they can and cannot shoot,” he said. “They’re held to a higher ethical and safety standard than the average hunter.”

Moszeter said the hunters with modern rifles were selected because of their killing power, Safe and quick Chris Moszeter, compared with bows or muzzle-loaders.

Chris Moszeter, the Fish and Wildlife WDFW enforcement officer “We want to be as effective as possible,” enforcement officer for the Valley who set he said. “If you tag an animal, we want it to up the hunt, agreed with Snoqualmie police drop dead now, we don’t want it running off.

Who to call To report a poaching in progress, call 9-1-1.

In a non-emergency situation, call the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife at 1-877-933-9847.

Turning her car around, the North Bend resident quickly looked to see if there were any other elk in the vicinity. With none in view, she resumed her trip.

“Just then, I heard gunfire,” Willson recalled. “Three shots— pow, pow, pow.”

Willson, a former member of the Upper Snoqualmie Valley Elk Management Group, knew that she was in city limits. She also knew it was archery season for elk—“there should not be any gunfire.”

With her three children in the car, she didn’t care to investigate further. But in her mind, the pieces fit—Willson couldn’t help but think she had nearly stumbled onto poachers.

The average person, unaware of hunting regulations, might not have realized what was going on. But Willson, who occasionally hears distant gunfire from her home, knows that illegal hunting happens here, wittingly or unwittingly.

“We’ve well publicized that we’ve got a lot of elk in the Valley.

That is no big secret,” Willson said. “We’ve created a situation that perhaps, we did not intend.”

Elk Management Group member Jim Gildersleeve has witnessed poaching. He knows it happens locally, and feels revulsion at the waste, needless suffering and scoffing of the law.

“Frankly, it upsets me,” he said.

“There are a lot of respectable hunters out there who do the right thing. Poachers don’t do that.”

A few years ago, elk watchers found several dead cows feathered by arrows.

“People are repulsed that poachers would so wantonly slaughter wildlife,” Gildersleeve said.

How many elk are poached annually is impossible to verify.

Elk watchers believe that about 150 elk go missing every year, either dying of natural causes, road kills, predation, or migrating from the Valley. Legal hunting claims only a fraction of that total.

For the entire game management area that includes the Valley, from Rattlesnake Mountain east to the Cascade Crest trail and north to Monroe, hunters take about 50 animals a year. Of the remainder, elk watchers are unsure how much poachers claim.

“Most of it goes unobserved and unreported,” Gildersleeve said.

“Occasionally, we have arrests and prosecution. It’s very difficult to collect the evidence, catch them in the act, to infiltrate them… exceedingly difficult and time consuming.”

Some poachers may have their excuses—elk group member Harold Erland suspects that some may poach simply for food—but some do it for commercial gain.

Elk horn, bear paws or gall bladders can fetch top dollar, for example, in medicinal black markets.

“A lot of illegal activity is obviously a commercial enterprise,” Gildersleeve said. “That’s what’s so despicable.”

The way Erland sees it, poachers deplete a public resource, which helps fund conservation and preserve future hunting opportunities.

Hunters “pay for licenses to harvest an animal,” he says. “Poachers are taking animals that legal people would be able to take. They’re taking from honest people.”

Road kills Of course, not everything that looks like poaching is what it seems.

The bulk of complaints to the local enforcement officer turn out to be road kills.

“Most of the time, what people perceive as poaching is not the case,” Moszeter said.

“You have to consider the counterpart that’s occurring on our highways,” Gildesleeve said.

Between Exit 27 and Snoqualmie Pass, as many as 100 elk are killed on Interstate 90 every year.

In the Valley, 35 road kills were counted in 2011. But elk watchers have calculated that for every animal that falls by the roadside, three or four stagger away and fall in the wild.

Since few people see that carnage, it’s easy to forget or accept.

“The waste of wildlife is still there,” though, Gildersleeve said.

Such waste is what moves elk watchers to do something about highway accidents and poaching. Right now, their main effort is in understanding the herd.

The Elk Group is engaged in a multi-year study of the elk herd’s numbers, habits and movement.

This winter, the group will trap around a dozen more animals, then put radio-tracking collars on their necks. The devices, which transmit for one or two years, keep a running log of where the elk are. That data helps elk watchers understand how the animals behave, and gives city and state officials an idea about how elk affect neighborhoods and highways.

The Valley’s elk herd is currently stable at about 400 animals.

Does the Valley have too many elk? Some property owners whose land is affected by the herds might say so. But folks like Jim Gildersleeve or Harold Erland come down solidly on the side of the law.

“If it’s illegal, unethical, it shouldn’t be done,” Gildersleeve said. “That’s the side I’m with.”

Gildersleeve and Erland want to see the herd effectively managed and balanced.

The intersection between herd growth, legal, accidental and illegal kills “is a complex situation that I don’t think too many people in the Valley think about seriously,” Gildersleeve said.

Some residents may know about the ugly side of the Valley’s reputation as prime wildlife habitat.

“Is it enough for them to take action?” Gildersleeve asked. “I don’t think so. Only a few of us feel that way.”

Trespassing is problem loophole for some hunters For Chris Moszeter, the Valley enforcement officer for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, flagrant trespassing by hunters is as big a problem as poaching.

The problem isn’t necessarily that of safety, but property rights, he said.

In a typical violation, a hunter will ask for permission to hunt, a property owner will say no, but the hunter will hunt on their land anyway and accept the ticket, Moszeter said.

“A $250 criminal trespassing ticket might be the cost of doing business for that trophy bull,” Moszeter said.

“That causes a lot of frustration with homeowners.”

Trespassing is a state-law crime, not a hunting violation. That means that even if a person is fined for trespassing, they can keep their deer or elk.

The state has tried to close the loophole for years, to little avail—measures have failed to pass in the legislature.

Moszeter believes savvy hunters know the ins and outs of the law. Changing it would mean that trespassing hunters would forfeit their kills and possibly their firearms and vehicles.

“It hits them where it hurts,” he said.

’ve never seen that many toys in one room before. Even some of the toy and hobby stores that have called the Valley home would have a hard time matching what the big church multipurpose room had amassed for the Kiwanis Giving Tree at the One VOICE Holiday Event.

What’s equally amazing is that all those toys had vanished within a day and a half, collected by local families who need help with the basics to make a merry Christmas for their children.

Three years SETH TRUSCOTT into the recession, we keep see- Valley Record Editor ing growing need in the Valley. It’s hard to quantify how much the Valley is hurting, but the sheer numbers— more than 700 children provided with presents this season—speak volumes, both about what’s happening locally and in how our Valley’s generosity continues to step up.

Holiday drives, giving trees and bell ringers are nothing new here, but the One Voice Holiday Event that started this year is special. The sheer amount of charitable efforts that happen in the Valley can, frankly, be bewildering.

Every group seems to be doing something encouraging for their neighbors.

The problem for a newspaper writer, as for a donator, is: Where do you start?

One VOICE is attempting to bring order from clutter. They’re doing an amazing job so far; heaps of toys, clothing and goods came in. Now, they turn to the real challenge, meeting the needs of the Valley in the months after Christmas, when the giving slows and the awareness fades.

Meanwhile, there is still an effort to meet the needs of the holidays. If you’d like to assist the Kiwanis Giving Tree make holidays brighter for children in these last days before Christmas, contact the Kiwanis Club’s Paul Tedway at Sallal Water Association (www.sallal. com).

And when you’re ready to grasp the larger picture of charitable giving and need in the Valley, contact One VOICE (425-888-2777). When we pull together, we go farther.

Cleaning Authority hears One Voice Paul and Stephanie McMahon and everyone at The Cleaning Authority would like to give a special thanks to all of our customers who donated blankets and coats to One VOICE. It was just about this time last year when we wanted to do something to help out in the community, but being a fairly new business in the Valley, were not sure where to go. So this year, when Jim Jordan of St. Vincent DePaul came to our church and announced that they needed donations of coats and blankets for One VOICE, we knew exactly what we wanted to do.

We reached out to our customers, asking for donations for this great cause. We had an overwhelming response and have so far collected 50 coats and 30 blankets.

If it wasn’t for the generosity of our customers, we would have never been able to help this much. Thank you for being such wonderful customers. You have made someone’s winter a little warmer. Happy Holidays from all of us at The Cleaning Authority.

A wonderful holiday night Another Christmas in Carnation has passed. It was a wonderful, cold night and our community came together for the traditional tree lighting ceremony. The Carnation Chamber of Commerce once again put on a memorable event.

This year, things started early. With the city of Carnation having to make major budget cuts, we added, hopefully, a new tradition of having the community to help decorate the Tolt Commons. Also new this year was Breakfast with Santa. Thank you to Sliders and Cowgirls for hosting the event. All the food was donated by local businesses and community members.

For a first-time event, this was a huge success! All proceeds from the breakfast benefit the Carnation Chamber. This helps the Chamber put on the

Christmas in Carnation event.

The traditional Christmas in Carnation was Saturday, Dec. 3, with wagon rides by Dog Mountain Farm, a parade with elves and Frosty followed by the long-awaited Santa, who arrived on top of the fire truck.

Santa was accompanied by the McKenzie Family, Corey, Andrew and their four daughters, Abby, Grace, Lanie and birthday girl Maggie, who turned 2. The family was given this gift by friends who won the honor at the Bridge of Promise Auction in November.

The McKenzie Family had the privilege of switching on the lights to end the evening with the tree lighting.

The Carnation Chamber of Commerce could not put this event on without the assistance of all the businesses that come out to support this event, either by volunteering or offering up their traditional goodies— Pete’s Club Grill’s chili, Sandy’s Espresso hot apple cider,

Starbucks coffee, and Camp Korey’s S’mores along with the Chamber handing out goodie bags and hot chocolate.

Entertainment was by the Cedarcrest High School Band and Choir, Felonious Monk, Cascade Community Theatre, Mikaela and Jack Ballard, and face-painting.

We could not put on this event without the help of the City of Carnation. The chamber would also like to thank Ryan Dalziel and Jamus Waters, who outdid themselves once again. Bob Gilbertson, a retired city employee who still lives in Carnation, once again helped out by decorating the Tolt Commons.

Thank you to our community for coming out and supporting this event. Mark your calendars for next year, when Christmas in Carnation will be on Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012.

Karen, Lynnae and I have to say the last few weeks have been extremely difficult. No parent should have to lose a child, and the process of tying up loose ends, cleaning out his home, making arrangements for a funeral and the occasional tear that comes in a quiet moment was all made much easier because of all of you.

I said it at the service, the measure of a person’s life is how many pay tribute after taking that last breath. It was obvious by the amount of love and support, that we have received, that James had a huge impact on the Valley. We are also comforted that you all had such a huge impact on our entire family.

We may have moved physically to Moses Lake, but our hearts will forever be in the Snoqualmie Valley. It’s a great place to raise a family, to develop friendships, to get involved, and to make a difference.

As Karen and I have talked this last week, we consistently came back to the question, “How are we ever going to thank all our friends?� No words or actions can possibly tell you how much you all mean to us, from the first friends showing up at our house as we were receiving news to the constant calls, Facebook posts, cards, flowers and text messages. You are all very special to us and we will always be there for you.

Specifically we have to thank our Walker Warehouse gang.

up to help plan the food. Wow, that was amazing. The City of Snoqualmie, providing police escort, fire personnel at attention, fire trucks lining the route to the Fall City cemetery, thank you for making it something special. Our families, which, including extended family, numbered near 50 on Saturday, but most importantly my brother Doug, who has been with us every step of the way. A special thanks to our Blue Lake family, Randy, my pseudo brother and his family, the Gopals, and all the others who made it a special place for James. Thanks to the Jensen family for all their support and friendship over the last three years.

Thanks to the pall bearers, all the best of friends. Monty Wright did an amazing job at the service and thanks to Charlie Kinnune for the impact he has had on hundreds of Valley youth, including James.

We would be remiss if we didn’t say thank you to the staff at the High School and Snoqualmie Valley School district. For those who attended the service you saw an amazing performer, Austin Jenckes, sing and play guitar. Austin was a fun kid to coach in Viking football and is a gifted performer. He will be famous some day and James loved his music. Finally, thanks to Connell Grain Growers for giving a college graduate a chance, he really loved that job.

For those wishing to remember James in a special way, please donate to the James McKiernan Memorial Scholarship fund at Mount Si High School. All the money collected will be used to help young athletes pay for the extra things that go along with wanting to play

Korean visit Ten students from Gangjin, Korea, will arrive on January 4 for a student exchange at Mount Si High School.

Small world French visitor sees small differences from urban home

BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter

It’s not the French food that Pierre Perez misses while on his year-long stay in the United States, so much as the ritual that surrounds it.

“Really, the food here is fine,” says the 17-year-old Rotary exchange student.

It’s just not given quite the same respect that it is at his home in Lille, one of the largest cities in France.

At home, every meal is still a sit-down affair with his parents and younger brother Paul, and “in school, we take one hour to eat.” Pierre continues wistfully, “we have plates, knives, forks, glasses, a bottle of water on the table, bread – French bread of course, and des-

Are my eyes causing my headaches?

Rebecca Dale, MD Board Certified Eye Physician & Surgeon

If you are suffering from pain in or around your eyes, or have recently started having headaches, you may wonder if your eyes are the problem.

T h e s h o r t a n sw er : Maybe.

sert.” The 30-minute lunch periods at Mount Si High School just don’t compare.

Pierre is attending Mount Si for his senior year of high school, and living in Snoqualmie with Brad and Jill Toft and their two children, Wilson and Lauren.

He will stay with another Rotary family for part of the year, too.

The Tofts were excited to welcome Pierre into their family, especially after talking with other families who have hosted exchange students.

“They’ve formed these lifelong relationships with these people in other countries, and become an integral part of their lives,” Brad said. “I would like our kids to be able to… have that experience.”

Wilson, 12, has played host and tour guide to Pierre, taking him to various sporting events—Pierre plays soccer and lacrosse.

At only a year younger than Pierre’s brother Paul, he’s also been a bit of a little brother, notably when it comes to teasing.

“Most of the time it’s been fun, even though I lost my

Pictured clockwise from bottom left are Wilson and Lauren Toft, Pierre Perez, and Brad and Jill Toft. front seat in the car!” said Wilson, grinning.

Every member of the family went through an adjustment when Pierre arrived in August.

Jill, anxious to show Pierre the beauty of the area, overdid it at first. “I had him hike Mount Si,” she said, embarrassed. “I grossly underestimated the length of that hike!”

“It was like his second day here!” added Lauren.

The language barrier was quickly overcome on both sides, and Jill told Pierre that she’s seen great improvement in his English

Problems with the eyes--inflammation, elevated eye pressure, dryness and other surface issues, or occasionally a need for glasses--can cause pain in or around the eyes, and can also cause headaches. But the opposite is also true: headaches can generate pain that is felt in or around the eyes, even though the eye exam is normal and the eyes are not causing the headaches.

So if you have eye pain, should you see your primary care provider or your eye care provider? Another short answer: Yes (maybe both). That's not meant to be flippant, but simply to say that if you are having new, changing or worsening eye pain or headaches, it is important to have your symptoms evaluated to consider the possibility of severe problems. A careful history evaluating the quality, location and frequency of your pain along with any associated symptoms can help identify the cause, which is the first step on the road to relief.

comprehension lately.

Learning English is one advantage Mount Si has, and the main reason that Pierre wanted to have an exchange year through Rotary. His father, a businessman, encouraged him to go so he could improve his English.

Ultimately, Pierre hopes to become a doctor, and fluency in English would serve him well, there, or in business, if he can’t get into the medical school he wants.

“English is the language of commerce,” he said. “If you want to do economics, or history, you can’t speak French. Nobody else in the world speaks French.”

Pierre likes the sevenhour school days at Mount Si, much shorter than the 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. days he spends at home, and he marvels at how cultural differences can affect what stu-

dents are taught. In France, for example, World War II started in 1939, two years earlier than American textbooks state.

He laughed when someone asked him if they have Facebook in France. Of course they do, he said. How else could he stay in touch with his friends at home?

“There is not a big difference here, but a lot of, lot of small differences,” he said.

Most of the time, Brad said, Pierre handles all the change pretty well, but he does get homesick, and loves to talk with his family via Skype, when he can.

The technology helps him reconnect to home.

“It’s good. My mother can see me, see that I’m healthy, getting enough to eat” he said. “I’m not sure I could do this without the technology that we have today.”

Cedarcrest teacher Amy Blooming announced the success of four of her “brave and slightly crazed creative writing students” who took up the challenge of writing a 50,000-word novel in November.

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) participants Cody Paxman, DJ Bergquist, Ryan Harjo and Nik Werner were among

300,000 student writers to complete the task.

“These renegade raconteurs cranked out their tomes, ranging from 55 to over 200 pages long,” said Blooming. “I congratulate them on their amazing accomplishment!”

T

he folks at Mount Si Sports + Fitness love the New Year season.

Even though for some people, a New Year’s resolution is something that “goes in one year and out the other,” for many of us, it’s a time when it seems like we can start over

December 2011

and finally become the healthy, fit and productive person we’ve always wanted to be.

The trouble is, the enthusiasm to make lifestyle changes, especially with nutrition and exercise, tends to fade once we realize that this is a marathon, not a sprint, and our goals are not achieved overnight. However, there are three things you can do to greatly improve your chance of success in adopting a sustainable, healthy lifestyle.

Adjust your attitude If you have the wrong attitude about fitness, you’re already setting yourself up for failure. Try a different perspective. Try looking at exercise as a break from a stressful workday—a way to immediately boost energy and mood, or perhaps it’s the only time you’ll have to yourself all day.

RESOLUTION FROM 7

Adventure Bootcamp allies with Mount Si Sports + Fitness

Implementing a new fitness routine can feel overwhelming, particularly if you haven’t been active in a while. You may be intimidated by the gym equipment or by the idea of exercising in front of others. You may also be over-stressed, not knowing exactly when to fit exercise into your already packed schedule. Don’t let these feelings be a show stopper!

Motivation will not magically happen. You have to recommit to your goals each day. You will not always want to exercise and eat healthy. Even the most committed exerciser doesn’t always want to do it. Know that you will have to work on it every day.

Adjust your lifestyle Never forget that getting fit and managing your body weight is a lifetime prospect. You will never stop working on it. Before you start a nutrition plan or exercise program, ask yourself these questions: Can I sustain this nutrition plan for the long term? Is this exercise program something I can do every day? If the answer is “no,� you are wasting your valuable time.

Identify your bad habits. Consider keeping a food/activity journal for an entire week. You might be surprised by what you learn. Decide in advance what your meal plan will be each week and don’t succumb to the temptation of fast food. Stock up on breakfast foods you like, keep meal replacement bars in the car or try healthy fruit shakes or smoothies.

Make a plan Set your goals. Write down specific goals you have (not just ‘I want to lose weight’), realistic target dates and what you think will happen and how you will feel when you reach your goal. Finally, make the decision that you will never, ever, give up!

Of course, there are no shortcuts to any place worth going, but it is imperative that you believe you can be successful. In order to fully achieve anything, you must believe it is possible at a cellular level.

Use visualization—it’s a powerful tool. If you can conceive it, you can achieve it. Visualize yourself participating in activities that add life and provide energy.

Picture how good you will feel when implementing your plan. Imagine your new life. Take time to do this each day.

You cannot plough a field by turning it over in your mind. To begin, you must begin.

Here is where Mount Si Sports + Fitness come in. When it comes to exercise, they have been voted “Best of the Valley� since opening in 2003. The facility is

Mount Si’s Tanner Stahl works on Bellevue’s Garret Williams during the closing match of the night, Wednesday, Dec. 14.

Sophomore Tanner Stahl had no trouble describing the moves that went right for him in his three-minute bout.

Stahl, who pinned Garret Williams in Mount Si’s Dec. 14 home match with Bellevue, showed good, confident control in the final set of the night.

His win helped the Wildcats beat Bellevue, 51 to 28, their second victory of the season.

“I just went out there and ran my cross-wrist series,” said Stahl, who is 2 and 2 this season at 126 pounds.

“He pinned me last year at 112. It was good to come back this year and pin him... an improvement.”

Wednesday’s speedy match was hurried by quick decisions.

Heavyweight Josh Mitchell pinned Bellevue’s James Trull in less than half a minute. It took Mount Si 170-pounder Cole Palmer 27 seconds to pin opponent John Manusco.

At 182, Wildcat Douglas Knox pinned his man, Alex Palander, in 35 seconds. At 160, Mount Si’s AJ Brevick pinned Sam Bassford in 1:18.

At 138, Wildcat Bruce Stuart won by decision over Ben Matteucci.

The Bellevue win followed a strong Dec. 8 win against Juanita.

The Wildcats are on their way to the Best of the West tournament, Dec. 22 and 23 in Pasco.

Coach Steve Helm never knows who it’ll be. But chances are, someone new will be hot on a given night.

Last Tuesday, Dec. 13, it was junior Jason Smith’s turn.

Smith, Mount Si’s second-highest scorer in the Wildcats’ 46-44 squeaker over Juanita, added nine, including two crucial threepoint snipes in the game’s final three minutes.

“If I’m going to come up big for my team, I’ve got to capitalize on those opportunities,” Smith said. “I feel like I’ve been a spark off the bench the last couple of games.”

In those tense final minutes, “Jason came through big for us, really helped us off the bench,” said sophomore Levi Botten.

“When someone’s hot like that, you just run plays and try to give them the ball.”

“Tonight was a great win,” said senior Anthony McLaughlin, who led with 17 points. “Everybody contributed something. We have so many role players. We’re going to have a guy who’s hot every night. Tonight was his night. He is capable of scoring at will. He’s a great player, and is going to get a lot of minutes.”

“We stuck to our game plan,” Botten said of the night, in which Mount Si struck early the second half to win from behind.

Jack Nelson, a sophomore, has also had good moments in the early season. An outside shooting threat, small and quick guard, he had eight points in overtime against Interlake.

In a team that’s growing its depth, Helm said it can be surprising who turns in key performances. “It’s fun to see who that’s going to be every night,” he said.

Mount Si is at the Lahaina Invitational in Hawaii this week.

The vehicle’s lights were on, but very dim, and the driver was traveling at only 30 mph in the 40-mph zone. When an officer stopped the vehicle, he smelled freshly-smoked marijuana. The man claimed he had not been smoking in the vehicle, and handed over about a gram of marijuana and his smoking pipe.

“Real Skills, For Life�

Serving the Eastside Since 1993

KungFuClubIssaquah.com 425-392-4712

The brothers of Falls City Masonic Lodge No. 66 have been quietly serving the Valley community while ‘building better lives and better men’ since 1890. They still meet regularly in the tallest building in Fall City, which has held that record since 1895.

Locals get an opportunity to see a little of the inner workings of a Masonic Temple at the installation for the new officers of the Fall City lodge, 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 14.

To attend, contact the Falls City Masonic Hall; visit www.fallcitylodge.com for the most

current contact information. Business professional attire is appropriate. The installation is expected to run approximately 75 minutes.

While Freemasons have been a fraternal organization since the 16th century, their roots go back to 13th century Scotland.

Famous Freemasons include George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Meriwether Lewis, Mark Twain, Davy Crockett, John Wayne, astronauts John Glenn and Buzz Aldrin and Presidents Harry Truman and Gerald R. Ford.

Charles (Charlie G.) Leslie Goodman

Charles Leslie Goodman passed away on December 4, 2011 at Snoqualmie Valley Hospital.

Charlie, a lifelong Carnation resident, was born August 26, 1956 at Nelms Hospital in Snoqualmie, WA to Lavern Charles Goodman and Irene Delores Goodman.

Charlie lived in and around the Lower Snoqualmie Valley all of his life where he graduated from Tolt High School in 1974 and where he built his business Charlie G Trucking.

Charlie was well known to all and love and is remembered for his smile that reached his eyes. He enjoyed life to the fullest and loved to travel. He didn’t just talk about doing things, he did things and went places. His trips included Hawaii, Indiana, Florida, California and Texas.

Charlie was preceded in passing by his father, Lavern Charles Goodman and mother Irene Delores Goodman.

Charlie is survived by his daughters Lacie Renee Goodman of Carnation, WA, and Desire Tesser and three grandsons, Aristotle, Zane and Elijah of Miami, FL, and Lacies brother Mitch Shepherd; siblings: Rod Goodman, Juanita Gilmore, Linda Thompson, Nancy Benedict and Lois Goodman; nephews: Rick Goodman and Brent Benedict; nieces Teri Totten, Andrea Thompson and Tiffany; and his special friend of the past five years Chelee and many extended family members and friends.

North Bend’s Sallal Grange had a rousing success with its holiday bazaar, held Saturday, Dec. 10.

One of the most successful aspects was the bake sale table. The Grange invited the community to make and

The response from the community was amazing, everything from cheesecakes to artisan shortbreads to Twin Peaks pies courtesy of Twede’s CafĂŠ. “The response was heartwarming,â€? said Grange member Leah Aichele. “The people in this community are very generous, making cookies, cakes and even Hungarian Belish.â€?

Items were not priced, instead customers were asked to donate a fair amount. The bake sale brought in $570 and some change, which was donated to the food bank on Dec. 14.

The food bank is struggling because of current economic conditions.
