Ensure age appropriate conditioning for youth

by Stephanie Kunold, MS, MAEd

Parents, coaches and kids ask me all the time about when is the correct time to start working with weights. There are several factors to consider; but age is first and foremost. Secondly, is what else is going on; all athletes have a pre-season, in-season as well as post-season training time and regimen.

The reason for this is so they are conditioning to be ready for season and not being over-trained during the season when their main focus is to be strong and focused for their sport.

PHASE 1: Ages 2-4 In this early phase of development, kids are just learning fundamental motor skills and building their neuromuscular neurons to coordinate movements.

Very simple movements and hand-eye coordination activities are most appropriate at this time. It is important at this age to make movement and exercise a positive and fun experience.

PHASE 2: Ages 5-12 During this phase, children are introduced to a variety of sports and activities. This gives kids an opportunity to try multiple sports to see what they enjoy as well as not lead to burnout, boredom and/or overuse injuries. This is a good time to teach fundamental skills for movement, agility, endurance, strength (using bodyweight) as well as sport skills.

PHASE 3: Ages 13-18 In this phase, teens can get into more advanced strength and conditioning training, but focus should be placed on self-esteem and developing regular and consistent workouts based on the sport and season they are in. By developing the importance of a regular activity will carry over into their adult life where they will always have adopted an active and healthy lifestyle.

Suquamish Tribal Members, their households and Tribal Government Employees are eligible at no charge.

Department of Commerce Representatives Visit Suquamish Delegation spends a day on the water learning about geoduck and Suquamish trade with China In October, a high level delegation from the Department of Commerce visited the Suquamish Tribe and Suquamish Seafoods. The delegation included Assistant Secretary Michael Platt, Director Anthony Foti, Linda Belton, and several other key staff. The group was hosted for the day by Council Members Jay Mills and Sammy Mabe, and Seafoods Director Tony Forsman.

The purpose of the visit was to showcase Suquamish Seafoods and explain how US/China trade policy impacts the Tribe.

The day began with a visit to watch the geoduck divers in action aboard the dive boat. The Commerce delegation was able to learn about how geoducks are harvested and watch an on-site cleaning of geoduck and identification of the meat.

The morning excursion was followed by lunch at the casino and a tour of the Suquamish Seafoods Plant where Tony Forsman and his staff answered questions about its operations and sale/ marketing of geoduck abroad.

The delegation has extended an invitation to the Suquamish to attend the Department of Commerce 44th Annual Fish Fry next June. As part of the event,seafood producers ship in fresh catches to feed Commerce and Members of Congress, providing an opportunity for Suquamish Seafoods to extend its brand and potentially showcase geoduck on a national level.

Chairman’s Report

by Leonard Forsman

The Suquamish Tribe is committed to cultural preservation. Our elders are supportive of a variety of cultural activities, events and institutions. Our Suquamish Museum and Archives, since its beginnings in the early 1980s, has been an integral element in our cultural resurgence.

Our current Suquamish Museum Board includes elders who were involved with many of these early preservation efforts.

Our current Museum staff is younger and just as committed to preserving our culture and sharing it with visitors to our reservation.

Our collections are growing, exhibit and event schedules are dynamic and our Museum store is getting more successful. We still have a need for more staff and are actively seeking funds to support our mission. One of the Suquamish Museum’s major projects was developing the artwork and photographic displays on the new M/V Suquamish ferry.

underrepresented communities. We also had robust discussions regarding program comments on Veterans Affairs property management and Railroad Right of Way activities. Tribes and States expressed concerns about these two actions because of their potential to disturb or destroy archaeological sites and sacred places. Both actions will be reviewed and modified for later action.

The Suquamish Tribal Elders traveled to Albuquerque, staying at the Sandia Casino Resort, for the second of two annual trips this year. The Albuquerque trip was during the Balloon Fiesta, which was an impressive event. We arranged two events during the week to meet with the local people.

Our first event featured Deb Haaland, a member of the Laguna Pueblo, who is poised to become the first Native American congresswoman if elected this November. Ms. Haaland talked about her heritage, her father who was a decorated veteran and her mother who served in the Navy.

Clearwater Casino Resort Receives Green Certification

Suquamish facility is first casino resort in the state with EnviroStars Tier 1 designation (Kitsap County, WA) – Clearwater Casino Resort was recently certified as EnviroStars Tier 1 Partner and is the first casino/resort in the state of Washington to achieve this certification. EnviroStars, Washington’s green business program, has helped more than 150 businesses of all sizes and type improve their sustainability during the program’s first year.

The Clearwater Casino Resort earned EnviroStars recognition by implementing a set of best practices in their facilities that include energy and water conservation, replacing inefficient lighting with LEDs, pollution prevention, and recycling. “Becoming certified as a Tier 1 partner is certainly an accomplishment when you consider the size and complexity of the operation. The team at Clearwater Casino Resort continues to demonstrate a commitment to environmental stewardship that is to be commended,” said Eirik O’Neal, Kitsap County Education and Outreach Specialist.

The Suquamish people have been living in

the Suquamish area for thousands of years and understand firsthand what it takes to make good decisions to help the environment. “Here at the Clearwater Casino Resort, we pride ourselves on becoming a Tier 1 Partner with EnviroStars. There are 84 measures in Tier 1 that we have met and are excited to continue perfecting. We are currently working on a piece of Tier 2 that includes Solid Waste and continue toward the completion of Tier 2,” said CEO Samuel Askew. “We’ll continue to work with our Green Team committee to become the most efficient business we can become.”

EnviroStars helps businesses implement best practices that save energy and water, generate less waste and pollution, and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions – choices that are both good for business and good for Kitsap County’s environment. Kitsap County supports EnviroStars as part of a coalition of 21 Washington cities, counties, utilities, and local
