WHAT’S HAPPENING
December, 2009 | 3
I am hopeful that all will have a blessed holiday season! I know that we are all at different stations in life and some are in particularly difficult situations. I appreciate the support of the children, parents, and community members and for your involve-ment in Trout Lake School. Recently, I had the opportunity to hear a great speaker comment on things that have been learned throughout a life time of service. Several of the points resonated with me and so I thought I would share them with you!
I’ve learned…• That it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it. • That it’s not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that
counts. • That it’s not what happens to people that’s important. It’s what they do
about it. • That you should always leave loved
ones with loving words—it may be the last time you see them.
• That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
• That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the conse-quences.
• That you should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it.
• There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Trout Lake School Promotes ReadingSCHOOL EVENTS
Trout Lake School is doing its part to promote reading, from the elementary on up! On November 20, K-4 students were treated to Trout Lake’s annual Breakfast and Books,
a time when parents and friends come to the school at the start of the day to share breakfast and to read with elementary kids. Below: Dennis McMahon reads with his daughter Clara. On page 5, clockwise from top left: Salvador Lopez reads with his daughter Emily. Serena Caballero enjoys a book in comfort with her mom, Stepha-nie. Harmony Allaway listens to her daughter Peyton read. Richard Sanders enjoys a good book with his son Draven. Brendan Norman and Rain Burtchaell-Norman share a story together.
Another way Trout Lake supported reading was a Scholastic Book Sale, promoted by the Trout Lake Community Club (see photo at the bottom of pages
4-5). Proceeds from the sale will used to purchase books for the school library and classrooms.

K–8 Reading ContestTrout Lake students band together for a common goal—to read more. A lot more. By collectively reading over 55,000 minutes, they also pushed Mr. Dearden and Mr. Wood out into the cold.
The kindergarten through eighth grade has been reading all through the month of November. The reading contest began on November 6th and ended on November 30th. The goal was for the combined classes to reach a grand total of 40,000 minutes of reading outside of school. With magnificent effort they exceeded the goal reading a total of 55,050 min-utes. By accomplishing this goal, they also achieved another; for one entire day during the winter Mr. Dearden and Mr. Wood must move their offices out-side into the back of their trucks even if it is snowing or raining. The students will also be able to decorate Mr. Wood’s and Mr. Dearden’s trucks. In addition, any student who read at least 350 minutes on their own will receive a $5 gift certificate for the book fair. Prize Winners:
Front (l to r): Mary Vollema (2nd grade), Rain Burtchaell-Norman (1st grade), Devon Biernaki (K). Back row (l to r): Nash Caballero (6th grade), Serena Caballero (4th), Caitlin Scott (8th), McKinzie Wurtz (7th), Lily Painter (5th), and Sean McMahon (3rd).
McKinzie Wurtz will receive a $10 gift certificate for her outstanding effort of 10,140 minutes.

During high school, at least half of the student body at many schools in the United States has participated in sports. This means that, at some point in the year, these students have had lives fraught with water bottles, running shoes, power bars, and—among many in this population—sports injuries.
As a competitive swimmer, I learned what a decade’s worth of training could do to a person’s body. However, after having to stop swimming because of a sports injury, I discovered all the good things swimming had done for my well-being that I had taken for granted before. These included sleeping better and stay-ing in shape and being generally healthier among a myriad of other benefits. In this way, I think that sports are a very good thing for students. They allow students who are sitting at a desk all day to get up and about. Plus, sports are a huge commitment and to be practic-ing with many other students allows for more motivation than one might get trying to exercise alone.
On the other hand, there is the exposure to injury that athletes are constantly familiar with. More serious injuries can even ruin a student’s hopes at a specific profession in the future. The ideal would be to keep any negative repercussions of a sport at a minimum so that the participant can enjoy the benefits of exercise. In order to do so, there are solutions offered by many different sources.
Recently, one of these solutions has been discovered to be not playing a single sport all year round. When a person only does one exercise, only certain muscles are worked, so strength becomes unbalanced. This can cause problems with posture and can also make it so that these muscles can get tight and are more prone to injury. In other words, a person should not specialize in one specific sport. However, on an-other side of the spectrum, there are students who do only do one sport every year for a single season and then do no sports and hardly any exercise for the rest of the year. The dangers of this are that that person will not be in shape when the sport they participate in starts. If this is the case, then that person will have been doing no exercise for many months, and then one day, is thrown into the routine of high school sports and is likely to hurt themselves from the sudden strain and exercise.
With these aspects in mind, student sports are still a positive. Students must be aware of what their body can handle, though. If they’re doing a running-intensive sport, people should try to get into a running regime before the sport starts and they commit to running for an extended period every day. If people keep in mind what is best for their body, they will be able to enjoy more of the benefits of the sport and exercise in general.
Avoiding Sport InjuriesConsistency is the key when it comes to athletics.

8 | December, 2009
Although the Trout Lake/Glenwood varsity boys’ basketball team didn’t necessarily start the year with a string of wins, it is their goal to get there. The group of sixteen boys began their season on November 16th and, of that group, some of the boys had never played together be-fore and the team had lost last year’s seniors who had been key leaders in the group. With the loss of these more experienced players, the team is very young and has not yet had the opportunity to learn to act as a unit. The team’s first tournament of the season left them 2nd place as they played against teams from Lyle and Vancouver. By the end of the season, the boys hope to be one of the top two teams in League and, if this goal is met, to go on to the district playoffs.

Girls Basketball–’09The TLG girls basketball team is jumped to a great start this year by winning the
Trout Lake Shootout. They came out on top of their first with a 69-6 win over Van-couver Christian. “What was really good about the game against Vancouver is that it really got our team excited for the next games,” said junior Liz Vogt. The second game against Lyle/Wishram presented a little more of a challenge for the girls but they still won by 30 points. “Winning the shoot-out was definitely the best way we could have started our season,” says senior Katie Yarnell.

Plastic soup Since plastic has been invented, it has been improperly disposed
of. In elementary school I remember learning that fish often died from getting caught in the plastics that we use to hold together packs of soda or other canned drinks. However, these canned liquid “holsters” are not the only plastics that threaten the ocean and its inhabitants.
Disposables such as Styrofoam, milk jugs, plastic shop-ping bags and plastic cutlery all contain a chemical called bisephenol A, which only appears when the plastics are broken down. This is the same reason that you are not supposed to heat plastics if you are going to eat or drink out of them. Scientists used to think that the plastics could only be broken down in the ocean in extreme temperatures and over hundreds of years. However, a new study suggests that plas-tics break down at much lower tempera-tures and within a year of being in the ocean. All of this plastic has been caught in converging currents called gyres.
These gyres swirl catching all the plastics and holding them hostage. Even-tually the ocean breaks the plastic down to tiny little bits that are about the size of an eraser on the end of a pencil. These bits of plastic are what form plastic soups the size of Texas in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
The plastic is coming from several different sources. The main source is trash dumping in the sea. Most of this trash dumping is happening in areas that are in poverty, where the thought of paying to have your trash disposed of is simply unfathomable. The only way to stop these places from dumping trash into the sea is to make trash disposal free and simple. Another source of the plastic is flooding and hurricanes. As an area floods, trash is swept up by currents that take them into the seas. Also, strong hurricane winds can blow garbage into the sea.
With all this trash that is flowing into the ocean, you may be surprised to find that the size of these garbage patches is not increasing. Some people would hear this and think that the fact that the plastic soup is not growing is a good thing. However, scientists know that this
is a problem because the amount of plastic going into the seas has actu-ally increased. Scientists know that animals are eating the plastics but not at a high enough rate to eliminate all the plastic that flows into the ocean yearly. The two theories that scientists have are that either the plastic is fully disintegrating or that oceanic bacteria are weighing the
plastics down, causing them to sink. If the plastic is indeed sinking, then the problem is only getting worse. There is life in the ocean at
all depths. As the plastic sinks many fish and other ocean organ-isms can and will easily mistake these plastic bits as food.
Most of the fish will die once they eat the plastic due to bisephenol A poisoning. Whether or not bisepohenol A can stay in the body of a fish after it has been killed or when it is being eaten is still unknown.
As far as cleaning up this plastic debris goes, there are many different opinions. Some say that there is no way to clean up the plastic bits so money should be spent on preventing more trash floating into the sea rather than using money to remove the plastic that is already there. However, others say that there is a way to clean up the plastic and that all that is lacking is a will. The argument is that most of these cleaning
methods involve chemicals, and cleaning chemicals with chemicals is like trying to fight fire with fire.
The truth is that it would be nearly impossible to stop garbage from going into the sea. However, we
can limit the amount of garbage that ends up in the sea by making garbage disposal around the world efficient and cheap.
Currently, the amount of plastic in the sea is insufficient to cause global concern. How-ever, in the years to come it may become a serious global problem.
Village Voice writer Chase England talks about the growing problem of trash in the world’s oceans.

The Wood Shop students have completed their first projects of the year. Once they learned how to operate the power tools and passed all the tests they were ready to get started. The students in the shop have fun but they are also very aware that concentra-tion is needed to operate any power tools. The students started out by drawing their design plans and then writing a detailed paper explaining what their project was and how they were going to do it. After that they were ready to cut the wood and get started. Now the students have moved onto their next project. Many of them have decided to make Christmas presents. The students are look-ing forward to the rest of the year and hope to continue learning the tricks to building new things.

Hanneke Cassel Visits Trout LakeSTUDENT LIFE
18 | December, 2009
On November 16, Trout Lake School hosted Hanneke Cassel, a Celtic fiddle player who put on a superb show for the student body. Ms. Cassel and her accompanying guitarist Christopher Lewis, played for two assemblies; first for the 5th-12th grade, then for younger students. She began each assembly by playing some incredible pieces that she had written herself, and telling about her life as a fiddler. Near the end, she had all the students learn a dance called the “Virginia Reel.”

Middle School WritersEvery Friday is Choice Day in Middle School PE. And every Friday a controversial question arises—which game should they play? Should they play the old standby, “Three Step?” Or how about another dodgeball variation, like “Prison Ball” or “Quadra-ball?” Maybe they should go for a new or different game like “Escape from the Titanic” or “Ulti-mate Frisbee.” There are so many options; and so many opinions. To practice writing persuasive essays, Mrs. McKin-ney had her fifth and sixth grade students write about which game they prefer—to try to convince their classmates once and for all about which Friday Choice Day game is best.
Escape from the TitanicMy favorite game for choice day is
Escape from the Titanic. The good thing about it is that it is a challenging game and
I like challenging games. I also like using the jump ropes. The game is a very fun
game. One of the better things about it is you don’t get hit by a ball. You
get to use a scooter boards, but you don’t really get to use them that much. In
conclusion, this is my favorite game.Emily Shields
Ultimate FrisbeePlease vote for Ultimate Frisbee! IT’S AWE-
SOME! Some good things about this game are: you run a lot for great exercise, you get to throw a Frisbee and you always work as a team. Here are some non-fun games. Escape from the Titanic takes too long to set up and you can’t talk! Other games aren’t really as fun as Ultimate Frisbee. In conclusion, please vote for Ultimate Frisbee or you will be forced to eat squash and listen to elevator music. Ultimate Frisbee RULES!
Beau Modrich
Soccer Soccer is a fun game because it gives you many
areas to play at. One position is called defense. Defense helps get the ball up the field. They help the goalie by getting the ball away from the goal. Defense also takes the ball up the field and passes the ball to one of their teammates. The midfield-ers have three jobs. One of them is to help the forwards, with defense. As you can tell, soccer is fun in many ways.
Ethan Evans
Four Corner SoccerFour-corner Soccer is a fun game to play for
Choice Day. There are several reasons this is a fun game. One is there are smaller mobs around the ball. Another is there are more goals you can score on. Also there’s more competi-tion. There are a couple reasons this is a better game than others. One is you don’t sit out. Another is you run a lot more than others. In conclusion, this game is a lot better than others.

Ultimate FrisbeeUltimate Frisbee is a good game to play in P.E.
There are many reasons why it is a good game to play. It is fun to play Ultimate because when you run you get a lot of exercise. Also you get to work with a team. Another reason it is fun is you multi-task by running and catching at the same time. In Ultimate you make quick deci-sions. Lastly, you get to throw a Frisbee. Thank you for your time and please vote for Ultimate Frisbee today.

Escape From the TitanicEscape from the Titanic is a great game to
play for choice day. There are many reasons to choose it. For one thing, it helps you learn
teamwork. It is also inside so you don’t get too cold. You also get to use the scooter boards but you usually don’t get to use them that much. There is also no talking so it is not too loud. There are teams too, they can help you win. In conclusion, Escape from the Titanic is a great choice for choice day.
Kayla Philips
Three step Three step with partners is a good game. There
are some very good reasons to play this game. Firstly, this game is very fun. You also have a team. The game is very exciting. You do a lot of running. The best part is that it is a dodge ball game. In conclusion, three step is a fun game.
Nash Caballero
Clean Your RoomClean Your Room is a fun and active
game. There’s a few good things about this game. Clean Your Room is a cool game be-
cause when you get out you’re the judge. I like that you can use hands and feet. The game
takes speed and strengths to play. Pick Clean Your Room because we never
fight. Most of the games we play you sit out forever. In conclusion, please pick Clean Your Room- it’s a lot of
fun.Samuel Dahl
Four Corner SoccerFour Corner Soccer is one of my favorite
games. These are some reasons why I like this game. It is a very challenging game. When your team gets out you can help another team. It is also really good practice for kicking. There is also not much arguing. Instead of two teams there are four. These are the reasons why you should choose this game.
Nathan Dahl
Escape from the TitanicEscape from the Titanic is a great game for
choice day. There are plenty of reasons why this game is a good game. One reason is you use lots of team work. Second of all you get to use scooter boards which most people like. Thirdly, your team gets two jump ropes.
Fourth of all, in the game you get to use five mats. There are two up front, one in the middle, and two in the back. Only five people can be on the middle mat. Finally if you hit a hula hoop you have to go back to the beginning of the game. In conclusion, Escape from the Titanic is a good game for choice day.

Escape from the TitanicEscape from the Titanic is a very challenging game. You will find many good things about Escape from the Titanic. First, there is no talking and that gives it an extra challenging twist. It also makes it impossible to argue with other people like can happen in so many
other games. My favorite part about it is the fact that you get to use scooter boards that so many people love to use. It may seem strange, but the name came from when the Titanic sank. That is a very well-know part of history. My final example for reasons to play the game is the fact that it does not involve running, but strategy. As you can see, this game has many good reasons to recommend it.
Kate Underwood
Ultimate Frisbee The game you should pick for choice day is Ultimate
Frisbee. There are many reasons to play this game, you get lots of exercise, and it is very fun at the
same time and it is very interactive. Every game is five minutes, so you aren’t out for very long. Plus, it teaches you strategies and how to play things out really fast. Clearly, Ultimate Fris-bee is a good game to choose on choice day.
Emma Leigh McKinney
Three Step dodge ball with partners Three-step dodge ball with partners is a great,
energetic game to play. There are a lot of fun things about Three-step dodge ball. One of my favorite things about Three-step is that there are a lot of strategies. Another thing is that Three Step is challenging. One of the rules is that when you have the ball, you can only take three steps. Next, you have partners. That way you have two people always watch-ing your back. Three-step is a game with strategies, exercise, and lots of fun!
Victoria Hawks
Quadra-ball Quadra-ball is a great game. There are tons of
things in Quadra-ball. One thing is you always get a chance to get people out. You can win or lose. It is a lot of fun. Everybody hits people with dodge balls. If you catch a ball, the whole team gets in. In conclusion, I hope we play this game soon.

WHAT’S HAPPENING
In the month of November, the 5th and 6th grade has been enjoying watching salmon eggs hatch into sack fry. On their way to becoming the fry, they’ll be released into the White Salmon River on December 18. The following article by Emma Tiffan describes the field trip that began this exciting unit of study.
This fall, the 5 and 6 grade class is going to be raising salmon from eggs. In order to learn about these amazing fish, they went on a field trip to Spring Creek Fish Hatchery and Bonneville Dam, and Sturgeon Center on the 17 of September.
First off, the 5 and 6 grade visited the fish ladder as the first part of their tour at Spring Creek National Fish Hatchery. A fish ladder is a series of man-made waterfalls that connect the Columbia River to the hatchery raceways. The fish swim and jump up the waterfalls by wiggling their tail vigorously, swimming fast, and jumping.
Next, the second place they went to was the most interesting place in most people’s opinion, the spawning room. The fish are brought to the spawning room on elevators. The fish had already been anaesthetized but now they were killed by electricity in a small box or by a club if the box didn’t work. The tails of the females were cut to bleed them so as not to get blood on the eggs. Then the females are cut open to extract the eggs and each female can produce up to 5000 eggs! The males were squeezed to pour milt on the eggs which fertilized them instantly. The eggs were then mixed in water. Wild salmon and jacks (2 year olds) are sent back to the river while the dead fish are made into fish food and fertilizer.
The incubation room was next on the agenda as the class contin-ued their tour. The eggs from the spawning room were brought to the incubation room and were rinsed in clear water. The eggs are then put in trays with an iodine drip system until they hatch. If the trays are bumped the eggs will die.
Finally, for its many sights and information, Bonneville Dam and Sturgeon Center was the class’s last destination. The class saw the well
known giant sturgeon Herman. The bigger sturgeons were shark-sized and
were much larger than the smaller stur-geon in with them. The class fed the trout,
and was delighted when the ducks nibbled the fish food from their hands.
As you can see, both Spring Creek National Fish Hatchery and Bonneville Dam and Sturgeon
Center are fun places to visit.
