Hiking was at the top of the wish list followed by moun-tain-biking and camping for the long-planned Snoqualmie Corridor Recreation area.
More than 2,500 people were surveyed as part of the Washington State Department of Natural Resources planning pro-cess for the 53,500-acre swath of land that runs from Tiger Mountain to the Pratt River and Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River.

Aleida Mejia, of North Bend, struggles to feed her family, relying on the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank to help put food on the table.
Being recently laid off doesn’t help. And Christmas is just a week away.
But this year Mejia can count on Santa Claus.
Thanks to One Voice, Santa Claus will be leaving gifts for her four children on Christmas Eve.
Like the other more than 250 families invited to partici-pate, Mejia went shopping at the One Voice holiday project last week. She left with several presents from Santa for each child, plus some extras — new toothbrushes and toothpaste, a gingerbread house kit and stocking stuffers.

could have been saved if all riders had worn hel-mets.
On average, states with a universal helmet law save eight times more riders’ lives per 100,000 motorcycle registrations annually, when compared
to states without a hel-met law. Even states with a partial helmet law save three times more riders’ lives per 100,000 motorcycle reg-istrations each year.
Youths who most frequently ride ATVs have the lowest consis-tent helmet use. Eighty percent of youths who reported that they had ridden an ATV six or more times in the previ-ous year did not always wear a helmet.
Millions of Americans ride bicycles, but the CDC reports that less than half wear bicycle helmets. Most helmet-less bike riders are older children (14 or older) or adults.
In the U.S. in 2010, there were 800 bicyclists killed, and an estimated 515,000 sustained bicycle-related injuries that required emergency department care. About half were children and adolescents younger than 20. Annually, 26,000 of bicycle-related injuries to children and adolescents are traumat-ic brain injuries treated in emergency depart-

The Pratt and Middle Fork Snoqualmie Rivers Protection Act and 22,000 acres around the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area have been designated wild and scenic river areas in a recent bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives.
The designation, when finalized, will add 10 miles of the Pratt River and about 30 miles of the Snoqualmie to the National Wild and Scenic River System.
Washington state sena-tors and representatives have been working togeth-er for more than five years to protect the area.
The legislation, intro-duced in the Senate by Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) would protect clean water, native trout and world-class outdoor recreational opportunities in the clos-est mountain valley to the greater Seattle metropoli-tan area.
“We are elated to see the Alpine Lakes proposal for new Wilderness and Wild and Scenic River protections pass the full House,” Tom Uniack, conservation director for Washington Wild, said in a news release.
During the current Congressional session, both pieces of legisla-tion were the subject of congressional hearings, and passed through the key natural resource com-mittees and the Senate before being included in
the current authorization bill. The National Defense Authorization Act will now move to the Senate for consideration and final Congressional approval.
According to Wendy McDermott, associate director of Washington Conservation Programs for American Rivers, Washington state only has 200 miles of rivers protected under the Wild and Scenic River Act. The bills, she said, represents a renewed commitment at the national level to pro-tect the state’s wild rivers.
The Illabot Creek, part of the Skagit River Wild & Scenic River System, was also included in the legislation.
The Alpine Lakes and Illabot bills were endorsed by more than 70 local offi-cials and 100 outdoor area businesses, and nearly 150 conservation, recreation, hunting, fishing and reli-gious leaders, according to Rep. Dave Reichert and Murray’s offices.
“The Middle Fork Valley is a place I have been working to restore and improve for the last two decades,” Mark Boyar, president of the MidFORC Coalition and a Jefferson Award-winning activist for his efforts to preserve the Middle Fork Valley, said in the release. “The Alpine Lakes legislation would add lasting protection to this special place that so many people have volunteered to preserve.”

Helmet hair is the mark of a smart rider, of motor-cycles, bicycles or ATVs, according to Eastside Fire & Rescue officials.
They advise making it a habit whenever people get on a bike of any kind.
“It’s really a no-brain-
er,” EFR Fire Chief Lee Soptich said in a news release. “Wearing a hel-met is something so sim-ple, that makes so much difference when things go wrong.”
In 2010, 42 percent of motorcyclists who were
fatally injured were not wearing helmets at the time of the accident, according to the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Helmets saved more than 1,500 riders’ lives in 2010, but about 700 more lives
EFR tells riders to strive for helmet hair
Stay warm and safe with these space heater tips
With the advent of win-ter, space heaters can help keep warm the living area of homes. But if they’re not used and monitored properly, said
Mr. Electric, a national electrical service company, they can be dangerous.
Follow these tips for the safe operation of space heaters:
q Before buying a space heater, be sure it has been safety certified.
q Look for one that automatically turns off if the heater is tipped at a certain angle.
q Check the power cord for burn marks or frays, particularly if you have had the unit for several years.
q Check the heater for dents or damage that may cause it to malfunction.
q Test the on and off switches.
q Set the heater on a level, stable surface at least three feet away from com-bustible items.
q Do not run the heater cords under carpet or rugs.
q Never leave a heater unattended.
q Never let small chil-dren play near a space heater.
q Turn it off and allow the heater time to cool before you move it.

Vaccines are the best way to weather the flu season
Flu and cold season is in full swing, but it’s not too late to get immunized. A flu vaccine is the best way to pre-vent this serious illness which is prev-alent in the Northwest from Novem-ber to April. The sooner you get vac-cinated, the more likely you are to be protected against the flu.
“This year has the potential of be-ing a very challenging influenza year,” Dr. Kim Witkop, Vice Presi-dent of Medical Affairs for Snoqualmie Valley Hospital, said. “It’s not too late to receive your vac-cine. Getting vaccinated now will protect people throughout the flu sea-son and avoid spreading it to others who are at higher risk, such as young children and older adults.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that eve-ryone aged six months and older should receive the annual flu vaccine. Each year, the seasonal vaccine is designed to protect against the main flu viruses that research suggests will cause the most illness.
Unlike a regular cold, the flu comes on suddenly. Symptoms include fe-
“Everyone is susceptible to the flu virus and the best way to pro-tect yourself and your loved ones is to receive the vaccine,” Witkop said.
Flu vaccines are provided at Snoqualmie Ridge Medical Clinic at 35020 SE Kinsey St., Snoqualmie. No appointment is needed. Office hours are from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays.
Vaccines are also available at the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital Primary Care Clinic during nor-mal business hours. Learn more at www.SVHD4.org.
ver, sore throat, dry cough, headache, dizzi-ness and general body aches.
Getting the vaccine is especially important for people at higher risk of developing serious com-plications from the flu, including pregnant women, children younger than 2 years old, people 65 years and older and those with certain chronic medical conditions.
In addition to getting vaccinated, using good health habits can also help prevent spreading the flu to others. Wash your hands frequently, cover your cough and stay home when you’re sick.
If you develop flu-like symptoms, there are prescription antiviral drugs, such as Tamiflu, that can make your illness milder and shorten the time you are sick. See your doctor right away if you think you may have the flu as it is treatable for the first few days only. If you wait, it can take up to three weeks to recover.
Cold & flu season is here!

ment period is still going, all public input should be submitted to [email protected] or to P.O. Box 47015, Olympia, WA, 98504-7015. All com-ments should include the relevant SEPA file number: 14-111901.
Cooper and several other DNR employees said they felt the meeting went very well. They estimated that 75 to 100 people attended.
DNR representatives did a short presentation about the corridor plan overall and then set up several information sta-tions around the room.
People could go from sta-tion to station with their questions.
“It was a really great meeting, and I really love that format,” Cooper said. “It just allows a lot more people to really talk to you.”
The corridor plan pro-cess started in February 2012. The 17-member Recreation Planning Committee, along with the survey, provided input regarding the most appro-priate recreational activi-ties in the area. The com-mittee, along with Cooper, extensively studied the area for a year.
They met once a month, often in the field, in order to analyze wet-lands, critical habitats, soil conditions and other factors. They completed
a suitability analysis and created a number of maps for sustainability and rec-reation.
The Snoqualmie Corridor Recreation Plan is broad. For example, it doesn’t make any deci-sions about specific trails.
Rather, it is a plan for the direction that will guide the DNR’s manage-ment of recreation in the area for at least the next decade.
The citizen informa-tional meeting signals the finalization of the public input process.
But for Cooper, it was a rewarding chance to explain the plan to the people who live in the area. To her, it was a great success.
“It was really nice,” she said. “I really liked it.”

“I’m dead meat, guys,” he said.
We inquired as to why this emotional putrefaction should be setting in, and he said, “I don’t have anything for Anita for Christmas and I have no idea what to get her.”
“Let’s look at this scientifi-cally for a moment,” said Steve. “What kinda stuff does she like?”
“Uh … well … ““You don’t know, do you?”
asked Doc.“Not a clue.”“Does she read? You can pick
up a couple of books.”“I don’t really know.”“Does she knit?”“Beats me.”“I got it,” said Herb Collins.
“You can get her a gift certificate to a store and let her pick out her own gift.”
“She said if I ever did any-
thing so insensitive, she’d brain me with a skillet.”
So Dud headed home, only to find the garage door open and Anita standing there holding his brand-new Homelite XL chainsaw.
He only had time enough to mumble “Our Father…” when Anita set it down gently and flung herself in his arms.
“Oh Honey, how did you know I wanted a Homelite XL with automatic oiler and a 16-inch bar? I couldn’t help myself. I looked in the cupboard and found it. It’s just what I’ve always wanted.”
“Well, darlin’,” Dud said in his suavest voice, “I do try to be sensitive to your needs.”

Time is running out to make significant donations to local nonprofits and qualify for a tax break for 2014. Your checks this month will help make the work easier for these groups in 2015.
Here are the SnoValley Star’s editorial board selections of some worthy places that impact our hometowns:
The Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank — Weekly, the volunteers here provide food for the children, the elderly, the unemployed, the underemployed and the struggling families here in North Bend and Snoqualmie.
This food bank, a 501(c)(3), does more than pro-vide groceries. It is the clearinghouse for resources, able to direct people to agencies that can help with things such as energy bills, rent and medical emergencies. The Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank hosts the Department of Health and Social Services van when it comes to the Valley and it hosts the pet food bank.
Donate at www.snoqualmievalleyfoodbank.org.Encompass — This agency provides children and fam-
ily services through the Valley, Issaquah, Sammamish and the greater Eastside. Services include programs for all chil-dren, including developmentally challenged children, and teaches mothers and dads proper nurturing and parent-ing techniques. The classes alone are fantastic, but when you visit and the preschool classes in progress, you’ll be hooked by its good works.
Donate at www.encompassnw.org.Relay for Life — Every summer, dozens of your
friends and neighbors raise money for the American Cancer Society through a 24-hour community relay. The Snoqualmie Valley group collects funds all year long to help find a cure for cancer.

When it comes to romance, it’s hard to beat ol’ Dud.
He and Anita have been married now for several years, but we’ve never really under-stood why she puts up with him.
“Dud Campbell,” Anita said the other night, “what are you getting me for Christmas?”
“Now Honey, it wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you, would it?”
“That means you haven’t bought it yet, doesn’t it?”
“Well, I won’t say I have and I won’t say I haven’t, but, uh, don’t get in that cupboard out in the garage now…”
“I won’t, Honey,” she said, purring.
Ten minutes later, Dud was flipping his coffee cup upright and sliding into his place in the line of scrimmage at the philos-ophy counter of the Mule Barn truck stop.

Renowned doctors, expert nursing teams, and the latest technology

But there’s another side to being extraordinary that’s just as important. It’s a way of being treated

things for teenagers that include sporting equip-ment, gift cards, makeup and headphones.
Toddler toys are dis-played in one section, preschool toys in another and older children toys in a third.
There’s a table for gingerbread house kits — every family gets one.
Two Mormon young men, serving their two-year mission in the greater Seattle area, are helping. Elder Austin Rowe and Elder Zak Heppler explain that each client receives a punch card listing so many points per child.
The basketball Mejia
picked out for her teenage son cost her one point. Ditto the oversized plas-tic Caterpillar truck for another son.
“Each family also gets a game or puzzle and one stuffed animal,” Heppler said. “They’re free and don’t cost any points.”
Neither do the books. Clients are encouraged to pick two books per fam-ily from the dozens of new children’s and youth books that are set up on bookshelves.
A personal shopper who pushes a shopping cart and explains the guide-lines as they go accompa-nies each client. Kristen Smith, a Spanish-speaking staff member from Encompass, helped Mejia.
It is fun, said the per-sonal shoppers, to watch clients pick perfect gifts
for their children.Such as when Mejia
found a wooden train puzzle.
Her 5-year-old son, she said, likes puzzles and trains but is rough on cardboard puzzle pieces.
The final stop for Mejia and other clients is the wrapping center.
There, volunteers wrap the packages and stash them in black trash bags. Also in that room, pointed out Heppler and Rowe, are the most-coveted toys, including bicycles, a large stuff Olaf (the snowman from the film “Frozen) and a giant Lego Star Wars set.
Clients were given sev-eral tickets to enter into a drawing for the larger items.
The annual One Voice project takes a lot of hours, Peterman said.
“There are only about 30 members in the Kiwanis Club, so we all do a lot of work,” she said. “But this project is impor-tant to the Valley.
“About half the clients who come here don’t work and about half do. But even the ones who work often can’t afford extra things.”
Even after several weeks of intense effort, volun-teers nodded their heads at Peterman’s comments.
“We usually provide Christmas for more than 600 children,” she said. “All our work is worth it to make the holidays happy for our friends and neighbors.”

Despite the electric atmosphere from playing in front of hometown fans on their home court, the Mount Si Wildcats lost in a thrilling, heartbreaker to the Inglemoor Vikings, 58-57.
The Dec. 12 game was a fierce battle with big scoring runs coming from both sides. Ultimately, Inglemoor’s size inside gave it the slight advantage and the win.
“It hurts to lose like that but I’m proud of all these guys,” said Parker Dumas, the 6-foot-5 junior, who had a sensational night.
He finished the game with 14 points, five rebounds, one assist and two steals.
The game was hard-fought from the open-ing tipoff, with Inglemoor looking to use its size advantage in the post early and often. The team dumped the ball down to their big man, 6-8 senior William Luckett, and let him go to work.
“He’s a great ball player,” Dumas said. “His presence was definitely felt during the game.”
Mount Si fought back, with the slightly shorter Dumas trying to contain Luckett.
Inglemoor took a small early lead but the Wildcats closed it to 14-11 by the end of the first quarter.
During the first quarter, Luckett threw down a two-handed standing dunk that sent the visiting crowd into chaos. Shortly after, Dumas barely missed a ferocious put-back dunk. That foreshadowed things to come.
In the second quarter, junior Danny Tomson shot very well, including a few cru-cial 3-pointers to give Mount Si the lead. Tomson finished the game as the high point man with 16 points, three rebounds and one assist.
I “just try to be aggressive, take good shots, get my teammates involved,” Tomson said.
Mount Si went on a run and by halftime the Wildcats were up 30-23.
In the second half, the Wildcats’ hot hand continued.
Early in the third quarter, Dumas went up for a dunk and that time he threw it down with power. The gymnasium exploded. The crowd erupted in a frenzy and Inglemoor was rocked on its heels.
Senior Jonathan “Jo Jo” Hillel and Dumas both defended Luckett on the next play, and
working together, they rejected his shot with authority.
Then Mount Si passed the ball down court for a fast break layup. The crowd’s euphoria kicked into high gear.
“It comes down to being in the right place at the right time kind of thing,” Dumas said. “It did bring a lot of energy.”
The emotion of the game had changed and now Inglemoor was on the defensive, just trying to regain composure in a frenzied, hostile arena.
But Mount Si was too hot and it drained two big 3-point shots before the Inglemoor coach was forced to call a timeout to stop the bleeding. The score was 40-26 with four min-utes left in the third quarter.
“I want to thank all the fans over here. They did a great job, and I love having them,” Dumas said.
But credit goes to the Vikings for not folding then and there. They came out of the timeout ready to hit back, and they did. Using Luckett, Inglemoor was able to close the gap to 46-41 going into the final quarter.
The game was a constant battle with both teams playing with intense passion. Then the Wildcat offense stalled in the fourth quarter. The Vikings were able to regain the lead.
Mount Si scrambled as the clock ticked away. With one minute remaining, Tomson hit a huge 3 to tie, but Luckett answered on the other end.
Then, out of a Mount Si timeout called by head coach Kyle Clearman, Dumas dropped a beautiful move on Luckett in the post for a clutch basket and the tie.
With the game tied and eight seconds remaining, Inglemoor called a timeout.

The Inglemoor Vikings made use of a serious size advantage in their 70-32 win over the Mount Si Wildcats girls basketball team.
The Wildcats fought hard Dec. 12, especially junior Annie Hiebert who was forced to defend opponents much bigger than her.
“She’s a fighter in the post,” said Taylor Bass, the new head coach. “And we need that.”
Sophomore guard
Emma Smith had the team’s high score with eight, including two 3-pointers. Senior Madi Bevens, who plays wing, scored five points, includ-ing one 3-pointer. New player, senior CeOna Duggins also chipped in five points for the night.
It was a tough matchup from the start with the Wildcats being down 30-11 at the end of the first quarter. Inglemoor’s defense forced a lot of turnovers from the Wildcats.
“They’re a good team
and they have some great players,” Bass said.
But despite the lopsided score, the Wildcats never relaxed their intensity. They fought hard against their bigger foe with pas-sion from the tip-off to the final whistle.
“I just try to play hard down low,” Hiebert said, “no matter how big the other girls are.”
At halftime, the score was 41-19 and things only got worse for the Wildcats after the third quarter started. The Vikings opened the second half
with a brutal 10-0 run. By the six-minute mark in the fourth quarter, the score was 65-25.
At that point, the mercy rule was enacted and the clock switched to a run-ning clock for the remain-der of the game.
“It was a tough loss but I’m proud of the way they fought,” Bass said.
The Wildcats are still searching for their first victory in the harsh com-petition of the KingCo 4A league.
They are currently 0-3 on the season.

The Wildcat gymnasts tumbled their way past the Redmond Mustangs in their latest four-team gym-nastics meet.
Mount Si team earned a
score of 159.250 Dec. 11, besting Redmond’s 115.050 and taking their first win in the KingCo 4A league.
“I think the girls did great,” said Jessica Easthope, head coach. “This is our win in 4A, so
it feels really good.”Senior Jenn Rogers had
an excellent showing, tak-ing second place overall. Rogers started slow. She didn’t stick to her land-ing spot on the first two events, vault and uneven
bars. But she rallied with strong performances on beam and floor.
“I feel like I had kind of a rocky start,” Rogers said. “I really shook it off and went up there and did my best, and I’m really proud
of my performance. Then, I ended on floor with my best score.”
Her floor routine earned her first place among all competitors with a score of 9.7. Her beam routine was also excellent. She
scored an 8.5, second place overall.
“I think she’s definitely going to be a force to be reckoned with in the 4A league,” Easthope said.

The Mount Si High School wrestling team has started the season well, and a 46-24 victory at Eastlake Dec. 11 upped the Wildcats’ KingCo Conference record to 2-0.
The dual meet was an abbreviated one thanks to four Eastlake forfeits, one Mount Si forfeit, and a dou-ble forfeit at 106 pounds. But the Wildcats pulled away by winning five of the eight contested matches.
Even though the Wildcats aren’t filling all of their weight classes at the moment, and are giv-ing away some points, success in dual meets is less about team scores and more about individual performances, coach Tony Schlotfeldt said.
“We’re not really wor-ried about the end score on the dual-meet matches as much,” he said. “We defi-

Teammate Samantha Holmes scored just behind Rogers for third place over-all with a score of 32.4. Holmes’ best event was her floor routine, where she scored 9.5, earning her third in the event.
“I want to give a shout out to Samantha Holmes,” Rogers said. “I’m so proud of everyone that com-peted.”
This is Mount Si’s first win in its new 4A league after losing its first match to Bothell on Dec. 4.
For the past six seasons, since Easthope became coach, the Wildcat gymnas-tics program dominated the 3A competition, winning six KingCo 3A titles in a row and putting together two undefeated seasons. After the Bothell loss, the Wildcats came prepared.
“Every single one of my kids came and made improvements this meet,” Easthope said. “So we have only to go up from here. The girls improved on every little thing that I had asked of them, so I feel pretty confident.”
Senior Hailey Johnson also had a strong meet. She scored 8.7 on her floor routine and had a total score of 30.55. She fin-ished eighth overall.
The Wildcat gymnasts will face Woodinville on Dec. 18 at Liberty High School.
Rogers said she and her teammates are ready and waiting to take on the rest of the 4A competitors.
“I have a lot of confi-dence in my team,” Rogers said.

Mount Si’s Justin Edens opened the match against Eastlake by earn-ing an 11-2 major decision over James Jensen at 170 pounds.
The Wolves forfeited consecutive bouts at 113, 120, 126 and 132 pounds, giving the Wildcats a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
Mount Si’s Gunnar Harrison (138) needed only 1 minute, 45 seconds to pin Andrew Collins, and 145-pounder Jack Hamerly
followed with an 11-0 bat-tering of Konrad Peterson.
Mason Marenco (152) had his way with William Galarpe, polishing off a 15-0 technical fall in the third period. And 160-pounder Curtis Olson ended the night by hold-ing off Rogan Kopper for a 7-4 decision.
The Wildcats were shooting for 3-0 in con-ference when they hosted Issaquah Dec. 16 – results that came after press time – but Schlotfeldt indicated they had lots of room for improvement either way.
“We’re not where we want to be yet, but we know it’s a long season, so we don’t want them to burn out before the meat of our season,” he said.
from the post and missed, but the refs called a foul on Mount Si.
The crowd yelled as best it could to dis-tract the big man from his pressure-filled free throws, and it worked for the first one as it bounced out. But Luckett drained the second free throw, putting the Vikings up by a point with only one second remaining. Mount Si tossed up a prayer of a final shot but missed.
Hillel finished the game with three points,
four rebounds and one assist. Senior Ryan Stewart, junior Colton Swain and sophomore Taylor Upton each had five points apiece.
Mount Si is now 1-2 on the season. The Wildcats were expected to face Issaquah in a Dec. 16. The results of that were not available when the Star went to press.
After such an excit-ing game, it was a hard loss to swallow for the Wildcats. But after the game, when asked about what he saw from his team that he liked, Dumas’ answer was simple.
“The fight.”
