Winter came dressed in white last Sunday with light snow blanketing Auburn and much of the Puget Sound area. That snow, however, transitioned to rain early Monday. Light snow throughout the region,
coupled with freezing temperatures, made for some slick roadways. Some sunshine and slightly warmer daytime temperatures were forecast this weekend. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter

[email protected] friend didn’t get to live out his dream. But Daisha Campbell is helping others get
that chance. Campbell, an Auburn Riverside High School
graduate and University of Washington fresh-man, is representing her sorority, Kappa Alpha Th eta, to raise money for Cancer for College through the Miss Greek Pageant.
She drew inspiration to enter the pageant and charitable contest from her late high school friend, Nick Konkler, who succumbed to leuke-mia on Feb. 23, 2015. A self-described “car nut,” Konkler was preparing to attend WyoTech in

Current state law allows up to two retail marijuana stores in a city the size of Auburn, but as of year’s end there was only Th e Stash Box at 3108 A St. SE.
Given the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board’s recent decision to lift the limit on the number of such stores, al-lowing medical patients access to the products they need, however, more may come to Auburn.
Th at possibility is what led the
Auburn City Council on Monday to impose a 12-month moratori-um on the acceptance of applica-tions, permits and licenses for additional marijuana retail stores.
“What’s happened at the state Legislature is that the law has changed,” said City Councilman
John Holman, one of the sup-porters of approving marijuana sales in the City of Auburn. “And rather than be limited to two marijuana retail outlets in the City of Auburn, this kind of throws the fl oodgates open. … Th is gives us time to study; it does nothing
to change the existing businesses that we have right now. It does give us up to a year to consider the implications of how the state law will impact us.”

Just can’t wait to get on the road again.
But unlike old Willie Nelson, Au-burn Valley Creative Arts is downright tired of the highway.
From storefront to offi ce building to downtown mall and more, every few
months or so, the organization of local artists barely has a chance to settle into new digs before time comes to pack it all up again and move on.
Oft en for rent reasons, once for a leaking ceiling.
Beginning in November, artists called Th e Outlet Collection mall home, but as of Jan. 3 that too faded into the rear view mirror.
“Everything is pretty much shutting down,” exhibitor Don Hagen recently said of the AVCA Gallery. “We were there from the fi rst of November to the end of the year. Th ere is talk about fi nding another more permanent home, and a whole bunch of people making decisions.”

Without them, says White River Valley Museum Director Patricia Cosgrove, the museum probably could not operate.
We’re talking volunteer docents. The meeter-greeter-guard-type folks.
Now WRVM has sent out its once-a-year come hither, inviting volun-teer docents and those dreaming of docentry to attend its annual volunteer training, from 10:30 a.m., to 1:30 p.m., Jan. 19 at the museum.
“Each year in January, we provide
half-a-day training with lunch for our volunteers that work in the museum. We review some in-depth informa-tion on our permanent exhibits, and of course we review their work,” Cosgrove explained.
According to Janet Wells, WRVM’s volunteer and facility coordinator, the museum will queue up presentations on all aspects of the museum’s perma-nent exhibits, including the inspiration for the 1924 town scene and those nifty new hands-on exhibits.
Next, Guest Curator Kate Slaminko will provide an introduction to the new temporary show: “Small Bags for Big
Events: 100 Years of Pretty Purses.” Finally, WRV Meducators will
preview 2016 activities at the museum and at the Mary Olson Farm on Green River Road.
Typically, the museum asks volun-teers who complete the training to volunteer for two, three-hour shifts each month.
“If you like people, if you like history, and you want to be here and find out more about what we are doing, it’s the best place to be,” Cosgrove said.
Lunch will be served, but attendees must RSVP the museum by Jan. 13.
Volunteer docents needed at museum GREEN RIVER COLLEGE’S administration building on its main campus in Auburn was under quarantine for several hours on Monday after an employee opened an envelope that contained white powder.
Firefighters from the Valley Regional Fire Authority and a hazard-ous materials team from the Kent Fire Regional Fire Authority responded to the college at about 11:30 a.m. and determined the substance was talcum powder.
No injuries or illnesses were reported.
Allison Friedly, the college’s director of college relations, said an employee in the business office opened the envelope, which had been mailed to the college. It contained a suspicious letter along with the white powder. Friedly said she didn’t know exactly what the letter said because she had not seen it and it had been turned over to a U.S. Postal Service inspector.
Monday was the first day of winter quarter at the college, but Friedly said classes and students were not affected by the incident.
The Renton Fire Department and Auburn Police Department also responded to the incident. – Reporter staff

Amid cupcakes, coff ee and conversation, Don Stevenson turned 80 on Monday and used the occasion to launch his latest charity jaunt – a 1,000-mile benefi t and awareness walk for the Pulmonary Hypertension Association.
“I feel good,” Stevenson, the Pacin’ Parson, said at a birthday celebration with family and friends at Zion Lutheran Church. “I feel just like I did yesterday, but I feel younger inside than I do on the outside. It’s walking, the exercise that keeps me young.”
The retired pastor plans on averaging 100 miles per week – between 20 and 30 miles a day, Monday through Friday – for 10 weeks. Saturdays are set aside for pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients who wish to join Stevenson for walks inside The Outlet Collection mall. Stevenson can be found walking around Game Farm Park each Monday. His benefi t walk will take him to Kent, Sumner, Bonney Lake, Enumclaw, Tacoma, Spanaway and other area trails.
Stevenson will cover the distance with a walker and an oxygen tank to demonstrate the plight of many PH patients. He hopes to complete the walk by March 14.

AT 80, GOING FOR 1,000
FOR THE REPORTER
Drivers should plan ahead for a full closure of eastbound State Route 18 in Auburn, beginning Friday night to Monday morning.
During the closure, contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transporta-tion will replace a por-tion of the roadway near the Green River (Neeley) Bridge, which was severely damaged by heavy rainfall on Dec. 8.
“We’ll need drivers to help keep traffi c moving while we complete this critical safety work,” said WSDOT Engi-neer Mike Swires. “We will see slowdowns on eastbound SR 18 in Auburn as well as on interstates 5 and I-405 as drivers bypass the closure area.”
To repair the damaged roadway, contractor crews must close both eastbound lanes of traffi c at Southeast Auburn-Black Diamond Road. Th e closure will give contractors the space they need to safely remove 500 feet of cracked pavement. Crews will then rebuild the roadway’s foundation, lay down new asphalt and
restripe that section of the roadway.
Before roadway work could begin, contractor crews needed to stabilize the hill-side. Th ey spent the past two weeks installing more than a dozen drains in preparation for pavement repair work.
“We would like to thank drivers for their patience, as fi xing this stretch of SR 18 hasn’t been easy,” said WSDOT Engineer Mike Askarian.
All lanes of eastbound SR 18 will be closed just east of the Green River Bridge from at 11 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday. Th is work is weather dependent. Over-head messaging signs will alert drivers to the closure.
Heavy rainstorms in December saturated the slope beneath the highway, causing the roadway to shift , which caused cracks, up to three inches wide, to form in the roadway.
Th e repairs are estimated to cost $500,000. WSDOT is seeking emergency relief funds from the Federal Highway Administration to cover the cost of the needed repairs.
Eastbound SR 18 closed over the weekend for repairs

Q U O T E O F N O T E : “... If we had all the regulations on marijuana that we have on beer, I think that would be fi ne. But the state is not doing its job. The Liquor and Cannabis Control Board is dragging its feet, spending more time talking about how much money they’ll make rather than how safe they’ll keep us.” – City Councilmember Rich Wagner
A not-so-funny thing happened on the long march to save Washing-ton from the damaging undulations of climate change.
A fi ght broke out among the warriors.
A little jawboning in the summer escalated with a recent
fl urry of verbal punches directed at the campaign to create a carbon tax with Initiative 732, as its leaders turned in the last of 350,000 signatures gathered in sup-port of the measure.
“It’s the culmination of a long journey this year
and the start of a new journey next
year,” said Yoram Bauman, co-founder of Carbon Washington, the group behind I-732. “We’re super excited about what comes next.”
Th at’s going to be months of campaigning to educate voters on its measure to tax carbon emissions from gasoline, natural gas and fossil fuels. It also would lower the state’s retail sales tax, trim the business and
occupation tax and give low-income families a tax rebate. Th e claim is it will be “revenue neutral” for state coff ers.
Th ere’s going to be opposition. But the loudest opponents may not be in the ranks of climate change de-niers but among those in a coalition

Enough: vote no on school levy
Just read the letter from Harold Valentine (“Support our schools, vote to replace levy”, Auburn Reporter, Dec. 25).
Are you kidding me?My property taxes are so
high now that the luxury of living in a house is almost pro-hibitive. I've been in my home for 20 years and my house payment is higher than when I purchased it.
Th e problem is taxes, and you want to encourage folks to vote for the replacement levy on Feb. 9? You say it will not increase school taxes. Don't you mean property taxes?
All I know is that I paid more than $4,000 in 2015 in property taxes and my month-ly house payment is increasing $50 a month in 2016. I was told that the majority of tax assessment is for schools.
I think it's time the govern-ment did its job and eased the
burden on ordinary citizens. I say no to more money for
schools for anything.– Jeanne Herold
Control your health, eat right
Must we really resolve to improve our diets or exercise
routines in the New Year, in order to increase longevity or improve quality of life?
Unfortunately, gun violence and traffi c accidents are still the leading causes of death among young people. Fortu-nately, however, our fork – yet another deadly weapon – is within our own control. Well, more than a million of us are killed each year by high blood pressure, diabetes, heart dis-ease, stroke, cancer and other chronic diseases linked to our meat-based diet.
So how exactly are we in control? According to Gal-lup, more and more of us are choosing to avoid meat (22 percent) and also dairy prod-ucts (12 percent). Supermar-ket chains, along with Target and Walmart, off er a growing selection of delicious and healthy plant-based meats and dairy products. Animal meat consumption has dropped by 8 percent in the past decade.
No bones about it: editor is a foolish fossil
I was at the Journal of San Juan Island newspaper offi ce last week and noticed one of the top 10 stories from 2015 was the dis-covery of a dinosaur bone on Sucia Island.
Th e Burke Museum, where the bone is lounging, noted in a release that it is the left thigh bone of a Th eropod, a two-legged, meat-eating ruffi an like Tyrannosaurus Rex. In other words, this was no vegan hoofer.
Th e museum also pointed out that the bone was about 80 million years old. I was all zippy to read that. Finally, the science guys found something older than me.
Th e story did fi re a few synapses, which kind of hurt.
I imagined that one day in a far-off galaxy, a scrubbed paleontolo-gist with multiple ears will be examining a bag of twisted bones in his laboratory. Th e ears guy will likely have found the
bones while visiting Earth and strolling on Loony Island.
Aft er a bunch of months looking through itty-bitty reading glasses, the many ear-lobes guy will come out and authoritatively tell a room of other guys with lots of ears, “Th ese are the bones of a newspaper editor.”
Beings with spiky-pink hair and horn-rims will look at each other and ask, “A what? Is it human?”
“Probably not,” the scientist with excellent posture will tell them. “Although we are not sure what he really was. It appears from his thumb and forefi nger he was an incessant whiner with no hair.”
One of the spiky-pinks will ask, “What did he do for fun?”
“As far as we can tell, nothing. He appar-ently drank large amounts of a buttermilk. No one is sure what the stuff is or why any-one would consume it. We theorize he used it to try to grow head hair.”
Th ese scientists will also have crazy theorems that can’t be right, like our

scientists spinning stories about evolution or global warming … hmmfff.
Mr. Ears continues, “Amazingly, this buttermilk stuff apparently preserved this near humanoid for some 80 million years. Maybe it was used to preserve him for the study of devolved goofballs. We suspect he squinted at something a lot, maybe one of those things known as computer screens. Comput-ers were very common at that time. Humans actually believed they worked. We are not sure why.
“We cannot really find much use for this editor other than aggravating real humans. He apparently spent time observing politi-cal races, which we think may have caused his extinc-tion, or he was run over by an iceberg.”
I think I will take a trip to Burke Museum and check out the dinosaur and spend some time wondering what the heck he was doing on Sucia Island. Probably look-ing for a snack, or a nice cool class of buttermilk.

[ BOX from page 5 ] of environmental, labor and progressive groups.
Leaders of the Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy, with a 30-person steering committee and roughly 150 groups as members, had been trying for months to get I-732 supporters to stand down and join them with a different approach they thought would fare better with voters.
That approach would involve capping emis-sions, collecting a fee from emitters and spreading that dough around to clean
energy and community-building projects.
CarbonWA support-ers decided not to join them partly because their offering had not been fully refined.
“Our approach was to come with a great policy and bring people together to support it,” he said. “Their approach has been to bring a bunch a people around the table and come up with a policy they can all agree upon. And they are finding that to be challenging.”
The alliance brain trust is now debating – and polling – its options.
Three stand out: Do nothing, craft a measure to complement I-732, or push ahead with a competing measure.
Not going forward is an absolute possibility, if there is no clear and surmount-able path to winning, alli-ance members said.
When voters are faced with competing items on a ballot, they tend to turn both down. Alliance members are frustrated I-732 forces don’t see the potential damage to their cause in losing as much as they do.
If the alliance proceeds, its members would need to
spend as much time talk-ing up their proposition as they have been talking down I-732.
That won’t be hard, as they’ve been lobbing verbal jabs for a while. And recently, they latched onto a state Department of Revenue analysis they claim shows the initiative won’t be “revenue neutral” but actually cause the state to lose money over time.
Adam Glickman, secretary-treasurer of Service Employees Inter-national Union Local 775 and an alliance steering committee member, called
it a “poorly written” and “deeply flawed” initiative that will drain valuable dollars from the state, treasury without forcing major polluters to reduce carbon emissions.
“Big Oil is dancing in the streets over this,” he said.
Bauman offered a robust rebuttal to the economic analysis, saying the model and assumptions used by legislative staff didn’t accu-rately reflect the measure.
“We believe that further analysis by the state will show that the measure is revenue neutral, or very close to it,” he said.
“We think I-732 is a ter-rific policy,” he said. “Fossil fuels will cost a little bit more and everything else will cost a little bit less and that’s how we’re going to save the world.”
We’ll see what Washing-ton voters think about that next fall.

Hundreds of school, college, hospital and corporate cafeterias have embraced Meatless Monday and vegan meals. Fast-food chains like Chipotle, Panera, Subway, Taco Bell, and White Castle, are rolling out vegan options.
Our own New Year’s resolution can easily be about empowering ourselves with plant-based entrees, lunch meats, cheeses, ice creams and milks, as well as the more traditional green and yellow veggies. Recipes and transition tips are easy to find online.– Sal Sucher

noted that as the Auburn Planning Commission did when the City Council approved marijuana sales in Auburn, it will conduct public hearings while the City is moving through its process.
“As things in some respect become a moving target at the state Legisla-ture, it gives us in the City an opportunity to step back and take a wider-eyed look at this, to look at the impacts that are going to occur in the city of Auburn and what that means for everybody who lives here, works here, and comes into our town,” said DaCorsi.
Councilman Rich Wagner did not hide his frustration with the state.
“I’d encourage citizens to contact their legisla-tors and tell the state to get their act together. … I personally think that marijuana is no worse than beer, and if we had all the regulations on marijuana that we have on beer, I think that would be fi ne. But the state is not doing its job. Th e (Washington)
Liquor and Cannabis Control Board (WSLCB) is dragging its feet, spending more time talking about how much money they’ll make rather than how safe they’ll keep us.”
Dana Hin-man, director of administration for the City of Auburn, said staff wants to ensure that City regulations and codes are able to handle additional stores.
In a press release Dec. 16, WSLCB Director Rick Garza said the goal of the new regulations is to allow more storefronts for patients than are available today. He added that quali-fi ed patients may “grow their own” or join a four-member cooperative.
Th e WSLCB will deter-mine the number of retail locations via a method that distributes the number of locations proportionate to the most populous cities within each county and to accommodate the medi-cal needs of qualifying patients and designated
providers. Locations not assigned to a specifi c city will be at-large.
WSLCB will increase the number of available licenses in the 10 counties with the highest medi-
cal sales by 100 percent. Among the exceptions are Yakima and Benton counties, which have bans and mor-atoria in all major population centers. Th e increase will transfer to the next
two highest for medical needs, Skagit and Cowlitz counties. Th ose counties and jurisdictions that are not in the top 10 for medi-cal sales will receive an increase of the number of licensees by 75 percent.
Here is a rundown of events that have brought matters to the present push:
In 2015, the Legislature approved and Gov. Inslee signed the Cannabis Pa-tient Protection Act, which
directs the WSLCB, the state Department of Health and other agencies to draft regulations integrating the medical marijuana mar-ketplace into the tightly-controlled recreational marketplace.
Th e state agency started accepting applications for new retail license on Oct. 12, 2015, giving priority to existing medical outlets. All medical marijuana dispen-saries must be licensed by July 1, 2016 or face closure.
Th e WSLCB expected to announce new emergency rules on Jan. 6, 2016 and to publish the allocation of retail licenses it had determined on its website at lcb.wa.gov.
Th e WSLCB is charged with licensing retail ap-plicants using a priority-based system. First-priority applicants are those who applied for a marijuana retail license before July 1, 2014, operated – or were employed by – a collective garden prior to Jan. 1, 2013,
have maintained a state and local business license, and have a history of paying state taxes and fees.
Second-priority appli-cants are those who oper-ated – or were employed by – a collective garden prior to Jan. 1, 2013, have maintained a state and local business license, and have a history of paying state taxes and fees.
Th ird priority applicants are those who don’t meet the fi rst or second criteria.
As of Dec. 16, the WSLCB had received 1,194 retail applications. Of those who applied, 39 were determined as priority one and 42 as priority two.
Applicants must still meet all other WSLCB licensing criteria before being licensed.
In addition to new retail licensees, 70 percent of existing retail recreational marijuana stores have re-ceived an endorsement on their license to sell medical marijuana.

Members are keen to assure everyone that the gallery will pop up again in 2016 with new art, in a new location.
Ears perk up at news of the City’s pending acquisi-tion of the old Post Offi ce/Public Health building on Auburn Avenue next to the theater, but that, Hagen said, “is a bit up in the air.”
Th e City of Auburn late last year submitted a letter of intent to purchase the building from King County. Should the King County Council approve the deal – and it is expected to do so early in 2016 – the arts divi-sion of the Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation Depart-ment will occupy most of the space.

Sacramento, Calif., where he would learn the skills to pursue his dream job of fabricating automobile parts, at the time of his death.
Campbell and Konkler were honored as homecoming king and queen when they were Auburn Riverside seniors.
“Nick had the incredible abil-ity to connect and inspire those around him,” Campbell said. “The Auburn community came together in support of Nick and has also mourned a great loss since his passing. With Nick in
mind, I decided to take on the challenge of raising money for a wonderful cause that gives back to young adults who have fought similar battles. Nick has inspired me, and I hope that he can inspire the community as well to rally in support of the amazing cause Cancer for College presents.”
As of Dec. 28, the effort had raised about $1,500, with hopes of ultimately reaching $15,000 by the April deadline, Campbell said.
All proceeds go to Cancer for College, which, according to its website, has awarded $2 million in scholarships since 1994 “to help those individuals who have been
adversely affected by cancer and help them realize their dream of a college education.”
When Campbell learned about the Miss Greek Pageant after her arrival at UW, she thought about how she could make an impact. The business major made her proposal with College for Cancer in mind. She was selected to represent Kappa Alpha Theta in November.
“It’s a really unique charity,” Campbell said. “I think it’s a cause that goes unnoticed sometimes. It’s such a burden and a hardship for families.”
For Campbell, it has been a
learning process. She wants to pursue a career in medical sales, and says the endeavor has helped her.
“It’s really forced me to market myself and talk about what I’m doing,” Campbell said. “That’s really helpful. If I ever want to get into marketing, that would be really helpful.”
But for now, it is a project to memorialize her friend.
“I would just love for people in the Auburn community to know that Nick was the inspiration for doing this,” Campbell said. “It’s all about raising money. The pageant is just the fun part.”
The Miss Greek Pageant, one of the largest student-held philanthropic events at the UW, celebrates its 30th anniversary in April. The pageant – hosted by UW’s Delta Tau Delta Fraternity – benefits Cancer for College. Contestants from multiple sorori-ties that vie for the Miss Greek title by competing in several categories, including fundrais-ing, talent, philanthropic services and community awareness, and personality.

(StatePoint) You want the best for your kids. As role models, parents and caregivers play a vital role in children’s health -- teaching kids about healthful foods and making sure kids get enough daily physical activity.
More than one third of children and adolescents are overweight or obese, according to recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics. But childhood obesity, which is associated with elevated risks of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, bone and joint problems and sleep apnea, amongst other adverse health effects, can usual-ly be prevented.
“With just a few tweaks to menus and schedules, families can better focus on the importance of health-ful eating and active lifestyles,” says Marina Chaparro, registered dietitian nutritionist and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
To help, Chaparro is offering parents and caregivers tips as part of Kids Eat Right that they can use to promote healthy habits.
• Shop smart. Get your children involved in selecting the food that will appear at the breakfast, lunch or din-ner table. Be adventurous by picking a new food every week.
• Cook healthfully. Involve your children in the preparation of all meals with age-appropriate tasks. Getting your kids involved helps teach them about food, and may entice them to try new foods they helped prepare.
• Eat right. Breakfast is a critical meal. Make sure no one in the family skips it -- including you. In the eve-ning, sit down together as a family to enjoy dinner and the opportunity to share the day’s experiences with
one another. Research indicates that families who eat together have a stron-ger bond, and children have higher self-confi dence and perform better in school.
• Plan wisely. When planning meals, start by fi lling half the plate with fruits and vegetables, choosing low-sodi-um options. Make sure at least half
the grains your family eats are whole grains. For beverages, choose water over sugary drinks, and opt for fat-free or low-fat milk. Also, be mindful of appropriate portion sizes.
• Get moving. After meals, get mov-ing together. Aside from being a great way to spend time together, regular physical activity strengthens muscle and bones, helps to achieve a healthy body weight, supports learning. It can also help develop social skills and build self-esteem. Kids are encouraged to be active for 60 minutes per day.
• Consult an expert. A registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) can deliver the highest level of nutrition counsel-ing. Consider consulting an RDN to ensure your family is getting needed nutrients with a meal plan tailored to your family’s lifestyle and busy sched-ule. To search for an RDN in your area and to fi nd more healthful eating tips, recipes and videos, visit KidsEatRight.org.
As a parent, you are highly infl uen-tial, and habits formed early on could potentially last a lifetime. Take steps to steer kids to a path of good health.

(StatePoint) Frequent travelers can be all too familiar with the challenges of staying both healthy and productive -- countless distractions, fast food joints on every corner and diffi culty sleeping in unfamiliar places and beds can make staying on track a challenge. However, it doesn’t necessar-ily have to be such a daunting task, say experts.
“For frequent travelers and business travelers, being on the road is a lifestyle, so fi nding ways to be healthy and productive is essential,” says Marcey Rader, lifestyle trainer and Extended Stay Savve Traveler. “The key is to recognize your poor habits, fi nd out what works for you, and then develop a routine around them.”
From her years on the road with a cor-porate position, Rader developed a series of hotel hacks that can assist frequent travelers and mobile professionals wishing to travel productively while also main-taining high health standards. Along with Extended Stay America, Rader is offering some hotel tips and tricks:
• Prioritize sleep: When you’re dealing with different beds, sounds and schedules, it’s almost guaranteed that your sleep routine will be disrupted. Sleep soundly with a fan, a recording or even an app that creates white noise to eliminate distrac-tions and calm your mind and body.
• Give blue rays the boot: Ninety-fi ve percent of people who don’t get a good
night’s sleep say they use a phone or laptop within one hour of bed. Studies have shown that the blue rays emitted by phones and computer screens disrupt and suppress the body’s production of mel-atonin, a hormone crucial to sleep. Give your brain time to wind down before bed, you’ll sleep better and feel rejuvenated in the morning.
• Stand up and work: You may have heard that “sitting is the new smoking.” Constant sitting is linked to an over-whelming number of negative health
effects and drastically decreased produc-tivity. Luckily, there’s a simple solution -- standing. You can easily convert any space into a standing desk. Opt for a hotel with a kitchen and use the counters to get work done, or stack books and binders on a table for an elevated workspace.
• Don’t eat like you’re on vacation: The biggest mistake business traveler’s make is eating like they’re on vacation. Extend-
ed Stay recently conducted a survey of their travelers and found that the average weight gain while on the road is close to 3 pounds. With frequent travel for business, that starts to add up drastically. Staying at a hotel with a fully equipped kitchen can help maintain nutritious habits. Stock the fridge with vegetable trays to snack on throughout the day, and hard boiled eggs as a breakfast item.
• OHIO (Only Handle It Once): Do you go out to your mailbox, open the letters, put them back in the mailbox, go back in your house and repeat the process several times a day? Of course you don’t. Then stop doing that with your email inbox. Instantly increase productivity by deleting, archiving and sorting emails the fi rst time you read them.
• Seek Smart Accommodations: An ex-tended stay-style hotel offers amenities that can help travelers optimize productivity and prioritize health. To learn more travel tips, visit, www.ExtendedStayAmerica.com.
Stop making excuses. For happier, healthier, more successful traveling, rec-ognize your unproductive habits and fi x them.

RN Roach lifts her Olympic dreams higher
Th e improbable tale of Melanie Roach and her Olympic-sized dream continues to grow and evolve, getting bigger and better with each passing chapter.
At an age when most world-class athletes are comfortable spinning hazy yarns of their glory days, the Auburn High School graduate and Bonney Lake resident continues to push the boundaries of strength and endurance. As many as six days a week, she can be found hoisting heavy metal in her renewed quest to stay on the world stage.
Roach is a weightlift er. And so much more.
For those who follow such things, the Roach name is well known and well respected. She was the fi rst American woman to clean-and-jerk more than double her body weight; she earned a bronze medal at the 2007 Pan American Games and represented the United States at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, setting records on the way to a sixth-place fi nish on the world’s grandest stage.
Th at appeared to be her ultimate moment, the culmination of years of hard work, perseverance and recuperation from injury. Th ere was no formal announcement of retirement from competitive lift ing, but Roach – who turned 41 this week – returned home and settled into an already-busy life: she’s a business owner, overseeing Roach Gymnastics in Sumner; she’s mar-
ried to a husband with a demand-ing job of his own; and then there are the children. She and husband Dan – an elected member of the Pierce County Council, who previ-ously served in the state legislature - had three kids at the time of the Beijing Olympics, a brood that has now grown to fi ve, ranging in age from 4 to 14.
So, how does a busy mom/wife/
entrepreneur fi nd herself once again jetting off to weightlift ing competi-tion where she shares the stage with athletes perhaps half her age?
Th e condensed version goes like this: taking delivery of a new set of weights, Roach was again hooked by the feel of the steel, even the smell of metal plates. Still training a few times a week for personal and business reasons, she was encour-
aged by business partner Chelsea Herzog to resume competitive lift ing.
Having posted some impressive numbers at the 2014 American Open, Roach then received a call from a representative with USA Weightlift ing, a summertime call that came out of the blue and changed her life. Th e July call came on Friday and posed a series of questions: could she be in Toronto in three days, could she make the required weight, and could she post the type of results shown in recent competition? She was being asked to participate in the Pan-Am Games, one of the qualifying events for those hoping to advance to the U.S. Olympic Trials.
“It really was a miracle that I even received the call,” Roach says, explaining that several competitors ahead of her had to withdraw for a variety of reasons.
But the Toronto experience opened the door to a world of pos-sibilities. Roach involved her im-mediate and extended family in a discussion, and the choice was clear – she would dedicate the coming months to seeing how far she could travel in the world of weightlift ing.
She calls it “restructuring my commitment.” And it involves her mother moving into the Roachs’ Bonney Lake home to lend a hand with the child-rearing duties while Herzog takes full responsibility of the business.
Since Toronto, she has been in

In 1957, Kay and the family relocated to Washington, where they became well-known and respected members of the community, helping to found Lake Washington United Methodist Church in Kirkland and singing in the choir. Later, she would be a member of Auburn First United Methodist Church for over two decades, where she continued to sing and serve community supper with joy.
Kay will be remembered for her quiet grace, Midwestern hospitality, homemade crafts and world-class baked goods. She is survived by four children, nine grandchildren and two great-
children.1500245

Wayne W. LovejoyWayne W. Lovejoy, a resident of
Auburn, WA passed away on January 3, 2016 in Auburn at the age of 82. He was born on January 22, 1933 in Oconto, WI to Leland and Edna (Collins) Lovejoy.
Wayne grew up for a few years in Wisconsin before the family settled in the Portland, OR area. In 1950, Wayne joined the United States Navy, and served during the Korean War. Soon after his honorable discharge in 1953, he moved to Washington where he later started his
career at Boeing as a plater, where he chrome and nickel plated parts for the airplanes. He worked at Boeing for nearly 40 years before his retirement in 1993. He was a proud member of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers for the past 45 years. In 1980, Wayne married Nancy Norling Smith, and they enjoyed their 35 year marriage together.
Wayne was preceded in death by a sister Shirly Blankenship and his son Eugene Lovejoy. He is survived by his wife, Nancy Lovejoy of Auburn; his son Dwayne Lovejoy of Bonney Lake; his daughters Lori Clarke of Tacoma and Nancy Ellis of Auburn; his step-children Ramona Fritz of Ellensburg, Katherine Kastning of Ellensburg and Linda Maw of Auburn; his half-brother David Wasson of North Pole, AK; his sisters Helen Foster of Woodland and Retta Christine Hunt of McMinville, OR; 12 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.

full-time training mode. That means trips to Redmond most days, so she can train with coach Michael Street at his Fulcrum Training Hall.
“I’m still climbing back up to my personal best,” Roach notes, figur-ing she’s about 90 percent of the way toward matching her Beijing perfor-mance.
That proved plenty good earlier this month, when Roach headed to Reno, Nev., and the U.S. American Open Championships. There, she estab-lished American Masters records in the snatch (167 pounds), the clean-and-jerk (222 pounds) and combined
total (389 pounds).Those records might be nice, but
Roach will not be defined by age. “I don’t think of myself as Masters,” she said, allowing that the descriptive phrase “vintage” might be more to her liking.
In the end, she maintains, “age will not limit me.”
Still, the years cannot be ignored. Of the 955 athletes in Reno, only three were older that Roach. Considering her competition, she freely admits, “I could be their mother.”
But the question of age is certainly nothing new. When Roach arrived at the Beijing Olympics she was 33, already fielding questions about com-
peting at an advanced age – advanced, that is, in the world of Olympic sports.
Based on her recent success, Roach has been invited by USA Weightlifting to a Feb. 19 competi-tion in Philadelphia.
Following the February event, the top 15 women in the country – as determined by a complex formula – will be selected to take part in the Olympic Trials. The chosen 15 will be from across the seven weight classes making up the women’s sport.
The Trials are set for May 4-6 and will determine the team making the trip to the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Auburn Mountainview remains undefeated
Auburn Mountainview boys basketball coach Thomas Ostrander preaches a simple mantra: play strong defense and execute on offense.
And when his Lions are successful in both phases, they make the game look easy.
That again was the case Tuesday as Auburn Moun-tainview returned to South Puget Sound League 3A play with its most lopsided victory of the season, 72-28, at Lakes.
One statistic that stood out during the first half, as the Lions built a 42-11 lead at intermission, was turnover ratio. Auburn Mountainview had a 12-2 advantage in that category through the opening 16 minutes.
“Possession in any game is huge,” said Ostrander, praising senior point guard Robbie Wilson’s leadership on the court. “You don’t
give yourself an opportu-nity to score if you turn the ball over.”
But that was not the only reason why the Lions (10-0 overall, 5-0 league) domi-nated the contest. Consider that Auburn Mountainview converted 5-of-11 3-point-ers, while the Lancers were just 2 of 14 from beyond the arc.
“We played really, really good team basketball,” said senior guard Ryan Lacey, who scored a game-high 23 points. “We moved the ball around. We passed up good shots for great shots. It’s something we do together really well because we’ve played together for so long.”
Lacey is among eight seniors on the Lions’ roster, and he played football with several of them during the fall. That has bred famil-iarity among the players, but Lacey said the team’s chemistry is even better since the Lions played in a tournament Dec. 28-30 in Ketchikan, Alaska.
“Team chemistry was a big thing. Hanging out with the same guys for five days straight, you really bond,” said Lacey, adding that the team did some sightsee-ing of the town and visited scenic viewpoints during the trip. “That always plays well on the court when you can trust each other. When you can trust each other on the court, that opens everything up.”
Ostrander, who is in his second year at Auburn Mountainview, agreed that the experience was beneficial.
“I think we learned a lot about each other,” he said. “We got to spend a lot of time together, and we just improved. We’re excited to take that into the rest of league play.”
That started with Lakes (4-7, 2-3). Ostrander said he wanted his team to contain standout Lancers’ guard Rakeem Hughey, who was limited to five points. The Lions used mul-
tiple defenders on Hughey, but senior Ki’Jan Weisinger handled most of the duties.
“He’s a lock-down de-fender,” Ostrander said of Weisinger.
Auburn Mountainview will need more of that as the Lions host Peninsula (10-0, 5-0) at 7 p.m. Friday in a showdown for first place in the SPSL 3A.
ElsewhereAt Peninsula 62, Auburn
Riverside 42: The Ravens struggled to contain future Oregon State guard JaQuori McLaughlin, who was among four Peninsula players to score in double figures. Quintin Bethea’s 16 points led Auburn River-side (7-4, 3-2).
Sumner 62, at Auburn 59: Malik Williams and Tyler Pray combined for 39 points, but the Trojans’ rally fell short in an SPSL 3A contest. Patreon Lee also added 11 points for Auburn (7-3, 2-2). Seth Carnahan’s 16 points led Sumner (6-3, 1-3).

Leslie Perez was determined to make a boy’s wish come true.
Perez, a humble and warm-hearted 16-year-old sophomore at Auburn Mountainview High School, saved up enough money from babysitting to buy a bicycle for the boy, whose family has struggled with homelessness. Th e
boy’s mother, who has been a guest at the KentHOPE Women and Children’s Day Center, re-quested the bike for her son.
“When I saw the wish list at my church I wanted to help,” said Perez, whose family attends HighPoint Church of Kent. Th e congregation, which meets at Mill Creek Middle School, supports
the day center, having donated meals to the home.
Th e Perez family, who live in Pacifi c, delivered the $80 moun-tain bike to the boy and other gift s to the family in need during the holiday season.
“Awesome,” Cindy Perez said of her daughter’s gesture. “She doesn’t always say it but she has
The Perez family, ‘Dre, Leslie and Cindy, gave back to those in need during the holiday season.

the heart of giving.” “She even asked us for
permission to do it,” said Leslie’s father, ’Dre Perez.
Sam Pace, a family friend who attends the same church, said Leslie is an amazing young lady who is willing to help and make a diff erence in the lives of others.
“Leslie doesn’t have a lot of money, so what she did says a whole lot about the kind of person she is,” Pace said. “It also says something that she gave away a brand new bicycle rather than keeping the new one for herself and giving away her old bike.
“Leslie has a heart for helping people. Her gift of a bicycle was not a surprise to folks who know her,” Pace added. “In fact, the week before she purchased the bicycle, she showed up at an outdoor event to help homeless folks in down-town Kent. It was a really cold night. Th e weather was brutally nasty, with hard rain and sleet blow-ing sideways at times. But Leslie was there, helping to provide hot food, clothes and supplies – and her tremendous smile – to brighten the lives of folks on the street.”
