Steve Osmond really likes root beer, and Seattle Children’s will be the ben-eficiary of his passion. It all started over the summer with a T-shirt.

The 54-year-old British citi-zen’s jones for the juice is espe-cially legendary among fellow motor heads, even those here in the U.S.

The Triple XXX Rootbeer Drive-in is especially renowned for its root beer — the Coca-Cola Co. makes a specific brew for the Issaquah restaurant that can’t be found anywhere else.

Luckily for Osmond, a vehicle examiner in Minster-on-sea and Sheerness, towns in Kent, England, he had an inside connection to the Triple XXX’s brew — Gary Estes. Estes is a regular at the restaurant’s car shows and also a member of the Hancock and Lane Stock and Comp Eliminator team from Seattle, whom Osmond has known since 1988.

Santa Claus’ many elves in the Upper Snoqualmie Valley speak with One Voice, elves who make the all-inclusive holiday dona-tion program work.

In 2013, these volunteer elves brightened the holi-days of nearly 275 families. But that number, said Stacey Cepeda, activities manager for Encompass, is deceiving.

The bottom line is the One Voice elves touch between 700 and 850 chil-dren’s lives each year.

“It is a big event but businesses and organiza-tions throughout the area make it work,” Cepeda said. “It is a community effort.”

Encompass helps coor-dinate everything. That includes toys and other gifts, clothing, warm blankets and things food stamps don’t cover, such as toothpaste, toilet paper and other personal hygiene items.

The Kiwanis Club, for instance, sets up giving trees where people can drop off new, unwrapped toys. The North Bend Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints provides the space for the Dec. 11 distribution day.

On distribution day, parents will check in. Depending upon the num-ber of children and the ages of the children, they will be given points to use

as they pick out gifts. After they choose the gifts, they then advance to a wrap-ping station so when they leave the LDS ward, all the presents will be gift-wrapped.

One Voice is an efficient way to share during the holiday season, said Laurie Hauglie, of Fall City.

She and her husband Kevin Hauglie set up giv-ing trees in their insurance offices in Fall City and Snoqualmie and accept donations for the project.

Different groups and businesses target items needed for the project.

Items needed include toys, and new and gently used winter clothing, such as hats, gloves, mittens

and coats. One big item is closed-toe shoes, Cepeda said.

One holiday item the groups try to collect is gin-gerbread house kits.

“Each family gets one,” she said. “The kits provide a fun, activity for families to share.”

While everyone, it seems, likes to purchase children’s gifts, one goal is for One Voice to collect gift cards. Those go to seniors and teenagers who often get neglected in the push to provide for younger chil-dren.

“This is a big event for the families that need help,” Cepeda said. “Having only one stop to make helps reduce stress for them.”

One Voice provides holiday treats for Valley familiesGet involved

One Voice donations will be accepted from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays through Dec. 10.

Drop-off spots include:q Encompass Main Campus, 1407 Boalch Ave. N.W.

Families in need can register to participate in the One Voice program by signing up from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 26 or Dec. 3 at the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank, 122 E. Third St., North Bend.

Volunteers needed to plant trees

Volunteers are needed to help replant in the Tollgate Forest on North Bend’s Arbor Day on Nov. 22.

The city is partnering with Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust to plant native evergreen trees to bolster the Tollgate Park and Farm-area Forest.

Historically, the area was filled with giant coni-fers. It is now comprised of cottonwood, maple, alder, cascara and cherry trees.

Volunteers can choose from three time options to lend a hand. The all-day team will work from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; the morn-ing team will work from

9 a.m. to noon; and the afternoon team will work from noon to 3 p.m.

his infrequent visits, because he just knew somewhere inside that he’d created a modest monu-ment there and wanted to share it with his friends.

Naturally.So, back at the ranch bunk-

house down in the valley, he’d studied up on how to roast a turkey: what to put on it, how to thaw it, how to tell when it’s done, all that stuff.

Then he invited his friends for Thanksgiving dinner, up at the cabin. He told each one that he’d be fixing a turkey dinner up there and to come on up and have some fun. And each of them, in turn, asked Steve what they should bring for the dinner.

“Oh, I don’t care,” he’d said, “you know … whatever you’d like, I guess.”

He said that to Doc and Mrs. Doc. And Dud and Emily. And Herb. And Bert and Maizie. And Marvin and Margie. And Mavis at the Mule Barn.

That Thanksgiving Day was a sparkler … crisp sunshine, fall

colors. Oh man, it was great!

And the turkey was in that wood-fired Home Comfort range and looking brown and juicy when the friends started to arrive. They’d each made the consider-able drive up the mountain to the end of the road, then walked in the last 100-yards to the warm and cozy little cabin.

And each of them … every one of them … brought a pump-kin pie.

Turkey and pumpkin pie. Traditional favorites on Thanksgiving.

Strangely enough, after three of the pies had been consumed, there were still some left over.

But hey, that turkey turned out all right. And this year, Steve’s going over to Doc’s and Mrs. Doc’s for dinner.

Mrs. Doc told him to bring biscuits.

Cowboy Steve cooks up a sweet Thanksgiving memory

WEEKLY POLLRetail outlets seem to be pushing holiday shopping earlier and earlier. Have you bought into it? Have you started your holiday shopping?A. I have been thinking about shopping but refuse to make many purchases until after Thanksgiving.B. I love the holidays and have not only started shopping, I’ve started decorating my home.C. I’m done. I’ve been ready for weeks.D. Bah, humbug!Vote online at www.snovalleystar.com.

The scenery here in the Snoqualmie Valley is stunning. Look around at the lush evergreen trees, mountain peaks and rivers.

Despite our worst efforts at building acres of parking lots in the greater Seattle area, the Valley still boasts wild spots and open spaces.

Our neighbors in the big city don’t worry about who will get to our trash first — the garbage collectors or the bears. They also don’t have to fuss about elk nibbling on their flowers.

Thousands of hikers come from afar to marvel at the natural beauty of the Valley. We get to enjoy the wildlife and the magnificent scenery on a daily basis.

That doesn’t mean our area is immune from the incur-sions of civilization.

Take the Tollgate Forest in North Bend as an example.Historically, that land was filled with towering ever-

green trees.So, what was one of the first things our forefathers and

early settlers to the area did? Cut down the big trees to clear land for farming and grazing fields for livestock.

We’ve gotten a bit smarter in the last 100-plus years. We now know that the evergreens help clean our air by provid-ing oxygen and reducing greenhouse gases. They provide shade. They help cool creeks and streams for fish, and filter pollutants from the soil. They provide homes for wildlife.

North Bend city officials and the Mountains to Sound Greenway folks are celebrating Arbor Day on Nov. 22 with a planting day.

Volunteers are needed to help plant evergreens in the Tollgate Forest where scrub trees have taken root. (Evergreens eventually crowd out the scrub growth.)

The partnership with the city and Mountains to Sound will provide the trees and the plan.

All they need is the volunteer labor.As the article on Page 2 describes, you can choose to work

just a few hours in the morning or afternoon, or all day.It is easy to sign up at www.mtsgreenway.org.Your sweat equity will be a good investment in the

future of the Valley and keeping it lush and green.

Thank you for free show honoring veterans

On behalf of the American Legion Auxiliary, I’d like to give a big “thank you” to the North Bend Theatre for honoring our veterans on Veterans Day with the free movie “Battleship.”

Thanks also to all who attended the film and to those who donated toward the care

packages for our troops.We will continue accepting

donations of items and funds for postage until Thanksgiving Day. Please don’t forget that we still have many servicemen and women deployed around the world.

It means more than words can express to those who receive a package filled with items from home along with love and sup-

port.Learn more about our care

packages by calling me at 831-2171 or email [email protected].

Please watch a movie at the North Bend Theatre this holiday season. It is a very supportive business in our community.

Steve will have Thanksgiving dinner over at Doc’s and Mrs. Doc’s this year, and any number of his friends are grateful for that. Steve is one heckuva cow-boy and trainer of young colts, and a good friend to all, but he’d never make it as a dinner host.

Very few Thanksgiving din-ners achieve legendary status, but “Steve’s Thanksgiving” was certainly one of them.

Some said it happened because he’s lived alone and cooked meals for himself for so many years. Some say he has worked alone for so long that he isn’t of a coordinat-ing mind. The answer could be buried in the middle there somewhere. Steve himself isn’t certain.

It all happened early in fall a couple of years ago when Steve completed his cabin up in the mountains here. He’d even finished the turret. In about September of that year, he’d started cleaning the place up on

wanted me to wear this thing at famous places in London and send them back photos of myself wearing it.”

Osmond decided to take the offer to an unexpected level. He brought the shirt with him in July to Lord March’s estate in West Sussex for the Goodwood Festival Of Speed Week, where he has been an invited media member since 2006.

“There is nothing like this event anywhere in the world that it could be compared to. It’s a petrol head’s dream,” Osmond said.

It features top drivers from the racing worlds of Formula One, Indy, Rally, Lemans and NASCAR, just to name a few. So, in between his assigned duties, Osmond hit up 18 of the biggest names in their sports to sign his Triple XXX T-shirt. The list is a who’s who of the racing world:

q Richard Petty — NASCAR

q Dario Franchitti — Indycar

q Max Papis — Indycarq Emerson Fittipaldi —

Indycar and F1q Kenny Brack —

Indycarq Al Unser — Indycarq Mike Skinner —

NASCARq Kerry Earnhardt —

NASCARq John Surtees (British)

— the only driver to ever win multiple motorcycle championships and an F1 Championship

q Paul Stewart (British) — son of Jacky Stewart, three-time F1 champion

q Stirling Moss — famous for winning the most old-timer race events and losing F1 by just one point, a very popular British hero

q Terry Grant (British) — Arena stunt driver

q Jacky Oliver (British) — Lemans winner and for-mer F1 driver

q Emanuele Pirro (Italian) — Former F1 driv-er and five-time Lemans champion

q Karun Chandhok (Chennai, India) — Former F1 driver and now an FIA World Endurance Championship driver

q Pedro de la Rosa (Spanish) — Former long-time F1 driver

q Win Percy (British) Former touring champion and Australian Bathurst winner

q Sam Bird (British) — F1 test driver

Osmond said he dropped a hint to organiz-ers that the idea was for

charity and he was in like Flynn.

“I got special treat-ment because of the cause. They are quite good at times with things like this,” he said. “It was fun, and every person I asked was really happy to help.”

Armed now with quite the unique piece of memorabilia, Osmond didn’t want to just mail it back to Estes and Enciso. So, in September, he boarded a plane and hopped the pond, and the whole continent, for an in-person visit to the Triple XXX.

“José and Gary were knocked away with what I had achieved,” Osmond said. “It was a blast and a privilege to do this for a good cause. But it was quite a responsibility look-ing after the T-shirt, a big worry!”

Enciso plans to keep the shirt safely stored until April when he plans to auction it at a meeting of the Hot Rod Hall of Fame, an event that usually attracts between 600 and 800 members.

“I have no idea how much it will go for,” Enciso said. “Something as amazing as this unique T-shirt should definitely interest all these drivers. Hopefully, it’ll raise in the thousands.”

Snoqualmie Hospital Rehabilitation Clinic offers lymphedema management therapy. We are proud to be the only local provider for this type of treatment. Lymphedema is swelling of a body part, most often the extremities, caused by abnormal accumulation of fluid. It is due to a slowdown in the lymphatic system, which serves as an extensive drainage network to maintain the proper body fluid levels and defend against infec-tions. Lymphedema can be a result of medical conditions that lead to damage of the lymphatic system including radiation treatment for can-cer, venous insufficiency or trauma such as surgery. There is no cure for lymphedema, but the symp-toms can be managed with appropriate treatment. “Many presentations of swelling can be managed with our service,” Kate Hut-ton, Lymphedema Manage-ment Specialist for Snoqualmie Valley Hospital, said. “One of my patients recently told me that nobody

else could tell her what was wrong. She was very grateful for our program and being able to receive the help she needed.” Hutton earned a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Michigan and received a certification as a lymphedema therapist through the Norton School of Lymphedema Management. A certified lymphedema ther-apist is required to complete a minimum of 135 hours of training and is highly quali-fied in recognizing and treat-ing lymphedema. “We started this program at SVH because it was lack-ing in the Valley and we wanted to make it convenient for our residents to receive treatment,” she said. “Our lymphedema program is very effective and can help many people who are seeking relief for swollen limbs.” There are some acute med-ical conditions that are not appropriate for lymphedema management, so it is im-portant for patients to consult their doctor before starting treatment.

Symptoms of lymphedema - Swelling of part of the arm or leg or entire arm or leg, including fingers or toes - A feeling of heaviness or tightness in an arm or leg - Restricted range of motion

Paid Advertisement

Effective treatment for lymphedema

in an arm or leg - Aching or discomfort in an arm or leg - Recurring infections in the affected limb - Hardening and thickening of the skin on an arm or leg

Treatment for lymphedema consists of a gentle massaging technique, called manual lym-phatic drainage, followed by the application of compress wrappings that are worn until the next session. Once maxi-mum fluid reduction is met, patients are measured for compression socks to keep the swelling down. Therapy requires a referral from a primary care provider or oncologist. Controlling the swelling is important as it can become permanent and cause irreversible limb distortions. In addition, other skin condi-tions can develop and the body's defenses are impaired.

For more information about lymphedema therapy, contact the Snoqualmie Hospital Rehabilita-tion Clinic at 425-831-2376.

Lymphedema is swelling of a body part, most of-ten the extremities, caused by abnormal ac-cumulation of fluid.

works show that the com-munity could enjoy.

“Anytime we take any-thing that is combustible and throw it into the air or throw it on the ground, there’s inher-ent risks associated with that,” he said.

However, the chief as well as the council recog-nize that the local culture has a tradition of personal fireworks. To ban them outright may not be the most prudent course of action, they said. The cur-rent potential proposal of banning aerial fireworks only may be a reasonable compromise.

“I don’t think the answer is no. The answer is there is a better and safer way that we could do it,” Correira said.

If the council were to vote to make the changes at the next meeting, the new ordinance would not fully come into effect for one year. Celebrations on July 4, 2015, would not be subject to the new rules.

However, another aspect of the potential change to the ordinance is a change in the fine struc-ture for those who violate the fireworks ban. The new fine structure would not necessarily have a waiting period of one year before being enacted.

Correira expects the City Council will ask for more time to study the proposed changes.

FireworksFrom Page 1 Crouching stalker,

hidden drugsPolice responded at

11:18 a.m. Nov. 8 to the 39000 block of Southeast Epsilon Street to reports of a suspicious person. The caller said a man was crouched behind her truck. The caller was concerned that the man would know she had called the police, so she was speaking quietly. Before long, she said she needed to get off the phone before the man found out.

She wouldn’t give her name or information but just said to send somebody. Police arrived and found the man crouched by the vehicle. He had two misdemeanor warrants, and police found drug paraphernalia when they searched him. The man was booked into the Issaquah Jail.

You have the right to remain silent

Police responded at 6:32 a.m. Nov. 8 to 1546 Boalch Ave. N.W. to a call about two people stealing gas from parked vehicles behind Mt. Si Fitness. The

suspects admitted to the thefts.

Hole in the wallPolice responded to

reports of a disturbance at 10:24 p.m. Nov. 8 to the 7000 block of Pickering Court Southeast. Two people were refusing to leave and one punched a hole in a wall. The people were staying at the loca-tion temporarily. They left while the caller was on the phone and were gone when police arrived. The caller then didn’t want to report the disturbance after they were gone.

Tobacco and cigarsPolice responded at 5:10

p.m. Nov. 9 to the Shell station, 8030 Douglas Ave. S.E., to reports of a theft in progress. A man took some tobacco and two boxes of Swisher Sweets and ran away, using the trail between the gas station and the nearby apartment complex. The caller ran after the man but lost him. The caller said he recog-nized the man and could identify him.

I fall for pumpkin-spiced everything this time of year. Pumpkin-spiced beverages, cook-ies, pies, and soups — they all whisper my name, saying “Taste me, taste me.”

This recipe for Pumpkin Spiced Butterscotch Pudding Parfaits is so good you’ll be lick-ing the spoon and scraping the pan. It’s a sweet alternative to traditional pie if you’re having company Thanksgiving weekend.

Pumpkin Spiced Butterscotch Pudding Parfaits

Pudding ingredients:1 cup powdered sugar1/4 cup cornstarch1/4 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon vanilla extract2 1/2 cups milk3 large egg yolks2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened8 ounces butterscotch chips1 tablespoon pumpkin spice1/2 cup chopped pecans or fun sprinkles (for garnish)

Place powdered sugar, corn-starch and salt in a medium

saucepan. Whisk together to help prevent lumps.

Add milk, vanilla and egg yolks, and whisk again until eggs are fully beaten and all the ingre-dients become one.

Amen!Now, it’s safe to turn on the

burner to medium heat. Whisk occasionally to keep ingredients from sticking on the bottom of the pan. When pudding mixture gets hot, add butterscotch chips and butter. Continue to whisk as the pudding comes to a slight boil. Turn off heat and whisk occasionally until butterscotch chips are fully melted.

Now, whisk in the best pumpkin spice money can buy. Unfortunately, not all spice blends are created equal. I’ve tried some not-so-appealing brands before, so it’s important to find the one that fits your liking.

When well-blended, place a piece of plastic wrap over the pudding so it touches the pud-ding. This prevents a layer of

“skin” from forming on top while it cools.

Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature and then place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

Graham cracker crust ingredients:1 package graham crackers (or nine crackers)6 ounces melted butter

Place graham crackers in a food processor. Process until small and crumbly. Pour in melted butter and continue to process. Press mixture into bot-tom of parfait dishes.

For a pie instead, just press graham cracker mixture into a pie pan, bake for about 10-15 minutes and then cool.

Add cooled butterscotch pud-ding and then whipped cream. Decorate with nuts or your choice of fun sprinkles and chill until ready to serve.

Fourteen students received Black Belts recently at DMW Martial Arts in Snoqualmie.

Third-degree Black Belts were awarded to Veronique and Elizabeth Bourgault. The two have been training at DMW for more than nine years.

“They have been great role models to the younger students,” Dan Cartan, owner and chief instructor of DMW, said in a news release.

Second-degree Black

Belts were awarded to Christopher Buyagawan and Kyle Bolin.

First-degree Black Belts were awarded to Shawn Masters, Trajen Hockenbury, Princeton See, Donavan See, Rudy Herman, Cameron Myers, Alex Williams, J.D. Howard, Branson Corneil and Delanie Wilson.

Cartan explained that few people have the dedi-cation to become a Black Belt. He said it generally requires four years of con-

sistent training to attain the rank.

“We are very proud of our new Black Belts. Their hard work and determi-nation has distinguished them in the community,” Cartan said.

He added that martial arts training is valu-able for children and young adults because it promotes physical fit-ness, self-defense skills, self-confidence, self-disci-pline, concentration and leadership.

Classic case of pineapples More than 2,000 costumed-participants climbed over, through, under and around the 5K obstacle course and raceway of the Winter Pineapple Classic in North Bend Nov. 8. Not only do teams have to face obstacles, but each member also carries a pineapple while he or she is running. The ninth annual event raised an estimated $400,000 to fight against blood cancers. The fundraiser is organized by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Washington/Alaska Chapter.
