I really can't believe we are in the new year. I am so excited to start another chapter. I al- ways am. Each new year is so full of prom- ise and new beginnings. It's also a time of re- flection. What did you accom- plish last year? What didn't you accomplish? Unfortunately, there are always a lot more things that I didn't accomplish. I backslid on trying to learn Spanish. I never made it on any of those crazy obstacle course shows. My documen- tary is far from done. I haven't finished the King James Version of the Bi- ble yet. I could go on and on, but I won't because I try not to beat myself up. I try to just pick up the pieces and move for- ward. What I did do was, I fi- nally got approval from the state and achieved a huge goal of getting non- profit status for our gym. For this, I am truly grate- ful and elated. As you know, I've been waiting for about a year. Now that it's happened, the real work begins. Re- searching and apply- ing for grants and fund- ing sources. Sounds sim- ple enough, but once you start digging, it seems overwhelming. So many stipulations, it's mind boggling. People are asking me, "Now what?" Well, now I have to do the leg work, which can take several months. It is a tremen- dous learning experience and an exercise in pa- tience which I can always use. I will be sure to keep you updated on our jour- ney. Two of my fighters moved, which saddens me. But we have new blood in the gym. New talented guys and gals training and looking for- ward to their first fights. A couple of hem want to do USA Boxing (amateur boxing), which is my first love, and I am so excited to be a part of that world again. One young man wants to compete in amateur MMA. Plenty of oppor- tunity there. Still others plan on doing some grap- pling tournaments. As for me, I will be content to just train with these war- riors and do some coach- ing. In terms of me and my outdoor adventures, I look at the muddy Sacra- mento River longingly ev- ery day and have to hold myself back from pad- dleboarding down those flooded waters. I do have a taker if I am brave, or stupid, enough — thank you, Shannon. My hubby would probably have a coronary, so for now I have to settle for paddle- boarding on the flooded pond down the street. I had a hard time find- ing any takers, but my buddy, Terri Opdyke owed me one for scaring the crud out of me on her horse last month. It was weird paddleboarding in jeans, but it was still fun. Luckily, neither of us fell in. Back to you and your goals. What are they? What are you doing to achieve them? Even if they are long term, like losing more than 100 pounds or getting your college degree, are you taking a step forward in your journey? Celebrate the little suc- cesses along the way. Give yourself credit for hard work done. Just make sure that no matter how daunting your goal seems, you don't give up before you even get started.

RESOURCES Veterans services and advocacy groups are listed In anticipation of a wet winter, snowmobile and ski routes in Lassen Na- tional Forest are off-lim- its to wheeled vehicles through March 31. In ad- dition, all vehicles with or without wheels are pro- hibited year-round in des- ignated wilderness areas. These restrictions are designed to ensure visitor safety and to protect natu- ral resources. The ruts left by wheeled vehicles in the snow can create hazardous conditions for snowmobil- ers and skiers. In addition, precipitation can soften the ground and roadbeds, increasing the chance of wheeled vehicles getting stuck and causing resource damage. "One reason people get stuck, especially on the groomed snowmo- bile trails, is because the surface looks like a road and is passable when tem- peratures are cold," said Law Enforcement Offi- cer Mike Cone. "But when the ground thaws slightly, or if the vehicle travels off the groomed section, it be- comes high-centered and gets stuck." Violating road and trail closures is not only danger- ous, it can also be costly. It could mean a hefty fine, and violators could also bear the cost of repairing damage to the trails. With 400 miles of groomed trails, conditions permitting, Lassen Na- tional Forest has the larg- est snowmobile trail sys- tem in California. "The past few winters have been disappointing for snowmobilers, cross- country skiers, and snow- shoers," said Dave Hays, Lassen National Forest Su- pervisor. "We are off to a more promising start this season, and we are work- ing to ensure your safety and enjoyment of winter activities on the Forest." While snowmobiling and other winter recre- ation activities can be fun and exciting, Lassen Na- tional Forest reminds visi- tors to be safe and observe the rules of the Forest: Always check the weather forecast ahead of time. Tell someone where you're going and when you'll be back. Never go out alone. Obtain a map of your destination and deter- mine what areas are open to which activities. Wear a helmet, eye pro- tection, and other safety gear when appropriate. Respect the environ- ment and try not to dis- turb wildlife. Always use common sense and courtesy on the trails. A weekly report to keep snowmobilers apprised of conditions will soon be- gin posting on the Las- sen National Forest web- site, www.fs.usda.gov/las- sen, along with Vehicle Use Maps showing roads where wheeled vehicles are seasonally restricted. For more information about the maps, restricted areas, or current conditions, con- tact any ranger district or the Forest Supervisor's Of- fice at (530) 257-2151. Lassen National For- est lies at the crossroads of California, where the granite of the Sierra Ne- vada, the lava of the Cas- cades and the Modoc Pla- teau, and the sagebrush of the Great Basin meet. The Forest is managed for rec- reational access as well as timber and firewood, for- age for livestock, water, minerals and other natu- ral resources.
