Last show for outdoor theaters?

Development plans may replace Valley 6 Drive-In

By ROBERT WHALE

rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Drive down South 277th Street at dusk on a summer night and look to the left – there’s no missing the big outdoor screens of the Valley 6 Drive-In Theaters and their flickering images.

But the passersby also can glimpse near-empty parking lots and the occasional screen in need of a patch job. Close up everything from the office to the entrances and exits shows the unmistakable signs of hard wear and long habitation.

The heyday of the great American drive-in passed in the 1970s, but until now the Valley 6 has endured.

In October, the Valley 6, one of only six of its kind remaining in

Candidates debate Tuesday

An ordinance and a development agreement between the owners of the property, the Robertson Properties Group, and the City of Auburn regarding redevelopment of the site is making its way through the various City subcommittees to an up-or-down City Council vote this fall.

‘Walking Dead’ artist scores Emmy Award

For hard-core Zombiephiles, watching gory gobs of the oughta-bedead-but-aren’t is big stuff.

Kevin Wasner, a special makeup and prosthetic artist on AMC’s show “The Walking Dead,” delivers on the

big-time grossout – chopped, axed, dismembered, decapitated or just bumbling along in that good-old zombie way, pick your undead.

Wasner, an Auburn native and 1991 Auburn High School graduate, does it so well he recently won an Emmy for prosthetic makeup on the hit show.

“An out-of-body experience, a very surreal night,” Wasner said of the awards ceremony, by phone from Atlanta, where “The Walking Dead” is in production. Wasner didn’t even know he’d been nominated until a month before the ceremony. [ more wasner page 19 ]

Cat reunited with family after 3 years on the loose REPORTER STAFF

Thanks to a special microchip, long-lost Oscar came home to his family.

The shelter-adopted domestic shorthair cat, with black-and-white tuxedolike fur features, disappeared three years ago from his Auburn home.

“We let him go out during the day, but he always comes home at night,” said Sherrie Fox, who lives

www.auburn-reporter.com with her husband, Greg, on Lea Hill. “So when he didn’t come home one night, we figured he must have prowled out longer than he does.”

Oscar never returned. Fox feared the worst.

For months, a determined Fox visited the King County Pet Adoption Center in Kent almost daily looking for him. There was some hope. A microchip had been inserted in Oscar five years ago when the Fox family adopted him.

That microchip ultimately led to a reunion last Thursday. The Regional Animal Services of King County made it possible.

King County Animal Services

Officer Pam McLaren found Oscar in SeaTac last Thursday. The stray cat landed at the shelter, after hanging out near a house in SeaTac, about nine miles from Auburn. McLaren scanned Oscar to see if he had a microchip. He did, and McLaren was able to obtain the owners’ contact information.

“When we got the call from McLaren, I almost couldn’t believe it,” Fox said. “I looked at a picture of Oscar that we’ve kept on our mantle and just cried. I can’t thank the staff of Regional Animal Services enough for bringing Oscar home.”

Crowd soaks up fun, suds at Hops and Crops

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

It’s not often you get a chance to buy a beer from a goat named Tulip.

Tulip was pressed into service selling tokens redeemable for a sample of locally-brewed craft beer at the second annual Hops and Crops Harvest Festival last Saturday. The goat was just one of the many critters at Mary Olson Farm who shared their habitat with the crowd.

The event was hosted by the White River Valley Museum – curators of the historic farm along the Green River in Auburn – and co-sponsored by the City of Auburn, The Station Bistro and Auburn Chevrolet.

The event, which raised money for the continued restoration of the farm, was a rousing success, said

Rachel Burrum, event organizer and the museum’s curator of education.

“It was great event for the community with lots of families out there,” Burrum said. “All the brewers seemed to have a good time. … We know that it exceeded our expectations from last year.”

The event also raised funds for the farm’s educational programs. “(It includes) farm tours for all the first- and sixthgraders in the Auburn School District,” Burrum added.

The festival featured tours of the farm, a play area for the kids, music from The Horde and The Harem, Jessica Lynne, Gator Chamberlain and others, as well as food and craft vendors. [ more FESTIVAL page 4 ]

City to dedicate center, gymnasium on Oct. 11

Open house

rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

After months of delays brought on by an unusually wet spring, the Auburn Activity Center and Gymnasium will open Oct. 17.

But before that day, the City will dedicate the building with an open house Oct. 11.

As part of the festivities, the new 9,850-square-foot gymnasium will offer a host of athletic and recreation options for free and open play, including an indoor playground for kids 5 and under, open gym basketball, and a rotating court featuring pickleball, badminton, floor hockey, volleyball and futsal.

Individuals may also learn to climb the new rock wall.

The Auburn Senior Activity Center Wellness Team will even provide a free dinner.

The actual opening day is Oct. 17. Hours will be 8 a.m. to about 9:30 p.m. daily.

Features will include a covered connection to the existing Senior Activity Center, parking for 68 cars and four vans, and a drop-off zone. It will share an entrance with the present Parks, Arts and Recreation Administrative Building, which one day in the not-so-distant future will become the Teen/Tween Center.

“During the daytime the building will be used for senior programs, adult programs and everybody,”

• Date: Tuesday, Oct. 11 • Time: 5-8 p.m., with opening ceremonies set for 6.

• Place: Les Gove Community Campus, 910 9th St. SE.

said Daryl Faber, director of Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation. “From 2:30 to 7:30 p.m. there will be camps and clinics, tutoring, homework assistance, healthy eating programs and a huge climbing wall off of the back of it for those type of classes.

“There will be a transportation plan with the school district, and it will be an after-school meal site of the school district so that those kids who come here after school will be able to get their free snack, which is awesome,” Faber said.

BLRB Architects, a Tacoma-based architectural firm, designed the building, and the general contractor was Christensen Inc. The total cost for the building is $2,896,200.

Construction on the Auburn Community Center, phase 2, of the overall campus construction project, is slated to begin next year.

The center/gym complements the 21-acre recreational and educational Les Gove Community Campus.

Awards will be given to police officers who made a difference in a survivor’s life. A survivor’s story will be followed with a prayer led

by City Chaplain Michael Hursh.

The lights will be turned on and purple ribbons and signs will be placed around City Hall Plaza and remain on during October as a reminder and time to reflect on the responsibilities of communi-

ties and citizens to build healthy, thriving families free from the threat of violence.

Purple lights will be available for sale ($3) to the public.

Proceeds benefit City of Auburn survivors and their families.

Auburn police warn of phone scam regarding computer repairs The Auburn Police Department is warning citizens of a telephone scam in which the caller claims to be from Microsoft or a computer repair company and tries to make the call recipients believe they have a computer problem or virus that needs to be fixed.

The caller may ask to send a link to a website that will be fraudulent and put your computer at risk or ask for credit card information to pay for a computer protection plan. It is known that one Auburn resident has fallen for the scam

www.auburn-reporter.com and lost approximately $500.

The call may appear to be coming from an Auburn number or a local area code on caller ID, but the caller is possibly using a spoofed phone number, a disposable mobile phone or stolen cellular numbers.

Auburn police encourage citizens to treat any unsolicited phone calls with skepticism and never to give any personal information, such as credit card numbers, to anyone over the phone. If you receive a phone call such as this, hang up immediately or delete the message if you have received one.

Auburn police also suggest that if multiple phone calls are made to your home or business you contact the phone company about having the number blocked.

[ DRIVE-IN from page 1 ] Council approval would allow the RPG to begin offering about 70 acres of property, including the Valley 6 and several adjacent properties at the city’s north end, for office, retail and residential development.

The Auburn Gateway Project site plan included in the development agreement shows a multi-phased development of 720,000 square feet of retail, 500 residential units and/or up to 1.6 million square feet of office space. It also calls for an extension of I Street Northeast to South 277th.

Mayor Pete Lewis put those numbers in perspective.

“The last time the City did something like this was the Lakeland Hills development, and this is on par with Lakeland Hills,” Lewis said.

For several years, the City has negotiated with RPG on future development of the

Hildreth is ready to put the matter behind him so the City can move on to other business.

“I think a lot of this was politically motivated,” said Hildreth, who is running for a third term in office this fall. “It was put to the Council by one of my opponents (John Jones), and it’s been the fodder of my write-in opposition (Cy Sun) since June.

“As I said all along, there was no intent or deception of the citizens. There was no attempt to defraud anybody,” Hildreth added.

“I personally hope this puts an end to all of the questions, innuendo and political rhetoric that has been stated over these past few months.”

Jones denies using the controversy for political gain as he continues his campaign efforts. He said the City Council did its job, motioning for the proper authorities to investigate and resolve the matter.

The completed audit

by Canfield and Associates – the City’s insurance company – found that Hildreth had employed the credit card for personal use by purchasing the airfare, but that he had

reimbursed the City in full for the purchase.

Hildreth said he paid for the ticket in advance and consulted with the City finance director about how to proceed.

But, as Jones pointed out, the use of the City’s credit card for personal use is specifically prohibited under City ordinance.

In the wake of the controversy, the City Council has since imposed more precise, more stringent and clearer credit card policies and procedures.

I expected less people. But to see this many people enjoying the beer, it’s encouraging for Auburn.”

For Trade Route head brewer Vince Falcone, who took a little time to enjoy the scenic location of the farm between pouring beer for thirsty patrons, the event was a nice introduction to the Pacific Northwest’s love affair with craft beer.

“I’m from Ohio original-

ly, so it’s just setting in that I’m here (in Washington) and that it’s so beautiful here,” he said. “Something like this is huge for Trade Route, though, because we’re a local brewery and a lot of people still don’t know we’re there. A lot of them have come up and said, ‘I always see your sign in the industrial part of Pacific and I always wanted to come in.’ So I’ve met so many locals here who are potential customers.”

Fox stays on the run against fat The fight against fat has spanned nearly five decades for one pioneering Auburn doctor.

Dr. Ross Fox’s crusade against carbohydrates remains just as pronounced today.

Obesity is a chronic disease, a beast, a growing health crisis in the country.

“The statistics are astounding,” said Fox, a weight loss physician for more than 48 years and the first surgeon, after its inventor, to use the stomach-reducing LAP-BAND System on patients. “And the problem is a significant percentage of overweight people are shortening their lives.”

Fox continues to do his part. Fit and focused on his work at 82 years old, the good doctor estimates he has successfully treated more than 6,500 patients in his lifetime – first as a bariatric surgeon and now as a personal manager of modern medicine to safely beat obesity.

Fox’s daily schedule remains busy today. He sees about 18-20 patients at the downtown office clinic he established in 1962.

For Fox, his passion is his work. Helping patients shed the pounds, thwart carbohydrate addiction, restore self-confidence and boost a healthy image is a genuine “kick” to the shy but gregarious man.

“I would be bored out of my head if I didn’t have something to do. And I enjoy this so much,” Fox said. “If the feds find out how much I enjoy it, they will charge me an entertainment tax.”

Fox’s pleasure is helping others get lean to gleam.

But today’s fight against fat is greater and more difficult for Fox and those in his profession. Obesity rates in the United States are the highest in the world. According to medical studies, about three-quarters of Americans are overweight or obese.

EDITOR’S NOTE

?

Question of the week:

● Q UO T E O F NO T E : “As I have stated from the beginning, there is no corruption in my office, and the citizens can rest comfortably (knowing) that all of their tax money is spent wisely and only in their interest.” – Pacific Mayor Richard Hildreth, who was cleared of charges of allegedly misusing a City credit card.

OPINION

www.auburn-reporter.com

Helping others The biggest challenge is helping people understand how to lose weight. Then attack it.

“It’s a combination of everything,” Fox said. “It’s genetics, it’s habit, it’s living in a society where there’s such an abundance of food, and the offending food of carbohydrates. We’re all carbohydrate-aholics. So it’s very easy for people to get hooked on carbs.”

In a fast-paced drive-thru society, that means cholesterol-choked cheeseburgers and other fatty fast-food choices. It means unhealthy food purchases in grocery stores.

To fight fat, Fox came up with his Foxkins Diamond Weight Management Program, a takeoff from the Atkins low-carb diet. It essentially helps patients lose weight through surgery, nutrition counseling, diet, prescription medications and behavior modification. [ more KLAAS page 8 ]

Rottles tailors special service My son, David, who is a quadriplegic, promised his son that he would wear a tuxedo to his wedding. It is pretty hard to find someone to tailor a tux for someone they cannot measure and who cannot try it on beforehand.

Enter Rottles Department Store and Mr. John Rottle and the staff. He told me what measurements to take and where, and they would get David a tux for the wedding. I picked it up Thursday, and had it tried on him at the nursing home where he lives. Everything was a perfect fit except for the jacket, which I took back and on Friday, it was sent out again.

I picked it up Saturday on the morning of the wedding.

especially Leah, his aid, who got David ready, and to those who transported him.

God bless you, one and all.

AYR school drive makes impact

You do not find stores or people of this caliber anymore who put customers and their needs first. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rottles, Jim and the staff.

Now I understand why my late husband enjoyed shopping there so much.

Many thanks also to the staff at Rainier Vista in Puyallup,

Once again, Auburn Youth Resources’ Back to School Backpack program was successful. With the help of all of you, we provided 123 AYR clients with supplies and backpacks for their first day back to school.

We recognize that it is a big expense to families, nearly $45-$75 for one backpack filled with necessary supplies.

Also with Meryhew at the gathering were Janice Nelson, state regent, WSSDA (Washington State Society – Daughters of the American Revolution), far left, and Margaret Strueby, state corresponding secretary.

“It is the closest thing there is to a silver bullet for the treatment of obesity,” Fox added.

But patients have to work at it, Fox emphasized.

Research has yielded few major breakthroughs in the treatment of obesity, meaning it still comes down to reducing caloric intake.

“It takes hard work,” he said. “It isn’t a freebie.”

Fox continues to practice what he preaches.

Away from his office, Fox finds time to run his occasional four miles. Fox has completed 21 marathons, including three trips to prestigious Boston, and 58 triathlons/duathlons.

He also likes to ski, fish for big salmon in Alaska and hunt. He accompanies his wife, Cathy, a retired registered nurse, on shopping trips to sundry antique shops.

The Foxes have four grown sons.

“It’s fun to help them get there because life changes so much for them,” Fox said. “Their quality of life improves tremendously by getting their weight down to normal or near normal ranges. And so I get a kick out of that.”

Ravens win Auburn Schools water polo tourney title The Auburn Riverside boys compiled a perfect 5-0 record at the Auburn School District Boys Water Polo Tournament at the Auburn Pool last weekend, taking home the championship.

The Ravens defeated Puyallup 12-9 in the title game, with Thomas Henline scoring five goals in the contest. Drew Ridge added four goals for Auburn Riverside. Also competing in the tourney was Auburn Mountainivew, which grabbed fifth-place with an 11-2 win over Rogers last Saturday.

On course for peace of mind Autistic golfer Tyler May finds therapy on the greens

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Sometimes the world can be overwhelming for Tyler May. The 16-year-old Auburn High School junior and standout golfer was born with autism, a neurological disorder that affects connections in the brain, often manifesting in awkward social behavior.

“It’s really a social disorder,” said Tyler’s father, Tom. “He prefers to communicate with adults rather than kids because they don’t judge so much. He really has no friends. At school he eats lunch with the special education kids. He doesn’t hang out with the mainstream kids.

He likes the special education kids because he says they don’t judge.”

Tyler’s autism also makes him hypersensitive to noise, especially in crowd situations.

“He can’t go to assemblies or games at school,” Tom said.

“He can’t pick out the different noises, so it overwhelms him.”

Add behavioral problems associated with autism, and it’s easy to see why a few moments of peace are a welcome thing in Tyler’s life.

For Tyler, those moments often come on the links.

“It’s the peace and quiet of the course that I like. You don’t get any distractions,” said Tyler, who has emerged as one of the

Growing up, Tyler par“He’s been hitting balls since ticipated and did well in other he was 7, but I couldn’t take him sports, such as Little League on the golf course because of his baseball and soccer. It was all disability and anger managepart of the family’s efforts to ment issues,” Tom said. “It just make Tyler’s life as normal as wasn’t appropriate for me possible, to treat his autism [ more may page 18 ] without giving in to it.

The Auburn Mountainview football team stretched its winning streak to three on Friday with a 29-12 win over Yelm in a non-league 3A game at Auburn Memorial Stadium.

The Lions (3-1 overall) – who begin league play in the South Puget Sound League 3A Saturday against the undefeated 4-0 Bonney Lake Panthers – were led by junior quarterback Domenic Rockey who went 27-of-46 for 317 yards with a two touchdowns and two interceptions against Yelm (0-4).

The Lions struck early in the first quarter of the game with Rockey finding junior Devin Bryant from 15 yards out for a touchdown. Bryant finished with eight catches for 84 yards.

Sophomore kicker Joey Cassano notched two of his three field goals in the game in the second quarter, booting one in from 23 yards and another from 28 yards out. Cassano would add another 28-yard field goal in the third quarter.

Yelm’s Quinton Buck put the Tornados on the board with a 20-yard punt return, and Auburn Mountainview senior Skyler White answered in the waning moments of the half, hooking up with Rockey for a touchdown reception. White finished with a game-high 10 catches for 105 yards.

In the third quarter, junior Victor Korchemniy added another seven points for the Lions, scoring from 10 yards out. Korchemniy led Auburn Mountainview on the ground with 117 yards on 15 carries. [ more football page 18 ]

In May 2010, however, Tom figured Tyler was ready and signed him up as a member of the Jade Green’s Men’s Club, just down the road from their home.

Tyler took to the sport like a duck to water.

“The first tourney he ever played in he took low net score,” Tom said. “Then he took third in the second tournament,” The early success inspired Tyler to double his efforts.

“Tyler lives out there. It seems like he’s a family member out there,” Tom said.

Tyler’s progress was so rapid that just a few months after he started playing golf he tried out and made the high school team.

“Trojan golf coach Jeremy

Sagle said he knew about Tyler’s disability, but was more impressed with his enthusiasm.

“I was glad to have someone so excited to turn out for the team,” Sagle said. “He was really nervous the first day of practice. He struggled and was getting frustrated, but he calmed down.”

Tyler eventually earned acceptance from his teammates.

“It was pretty tough at first.

The coach told my teammates about my disability, so they understood what was going on,” Tyler said. “They are probably the best teammates to play with. They are really very kind people. “ Tyler capped his sophomore season with a trip to the West Central District 4A tournament where he had a rough day, finishing second to last in the field.

The Trojans (2-2 league, 2-2 overall) were unable to slow down the Bears (2-1, 2-2)

www.auburn-reporter.com This summer, Tyler found his stroke in Washington State Special Olympics play. At the state tournament qualifier, Tyler shot a record-setting 40 on Tacoma’s Meadow Park nine-hole course, beating the field by 18 strokes. He followed it up with a gold medal performance at the Walter E. Hall course in Everett, shooting a 42.

“It was pretty great,” Tyler said. “All that hard work finally paid off.”

At Jade Greens, Tyler continues to be one of the course’s top players. He took home first in net score at the men’s club championships last weekend with 18-hole rounds of 84 and 80.

In school play this fall, Tyler is flirting with the No. 2 spot on the Trojans’ squad.

“He works at it harder than

anybody,” Sagle said. “He’s just really determined and driven.

Adds Tom: “He’s worked real hard to get where he is.

He deserves his spot on the team. A lot of it is the dedication and support (of others).”

Tyler appreciates the support of Jade Greens and its pro, Doug Campbell.

“Whenever I have trouble, I either have my dad or Doug Campbell help me out,” Tyler said. “Doug is pretty much one of the greatest pros in this area. The good thing about him is that he’s calm, cool and collected.”

And although the oncourse results matter, the most important thing for Tom is the peace of mind that Tyler finds on the links.

“Every time he comes out to the golf course, it’s therapy for him,” Tom said.

“His therapy never stops.”

Auburn schools golf at a glance AUBURN In addition to the continued improvement of junior Tyler May, the Trojans will look to No. 1 Brad Adams and No. 2 Shaun Knight, both seniors, to set the pace.

“They’ve (Knight and Adams) been solid for the last two years for us,” Auburn coach Jeremy Sagle said.

“No. 3 is Tyler. He’s been consistent.”

Last season Auburn struggled in a tough South Puget Sound League Central 4A, finishing in the bottom of the standings and failing to qualify anyone for state play.

Next spring, however, Sagle hopes to have one of his top-three players in the state field.

“Tyler, Brad and Shaun all have a legitimate chance to advance to state,” Sagle said. “It’s just a matter of keeping their confidence up.

It’s been a good year so far, and hopefully we’ll be able to pull out a couple of victories this year. It’s a tough league, but we’re a good team with good athletes.”

AUBURN RIVERSIDE The Ravens took second in the SPSL Central 4A and fifth at the West Central District III tournament last season, with junior Nolan Cull and Kevin McPeak moving on to state play. Cull, who finished 12th in the 4A state tourney, returns to lead the Ravens.

“He is the top player in our division and one of the top players in the state in his grade,” coach Tom Adams said.

Although the Ravens lost McPeak to graduation, they return experience in seniors Josh Kumar, Mitch Blanchard, Ben Blanchard and Casey Shultz. Toss in a pair of talented newcomers – juniors Jordan McDonald and Richard Blix – and the Ravens might have what it takes to contend at district and state play.

“I expect Nolan and a couple other players to make it to the state tournament and vie for a top-five finish at state,” Adams added.

AUBURN MOUNTAINVIEW At last season’s state 3A tournament, seniors Kelly Campbell and Austin Geiger made the cut.

Campbell finished 12th (147-stroke total for 36 holes) and Geiger was 41st (158).

During the summer Campbell continued to improve his game on the junior circuit, winning the Pacific Northwest Golf Association’s Junior Boys Amateur Championships in Oregon.

In addition to Campbell and Geiger, Auburn Mountainview – which finished second in the SPSL 3A last season – returns senior Greg Harris, junior Griffin Lamb and sophomore Zac Wildin.

Freshman Vincent Vu will play at No. 4 for the Lions.

“Our outlook is good. We have lots of experience and should be able to get several of our kids to the state tourney,” coach Steve Calhoun said.

“First we build gags, that is anything that requires more than makeup, like arms ripping off, people biting, gun wounds, things like that,” he added. “We have no time at all, so that’s been the biggest learning curve for us.”

And it’s only going to get busier. In the first season the crew shot six episodes, but it will shoot 13 for the new season.

“Funny thing is, there are a lot of Auburn people in this industry. Auburn is a little Hollywood.”

Wasner followed his dream. After graduation from high school, he started working a series of deadend jobs, still determined to do makeup effects, still practicing. His first paying job was cranking out monsters for a haunted house.

He gradually built his portfolio, wound up working on a couple of music videos, then feature films.

His latest project involved the creation of a full, animatronic dolphin, which Wasner puppeteered. The movie, “Dolphin Tale,” is now playing.

“It’s a job,” Wasner said.

“At the beginning you get star struck with the actors, but that’s gone, and I feel very comfortable in my shoes. It doesn’t feel like a job because we’re playing all the time.” more story online…

“We flew from Atlanta to Los Angeles for the weekend, got all dressed up, the red carpet and all that,” Wasner said of the six-person makeup crew.

“We didn’t really expect to win. All my friends were on competing shows, and we were up against ‘Glee’ and ‘Grays’ Anatomy’ and other well-known shows.

“A lot of times these things are popularity contests, and those shows are quite popular, so we were like, ‘OK, let’s go there, have some drinks, have fun.’

But we won. And it was fantastic.”

In the “Walking Dead,” a killer virus transmitted by zombie bite or scratch has upended the human world, because no one stays decently dead for long. And when the dead arise, they are filled with a terrible hunger for living flesh.

Making it real under the terrific time pressures of television challenges even the greatest makeup guys.

“First, we get a script, and then we get a daily schedule of what we’ve got coming for the week,” Wasner said.

“I’m used to working on films, so this is a stretch for me. With television a lot

makeup effects he’d seen in films like “Star Wars.” When he watched those films, he said, he knew just what he wanted to do, so he started making up his own effects, building his own creatures.

“I was doing makeup effects at Auburn High School as a hobby, and I had a really awesome art teacher there, Mr. Carson.

He really encouraged me to do what I did,” Wasner said. “I visited him a few years after I’d just started getting into this business and showed him a little portfolio, and he was really excited. He said, ‘You’ve gotta do it, man. You’ve got to follow your dream.’ ” Wasner added that he had a high school buddy, Christian Tinsely, who also wanted to do makeup effects, and the two would practice on each other.

Tinsely was nominated this year for his work on “Glee.”

“He didn’t win, but it was trippy,” Wasner said.

...obituaries Lillian M. Lindberg

Lillian M. Lindberg, age 96, passed away September 21, 2011 in her Auburn home after a brief hospital stay. She had been receiving in-home health care since August of 2010 after breaking her arm.

Lillian was born in Minnesota on December 3, 1914 and moved west with her husband, Clarence, and son, Alan, in the 50’s. She was a homemaker who lovingly attended the couple’s handicapped son; her husband was employed as a Boeing engineer. She was preceded in death by her husband in 1985 and her son in 1993.

Lillian was a charter member of Bible Baptist Church (now Grace Community). She loved walking and exercised weekly for many years at the YMCA, where she celebrated her 90th birthday.

Lillian was especially devoted to her two cats. Her smile and sense of humor were contagious to the very end. Lillian had a wonderful memory and loved visits with her friends. Her caregivers from Living Angels were so good to her and meant much to her.

There will be viewing at Price-Helton, 702 Auburn Way N, from noon - 8 pm on Monday, October 3rd. A memorial service will be held at Grace Community Church in Auburn at 2 pm on Tuesday, October 4th.

Reathel K. Norberg

Reathel K. Norberg entered the portals of heaven early in the evening on Saturday, September 24, 2011 at the age of 102. Reathel was taken from her home at Parkside Retirement Community to Auburn Regional Medical Center on Tuesday, September 20th after suffering a heart attach. She remained in the hospital until the time of her death.

Reathel was born in Kent, WA on August 1, 1909 to Jenny and Cornelius Timothy (C.T.) Sheehan. Her childhood and adult life were lived in Kent. As the second child in the family of 5 children, she attended Kent schools and graduated Kent High School in the class of 1927. She donated her high school annual to the Kent Historical Society.

In 1934 Reathel was married to Bert E. Norberg, a Swedish immigrant who came to America with his family when he was 3 years of age. Together they lived the good life for 74 years. They first had a daughter, Patricia and then a son, William (Bill).

Reathel became employed at the Boeing Airplane Company in 1951 and retired in 1973 after 22 years of loyal service. Her work in the Release Unit earned her many merit awards in those 22 years.

Her life revolved around her family and friends. Her passion was ballroom dancing expressed through the Dancing Clubs to which she and Bert were members. Over the years, they traveled to many parts of the world and spent much of their retired life wintering in Mesa, AZ. In Arizona Reathel took up golfing at the age of nearly 70.

Reathel is survived by her son, Bill Norberg and wife, Judy of Auburn, WA; four grandchildren, Cathy Vierthaler and husband Paul, Rusty Russell and wife Ronda, Juli Willert and husband Stephen and Jean Norberg-Jones and husband Scott; as well as 8 grandchildren, Nicholas Vierthaler, Daniel Vierthaler, Kaileigh Coulter, Justin Coulter, Nathan Baxter, Paige Russell, Taylor Russell and Trevor Willert.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Bert E. Norberg, her daughter, Patricia Russell and all of her siblings, Bill Sheehan, Vivian Spiker, Bus Sheehan, and Claud Sheehan.

Our family loss is compounded by the fact that Reathel’s death marks the end of a generation.

A celebration of Reathel’s life will be held on Saturday, October 1, 2011 at Rio Verde Mobile Home Estates, 1402 – 22nd St. NE, Auburn, WA at 2:00PM. After cremation, her ashes will be interned with Bert’s at Hillcrest Memorial Park in Kent, WA. Reathel’s loss leaves holes in the hearts of her family members and her many friends.

It’s about trying to communicate the spirit of the man.�

Ferrante brings the spirit of Groucho to life at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Auburn Performing Arts Center. “The way I see the show, it’s what it would have been like to see Groucho live as a solo act in 1935 in a live setting,� Ferrante said. “We try to convey the wildness and danger that he had in

audience. “What really makes the show sing is that improvisation,� Ferrante said. “About a third of it is improvisational, very interactive. We don’t know exactly what is going to happen every night.�

For Ferrante – a lifelong Groucho fan who was discovered by the comedian’s son, Arthur Marx – the real key to the magic of the man is the irreverence inherent in the comedy and persona. “I’ve always referred to him as a truth teller,� Ferrante said. “He says what we want to say and does what we want to do, within his artwork. We all wanted to be Groucho when we were in a classroom. We all wanted to be able to crack-wise like Groucho and get away with it. It’s always exciting, exhilarating and threatening. He was an alter ego for so many of us, especially me growing up. “He didn’t play by the rules and he made fun of the people who had power over us, like lawyers and doctors,� he added. “He really took some wonderful swipes at big business and the legal system, and it’s that irreverence that marks him.

He held a mirror up to society and really shook it up.�

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

The Auburn Valley Y received a manicure last week.

A volunteer work force from the King County Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) spent Friday removing weeds, trimming overgrown cottonwoods, clearing out a retention pond and sprucing up the area around the Alpine Tower on the Y's campus off Perimeter Road Southwest.

"It's a huge help," said Wes Gill, the Y's facility supervisor, during a break from manning a weed-eater.

video online… auburn-reporter.com

Jamie Watson clears the way.

COURTESY, Tim Smith, CFC manager In Gill's 17-year association with the Y, the campaign has done work at the Auburn facility on four of five occasions.

Each time, volunteers leave a special touch.

The CFC is celebrating its 50th anniversary of helping communities.

During that time, federal employees have contributed nearly $7 billion to thousands of worthy charitable organizations throughout the world.

Last year, federal employees in King County contributed more than $3.1 million to charities.

Federal employees with the CFC respond to 360 area nonprofit organizations, such as the Auburn Valley Y.

‘Y’ receives Day of Caring

REACHING OUT FAIR: The public is invited to next Thursday’s Reaching Out Fair at the Auburn Performing Arts Center, 700 E. Main St. The fair, which runs from 6 to 8 p.m., pays tribute to those lost in the Columbine High School tragedy.

Hosted by the Auburn School District, the cities of Auburn, Algona and Pacific, Green River Community College and the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, the event is designed to put a stop to bullying and promote kindness in school communities.

Children and their families will have the opportunity to learn more about resources available to them from a variety of organizations like the Auburn Valley Y, Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation, Auburn King County Library System, Auburn Youth Resources and others. There also will be a drawing with the chance to win one of a dozen $50 SuperMall gift certificates.

Free pizza, juice and cookies will be provided.
