Councilmember Sue Singer and Mayor Pete Lewis have been taking the measure of Largo Wales, Wayne Osborne and John Holman,

and what they’ve seen tells them that the new Council could shape up to be one of the best in recent memory.

Wales, Osborne and Holman officially were declared winners from the Nov. 8 general election. King County Elections posted the final results this week.

City OKs development at outdoor theaters site

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

The Auburn City Council recently approved an ordinance and a master development agreement between the future developers of the

Valley 6 Drive-In Theaters site and the City setting out guidelines for the development of the property.

Council approval allows the Robertson Property Group to begin offering about 70 acres of property, that is, the Valley 6 site and several

adjacent properties at the city’s north end, for office, retail and residential development.

John Manavian, RPG’s executive vice president of real estate, design and development, said after the [ more GATEWAY page 3 ]

As a political outsider and long shot candidate, Cy Sun was realistic about his chances to unseat two-term incumbent Richard Hildreth as mayor of the City of Pacific.

“I didn’t expect to win, to be honest with you,” said the 81-year-old, a highly decorated Korean War veteran and 12-year resident of Pacific. “As a write-in candidate, I felt like the odds were against me. That being said, I was determined to go the extra mile.”

Sun took his campaign to the streets. He estimated he knocked on about 1,000

doors, walking nine hours each day for three weeks leading up to the Nov. 8 general election.

“I wholeheartedly went into (the race),” Sun said. “If I’m going to do something, I’m going to go all out to accomplish what I expect to do.

“Going in as a write-in candidate, it was a hard, uphill struggle.”

Sun’s determination paid off.

In a rare but not unprecedented result, the unsung Sun – the only officially declared write-in candidate in a bitterly contested race – upset Hildreth.

In the King County Elections’ official final results released Tuesday morning, Sun received 470 votes or 40 percent of the ballots cast. Six other write-in candidates

[ GATEWAY from page 1 ] Council’s action that at this point he didn’t know when the theaters would close.

The RPG buys private movie theaters and properties throughout the country and develops them into something different than cinemas.

For about eight years, the City has negotiated with the RPG on future development of the acreage, touching on preparation of an environmental impact statement, changes to the comprehensive plan and zoning code to authorize a mixed-used commercial zone, and preparation of a draft development agreement and a draft planned action ordinance.

The Auburn Gateway Project site plan included in the MDA shows a multiphased 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 north to South 277th.

“The City Council’s approval of the code changes and the development agreement is a major economic development milestone,” Mayor Pete Lewis said.

“Through the hard work of the City Council, City staff and representatives from Auburn Properties, Inc., we

will see new businesses and services rise on the site of the Valley 6 Drive-In over the next several years.”

In the development agreement, which lays out development guidelines, the RPG has agreed that the layout and uses of the Auburn Gateway Project will follow these strictures: t 0UIFS UIBO DPNNPO areas, parking and access, no multiple family residential uses will be allowed on the ground floor of any building but only in upper stories of multi-story buildings. t *U DBO U DPOUBJO NPSF full-service, sit-down restaurants than fast food, including drive-thru restaurants t (BT TUBUJPOT BOE DBS repair service and parts business can only be built as part of a larger retail operation.

“We have appreciated the opportunity to work with the City of Auburn throughout the planning process to insure a zone change that focused on an integrated mixed use commercial and residential development,” Manavian said. “We are extremely pleased in the City Council’s support of our vision for a sustainable, smartgrowth, master-plan. We look forward to bringing a unique mixed-use community to Auburn.”

Adding to Singer’s frustration is that she can look around and see other communities making it work.

“You go to places like Mukilteo, anywhere on the

Eastside. They outsource.

0VS )VNBO 3FTPVSDFT people here felt it was a union issue, but the mayor of Mukilteo told me that he was able to do it, and it

did not become an issue with the unions. He was very proud of the way they looked. It was one of his things,” Singer said.

Untended greenery sends

the wrong sort of message to a City that cares so much about its appearance.

“It says we don’t care in Auburn. … It’s embarrassing to me,” Singer said.

Wales said. “All three of us have really strong business minds. I’ve got a really substantial background in budget, and I know the community because of all my community service.

John and Wayne both have incredible business backgrounds. I think that’s going to help us from an economic point of view but also when it comes to funding the arts, parks and other things. We will look at things from a real scale of balance.� “I get along so well with Wayne Osborne and Largo Wales and the existing council members,� Holman said. “We have similar philosophies and build on each other’s strengths rather than playing political games and taking advantage of other’s weaknesses.� “Just having different minds on the Council that are brand new to the process will bring new ideas and new concepts,�

Osborne said. “I think having three fresh minds on the council will add to it. Every

bit of new subject matter will be looked at differently.

A lot of things have become rote for the old Council, they’ve been looking at it for so many years, and we’ll look at differently. It will cause the outcome to be different.�

Lewis agreed. “They’re totally different, and they didn’t know each other that well when they started out.

But during the campaigning they saw these common visions and common goals.

I know all of them. Largo Wales worked on my first campaign for Council.

One of my very first coffee meetings was at her house.

Wayne Osborne I knew from his early days because he was an air traffic controller. John Holman I knew probably least of the three, but I knew his wife for 20 years. I’d seen these three develop through the campaign. It really is enthusiasm and eagerness to work. “They understand the concept of a legislative body working together in a nonpartisan atmosphere. “They are just so excited about the training. They keep calling up and asking, ‘Can we do it now?’ �

Couple identified in apparent murder/suicide

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

The King County Medical Examiner has released the names of the couple found dead Nov. 15 in an apparent murder/suicide.

Auburn police found Eck Lee, 64, and his domestic partner, Pong Kim, 65, in their apartment in the 900 block of 12th Street Southeast.

According to the medical examiner’s office, Lee’s cause of death was asphyxia due to hanging.

His death was ruled a suicide.

Kim’s cause of death waits upon the completion of a toxicology report, which could take up to three-months, an Auburn police spokesman said.

According to Auburn Police Commander Jamie GILDO REY ELEMENTARY is one of only three schools statewide to be awarded the National Title I, Part A Academic Achievement Awards in reading and mathematics sponsored by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). Gildo Rey will be honored at the National Title I Conference in Seattle on Jan. 21-24. Gildo Rey also will receive state-level recognition and a total of $20,000 for the reading and mathematics awards. Gildo Rey was recognized for significantly raising student achievement in mathematics and reading.

Sidell, officers responded to the apartment after someone called 911 to report having seen a body inside the residence.

Police arrived at 1 p.m., Nov. 15 and found the bodies.

Sidell added that the police are not looking for any suspects. “A warrant was served, and we’ve collected our evidence,� Sidell said. “There are no suspects we’re looking for at this time. It appears to be a domestic incident. The couple had a domestic relationship – we don’t know if they were married – and there were no signs of an intruder.�

Sidell added that the police have no previous records of domestic incidents involving the couple.

received votes, according to election officials.

Hildreth received 385 votes, 33 percent of the ballots. Challenger John C. Jones, City Council president, took in 302 votes, 26 percent of the ballots.

The mayoral election attracted 1,205 of 2,591 registered voters in Pacific, 46 percent. Pacific, a small community that sits in the shadow of Auburn, has a population of about 6,000. “All the write-ins were not for one person, but Cy Sun did get declared the winner of that at today’s canvas board certification meeting,� said Kim Van Ekstrom, chief communications officer for King County Elections.

In Pierce County, Hildreth received 14 votes to Jones’ 12.

Successful write-in campaigns are infrequent but not unheard of, according to Sherril Huff, King County Elections director. “There are a few instances in which it has happened, but it’s very rare,� Huff said of city races contested within the county. “(The Pacific race) was interesting,� she added. “What we learned was this election was very controversial. Based upon our communications, things were pretty heated.

The circumstances were very unusual.�

In a larger-scale election, Huff pointed out, Republican state Sen. Linda Smith, a Clark County lawmaker and populist politician, made history when she became the first candidate ever to win a congressional nomination as a write-in back in 1994.

In Pacific, a write-in candidate had never won a mayoral election, although it had been done in a City Council race, according to Howard Erickson, a retired glass worker who served three terms as Pacific mayor and two years on the City Council.

Erickson, a Hildreth opponent, said it’s time for a change in Pacific. “Cy is not a common man,� he said, “he’s an extraordinary man.�

Sun grew up in Hawaii, enlisted in the U.S. Army, and rose to the rank of colonel while serving in Korea and later, Vietnam.

Wounded in battle, he has the many scars of shrapnel.

He eventually moved to the Pacific Northwest, where he raised crops on his northeast Oregon farm for many years before settling in Pacific with his wife. The couple raised a family.

A persistent man who enjoys restoring Volkswagons in his garage in his spare time, Sun understands he has much to learn as he moves into office come January. He says he will bring a managerial role to the city, with his good understanding of accounting, budgets and administration. “I will bring a casual, congenial approach,� he said. “I want the people to know that I am their servant. I want the people to know that I’m there for them. Whatever they want, I want to come to a consensus and help the people.�

Sun vows to clean up what he claims to be corruption at City Hall, while reinstating and promoting Abraham Lincoln’s doctrine: “Government of the people, by the people, for the people.�

He also plans to “kick out� those City employees that he claims make too much money.

In victory, Sun has little to say about his opponent or the ugly fall campaign in which the candidates traded accusations.

Hildreth supporters claim Sun benefitted greatly from a smear campaign – anybodybutrich.com – designed to oust the current mayor. Jerry Eck, a local businessman, financially backed the movement.

At the center of the cam-

deception of our citizens, I know that as the truth comes out, the public will see the mistake that was made,� Hildreth said in a statement. “I pray that mistake does not prove to be fatal to our city.�

Hildreth says he has left the City in sound fiscal shape. He is proud of his accomplishments.

Hildreth intends to remain a dedicated instructor and volunteer in the Pacific community, particularly in public education classes in emergency preparedness and emergency management for FEMA. Sun, meanwhile, is willing to learn quickly in his new role. He says it’s time to move ahead. “I want to win the confidence of the people,� he said, “and give them the feeling that this is their city.�

Putnam prevails Incumbent Joshua Putnam held off challenger Kevin M. Cline in the race for City Council Position 6. Putnam received 503 votes or 50 percent of the vote, while Cline took in 485 votes, 48 percent. In Pierce County, Putnam had 14 votes to Cline’s 13.

paign was Hildreth’s alleged misuse of a City-issued credit card for personal use and to advance a career in emergency management.

An outside investigation cleared Hildreth of charges in credit-card-gate.

Hildreth says voters have made a mistake in putting a poorly-prepared man in office. “Although I am disappointed in losing to negative campaigning and the

OPINION

www.auburn-reporter.com

GUEST EDITORIAL

Were you seeing red on Monday? It wasn’t an optical illusion, and your eyes weren’t playing tricks on you.

On Monday, the entire educational community in Auburn, including educators, support staff, administrators and our local PTA members participated in “Wear Red for Public Ed” to highlight the importance of funding public education in our state For decades, Washington schools have ranked among the nation’s finest. Students in the Auburn School District have made exceptional gains in mathematics, reading and program participation during the 2010-2011 school year.

The achievement scores in spring 2011 indicate that more students of diverse populations participated in honors programs; and more students graduated on time.

The school district provides a wide array of advanced placement (AP), advanced career and technical education (CTE) and honors courses. These programs provide students with learning opportunities beyond the state proficiency standards.

The Auburn School District and the Auburn Education Association partnered together on Nov. 28 because we believe that school funding should be protected, so that our students continue to have the quality education they deserve. But after more than $2.5 billion in recent school funding cuts, new proposals could wipe out another $1 billion or more in funding, tying the hands of educators and depriving students of a well-rounded education.

Additional funding cuts could mean increased class sizes, potential layoffs of certificated and classified faculty, dramatically reduced preschool opportunities and the end of all-day kindergarten. Proposals include potential cuts to school levy equalization.

In Auburn, that cut would mean a loss of $3,300,000 in funding. The inequitable cuts would be devastating; Auburn students who are in school today will not get a second chance at a good education.

Hey, Gov., here are some options Since the governor does not like her options in meeting the next $2 billion hole in the state budget, here are some that should have been considered at the beginning of the recession.

1. Reduce the size of governmental agencies. Experience has shown that the more tax money we throw at governmental agencies the more inefficient and wasteful they become.

The number of cell phones we provide to government employees and the number of unused or phones on high cost plans is staggering – that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Why should I support more tax money given to bureaucrats who mismanage it?

2. Give the voters a line item list of annual governmental costs, and we will tell the

New estate tax provisions in the law enacted with the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 might cause some to feel that estate planning is no longer necessary and is a “thing of the past.”

To the contrary, this false sense

of security could result in very unintended results.

Specifically, many wonder if the use of a credit shelter trust has become obsolete with the new law adding “portability” of the lifetime exclusion amount between spouses.

What this is referring to has to do with the estate and gift tax exclu-

until we get a chance to vote on individual line items that need to be cut without hurting essential services.

3. Undo the giveaway on taxes that she gave to the gambling industry on the Indian reservations.

On the other hand, portability might be the best solution for your situation and in some cases does make sense.

replace the need to establish a testamentary trust at death; however, there are several reasons one should still consider the role of a trust in their estate planning.

First off, the new provisions are temporary. The new estate and gift tax provisions enacted December 2010 are set to expire December 2012. At this point, no one knows what will happen after the provisions “sunset�, and planning based on speculation may not be in your best interest.

Second, the portability provision is not automatic and requires an election that could easily be missed by the executor of the estate of the deceased spouse. Additionally, in order to make the election, the filing of a federal estate tax return is required, which may mean unnecessary costs for an estate that is not large enough to

normally require a federal estate return.

Third, only the exclusion of the immediately predeceased spouse of the surviving spouse is portable, meaning if the surviving spouse remarries, any unused exemption from the first spouse could still be wasted.

Fourth, many states impose estate tax (like Washington state) at lower levels than the federal levels and do not allow portability. In Washington state, the estate tax exclusion is $2 million per person. State tax that can be avoided through the use of a trust may end up being applicable if relying on portability, wasting all or part of the state tax exclusion at the first death.

Last, remember that trusts have purposes far beyond estate tax savings.

Many trusts are set up as a vehicle for providing asset protection to hedge creditor, bankruptcy and

Accomplished artist brings nature, places to life

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@auburn-reporter.com

Art brings out the very best in Jon Roberton.

With the striking use of bold, bright color and detail, the Auburn artist vividly inspires emotion with his beautiful images. “It’s something I have inside me,â€? said Roberton, who grew up in the Pacific Northwest and travelled throughout the country to expand his talents. “It allows me to express who I am. ‌ It’s a part of who I am.â€?

The artist’s subject matter ranges from nature, people, ocean and landscapes, to impressionistic and abstract styles.

A collection of Roberton’s works is on display at English Home and Garden, 102 29th St. SE, Auburn.

The public is invited to a reception at the exhibit from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday.

Roberton works in acrylics, egg tempera, oils, watercolor and pen and ink – applied to canvas, paper or panel. He has completed more than 50 limited editions original lithographs, etchings and silkscreens.

His artwork is owned by collectors throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.

To gain a better perspective, Roberton travels throughout the country to research and study a particular subject, adding, “There’s nothing like being there, seeing it first hand.�

Inspired by things around him, Roberton’s brushstrokes have a “realism� style and effect. “The world I see and am PAUL MYERS, a World War II veteran and the oldest VFW Post 1741 member, passed away on Nov. 26 at an Auburn hospital. He was 100 years old.

Services are noon Monday at Price-Helton Funeral Home, 702 Auburn Way N. Post 1741 will conduct the VFW chapel ritual with a post honor guard.

Post members, past and present, are welcomed to attend.

Myers, a longtime Auburnite, served as a mechanic who helped maintain the powerful P-47 Thunderbolt fighter as it ran supreme over European skies during WWII.

Auburn’s Jon Roberton presents many of his works in a gallery now on display at the English Home and Garden. MARK KLAAS, Auburn Reporter impressed with is a painting waiting to be completed,� said the 56-year-old Rober-

ton, who makes his home in Lakeland Hills.

Roberton grew up in

the region and attended Western Washington University, where his mother was a music professor. After college, Roberton moved to Southern California and continued his art career, producing several one-man shows a year. His artwork hung in some of the fine galleries of the area.

Roberton’s early art training included spending time in Sausalito, Calif., studying under French artist Milo Artisan.

He returned to Washington in 1989 and continued his work.

Among his other talents are music and golf.

Influenced by Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and The

Beatles, Roberton performs vocal harmonies and guitar work that echo those classic rock artists. He owns his own recording studio where he writes and produces CDs. Aside from art and music, Roberton took up golf and became a teaching pro.

Roberton the artist looks forward to his next project.

He has shared his work worldwide. “I enjoy it,â€? Roberton said. “I want to paint ‌ and reach more people.â€?

When someone forgets a person’s name, it is often euphemistically referred to as a “senior moment.� In medical terms, these forgetful moments are collectively known as “mild cognitive impairment,� which falls somewhere between normal forgetfulness and dementia. When researchers looked more specifically into the matter recently, they found men are more likely to have “senior moments� than women. Nineteen percent of men between the ages of 70 and 89 experienced so-called mild cognitive impairment while only 14 percent of women of the same age did. Interestingly, researchers also found that the more education people had, the less likely they were to have cognitive problems. It seems that reading and other intellectual pursuits may help stave off “senior moments.�

Dr. Linda Petter

DOCTOR’S VISIT

More than 3.2 million children are victims of bullying each year.

Bullying is an aggressive, intentional behavior, consisting of repeated attacks or threats toward an individual over time.

Bullying can take on many forms, such as verbal abuse (using degrading names, teasing), physical (kicking, hitting, pinching, shoving) and psychological (spreading rumors, social exclusion).

Bullying can go beyond the walls of a school or playground. It can essentially follow a child anywhere a cell phone or Internet access reaches.

Strategies to deal with bullies begin with having a conversation with your son or daughter. We want children to know that they should not fight back, as this can further escalate and intensify the situation.

Encourage him or her to hang out with friends, as bullies tend to prey on kids who are loners.

If a bully is stealing personal possessions, label your belongings with a permanent marker so they can be later identified and returned.

Do not follow the demands of a

bully, rather ignore them. Stand tall, speak confidently, and firmly say “no.”

Work on ways to improve selfesteem.

Encourage children and teens to speak to adults about bullying encounters. Always report any incidents to school officials. Please inform your child that telling an adult is not “tattle-tailing,” but rather reporting, so the bullying situation can be resolved.

For further information, I recommend the following websites: BullyFree.com and StopBullying.Gov. Dr. Linda Petter of Auburn is a weekly feature on KOMO TV/News Radio (1000 AM & 97.7 FM) every Saturday and Sunday at 7:45 a.m. & 9:45 a.m., and Thursday’s during the evening commute.

She trained at the Mayo Clinic and the University of Illinois, Carle Hospital.

Billie Catherine Fenton

February 3, 1932 – November 20, 2011

Billie Fenton, of Auburn, WA, passed away peacefully on the evening of November 20, 2011. She was born in Seattle, WA to the late James & Gladys Sidebotham, and was raised and resided in the South King County area for most of her life.

A 1950 graduate of Renton High School, Billie maintained a life-long friendship with several elementary – high school classmates. In 1951, she met Roger (Bud) Fenton and on September 5th they were married. Roger and Billie celebrated 60 years of marriage this past September. Together, they traveled all over the US as well as abroad to many tropical locales and destinations—Billie loved to travel and explore out-of-the-way places.

Billie was also very artistic and took painting classes; many family members are blessed to have a “Billie” original hanging in their home. Also a great cook, Billie was known for her great pies, which were relished by anyone lucky enough to get a slice. Later in life, when traveling became harder due to health issues, Billie enjoyed many years of “camping” with her children and grandchildren at their property in eastern Washington. She treasured the time she could spend with her family.

Billie was pre-deceased by her parents and oldest sister, Patricia Emery. She is survived by husband, Roger; sister, Gladys Addington, Renton; two children - daughter Lori (Dave) Sanford, Auburn, and son John Fenton, Chehalis; grandchildren - Joe Sanford, Federal Way; Michael (Sharon) Sanford, Auburn; and Julianne (Kevin) Williams, Puyallup; as well as five greatgrandchildren, Jewel/Kayden Sanford, Emily Sanford and Carson /Sydney Williams.

Wetmore earns Husky honor Lion senior Shaddye Melu

DUCKS’ PAULSON CATCHING PASSES, TOP HONORS David Paulson, an Auburn Riverside product and University of Oregon senior tight end, pulled in a career-high eight passes for a team-high 105 receiving yards and a touchdown in the Ducks’ 49-21 civil war victory over Oregon State last Saturday. For his efforts, the 6-foot-4, 240-pound Paulson was named Oregon’s Student-Athlete of the Week.

He also was named to the All-Pac-12 Conference second team on Monday.

Mercedes Wetmore knew it wouldn’t take long to make her mark as a Husky.

This season – her second with the University of Washington’s basketball program – the 5-foot-8 sophomore from Auburn Riverside is ready to step it up, both in the stat books and as a team leader.

Wetmore, who got the starting shooting guard spot after senior Kristi Kingma was sidelined with an ACL injury, already has earned a GoHuskies.com Student-Athlete of the Week award for her play between Nov. 14-20.

Wetmore scored 16 points with three assists and two steals in the Huskies’ first win of the season, against Seattle University, 72-53.

Three days later, Wetmore notched a career-high 17 points, three assists and a steal in a 73-67 win against Cal State Northridge.

“Everything was just working,” Wetmore said. “Sometimes the shots just really fall for you, and we were able to get a couple of nice wins. I was pretty excited about it. I felt like it was the first step of putting my mark on the school. I feel like my hard work is paying off.”

Wetmore saw limited time as a freshman, averaging just three points and 3.5 assists in 26 games.

“It was a big stepup, just the pace, the level of coaching,” Wetmore said.

“You have to play amazing all the time. It’s always having to play hard all the time and not take any breaks.

You’ll be exposed really quickly if you let down.”

Wetmore was well versed as a leader after guiding Auburn Riverside to state titles in 2007 and 2008. But as a young Husky, she took a supporting role. It proved to be a good opportu-

nity to learn the college game.

“I was able to watch Sarah Morton and Kristi Kingma lead the team,” she said. “It was good to see two strong leaders and how they worked with the team.”

Auburn Mountainview senior Shaddye Melu is well aware of the opportunities he has been offered, both on the court as a member of the Lion varsity boys basketball team and off the court as an American.

Although he’s lived in Auburn for the past eight years, Melu, 16, was born in England and grew up in Zambia, a small nation in Southern Africa. “(Living in different countries) makes me more thankful for what I have here,” he said.

“I may not have all I want, but everything I have is enough. I always have what I need and some people don’t have that.”

The youngest of four children, Melu was born in England while his mother was attending college.

Soon he found himself back with the rest of the family in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, where his father, Bwalya Melu, was the director of World Vision’s Zambia office, directing charitable efforts in the impoverished country.

“I remember being driven to school everyday by a driver,” he said. “My dad had a pretty good job and we had a big house.”

When Melu was 5, the family pulled up stakes and moved to Milton Keynes, a town 49 miles outside of London.

Although language was not a problem – the official language

of Zambia is English – Melu said moving from Africa to England was a bit of a shock.

“It was definitely a huge cultural shock going from a place like Zambia, where a lot of people know each other, to a place that has a lot of people from different cultures,” he said. “Zambia mainly has one culture. And it’s a collective culture, where you do a lot of things as a family. It’s not very individualistic.”

After three years in England, [ more MELU page 19 ]

“I went back and worked out with Denn Pretz,” Wetmore said of the former director of the Auburn Riverside youth program.

“He trained with me a lot this summer” Coupled with a commitment to a regimen with the UW’s strength and conditioning coach, Wetmore was in top shape by the time the Huskies made their nine-day Scandinavian exhibition tour in August.

Wetmore expects to improve even more under new head coach Kevin McGuff, who replaced Tia Jackson this season. The Huskies are off to

Melu said. “And the first thing I noticed was that the traffic lights went straight from red to green. In England they go red to yellow then green. That was one of the first things I noticed.”

Athletically, Melu said his main sport in England was soccer and he played in youth leagues.

That soon gave way to basketball, football and track and field.

“The main teams were basketball and football in elementary and middle school,

the last two years is replaced by veterans who have played a ton of varsity basketball. We are older and more mature, which means stronger both physically and mentally. I look for us to surprise some people outside Auburn this season.”

AUBURN MOUNTAINVIEW COACH: Jon Price, sixth year

KEY GAMES: The Lions test their mettle over Christmas break at the 2011 Surf ’N Slam San Diego Hoop Classic. On Jan. 6, they travel to Lakes to take on the defending 3A state champion in league action.

LAST SEASON: 9-13 overall, seventh place in SPSL 3A with a 5-5 record. Eliminated in sub-district play.

AUBURN RIVERSIDE

TOP RETURNERS: Marion Beauchamp, senior, 6-foot-3 wing/post; JJ Lacey, junior, 6-3 wing; Josh Upchurch, senior, 5-7 guard; Keith Green, Jr., junior, 5-10 guard; Shaddye Melu, senior, 6-1 wing; and Drew Sleezer, senior, 6-7 post.

STRENGTH: Depth and experience with 10 returning lettermen, including SPSL 3A all-league first-teamer Beauchamp and three-year staring point guard Upchurch.

WEAKNESS: Closing out tight games. The Lions lost three of their last four games last season by three points or less.

LAST STATE APPEARANCE: None.

OUTLOOK: Last year the Lions showed a spark of talent.

This year the team looks to fan that spark, according to Price. “This team is as athletic and talented as Auburn Mountainview has ever had. Our youth and inexperience

so I kind of got into that. My apartment complex at Gentry Walk, they had a pretty nice full court basketball court. It just looked intriguing, so me and my brother Josh (who also played for the Auburn Mountainview varsity basketball team) would just go out and play every day.”

Although Melu said he soon took to basketball, it was his introduction to track and field in elementary school that really ignited his competitive fire.

TOP RETURNERS: Prince Ligon, senior, 5-5 guard; Jeray Bates, senior, 6-3 post; Cody Crawford, junior, 6-2 wing; Bridger Harlington, senior, 6-3 wing; and Spenser Armstrong, junior, 6-2 guard.

LAST STATE APPEARANCE: None OUTLOOK: The Ravens lost five players to graduation last season, including their two top scorers, Cameron Grad (20.4 ppg) and Cole Luckett (18.8 ppg). Auburn Riverside will need to find someone to step up. Their best bets are seniors Ligon and Bates, (8.4 and 7.1 ppg average last season.) With their tallest playing standing just 6-3, the team will be tested by squads posting true post players.

Last season, as a junior, Melu competed in the Washington State 4A Boys Track and Field Championship meet, taking seventh in the high jump with a 6-foot-4inch jump, and 12th in the 400-meters with a 51.37-second time.

His performance last season garnered him attention from track coaches from Seattle University, the University of Idaho, Purdue and the UW, which he hopes to attend after graduation.

KEY GAMES: The Ravens get an early test in SPSL North 4A play when they host Kentridge on Dec. 6. Auburn Riverside hosts rival Auburn at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 6.

AUBURN TROJANS COACH: Ryan Hansen, 10th year LAST SEASON: 21-7 overall, first place in the SPSL North 4A with 13-3 record. No. 2 seed out of districts, lost to Jackson in the first round of state tournament.

TOP RETURNERS: Harold Lee, junior, 5-9 guard; Lincoln Burt, senior, 6-1 forward; Nik Edwarson, senior, 6-4 forward; Kendall Ray, senior, 6-8 post; and Spencer Fisher, junior, 6-5 post.

LAST STATE APPEARANCE: 2011 OUTLOOK: The Trojans lost eight seniors from last year’s SPSL North 4A championship team, including Kevin Henderson and Iszia Johnson (22.3 and 17.1 ppg average, respectively). To remain competitive in league they will have to get big contributions from veterans like starting point guard Lee (1.9 ppg) and Edwardson (3.4 ppg), as well as from newcomers such as 6-3 sophomore Marquis Prater, the younger brother of Henderson.

KEY GAMES: The Trojans begin league play at 7:30 p.m.

Friday when they host Tahoma. Auburn travels to Auburn Riverside on Jan. 6 to take on the rival Ravens.

Two years ago, Melu got an opportunity to go back to Zambia on a visit.

“It was nice to see the improvements that have happened,” he said. “It’s not such a big country that has everything together already.

It’s just kind of progressing as every year goes by, even months. It was also nice seeing a lot of my old friends and family, people I hadn’t seen in a long time.”

He credits his trip back, and his time living abroad for

helping him appreciate the gifts available to him as an American.

“It gives me a bigger image of life,” he said. “When I see people that don’t have the same opportunities in life as me, it makes me strive to make it more in life. I have opportunities that they don’t have, like higher education in the best country in the world. Living here gives you much more opportunity than people who are stuck in small countries.”

the Melu family found itself on the move again, this time landing in Auburn.

“When we moved here there wasn’t a lot of family, it was all new to us,” he said.

“The way they do things is just different here. And a lot of the things that we saw on TV were true.”

Melu said he first noticed the little differences.

“We got off the plane and I had just watched the movie ‘The Fast and The Furious’,”

“He’s awesome,” Wetmore said. “We’re just trying to implement his program.”

McGuff’s style hearkens back to the up-tempo, defense-first style Wetmore played at Auburn Riverside.

“We’re focused on defense, pushing the ball and making things happen in transition.

It’s kind of nice to go back to that style for me,” she said.

“We’ve been running up and down the floor at a quicker pace, and it’s a pretty fun style to watch.”

Whether on the court or in the classroom, Wetmore is enjoying the opportunity to play, learn and grow at UW. “I’m really loving it here,” she said.
