Library renovation on schedule Temporary home doing the job as project goes on BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
It’s been more than six months since the Auburn Library closed its doors for renovation. And with six months left before the
new space opens in August, library staff is eager to move out of their temporary space. “We’re a little squished right now, but otherwise the patrons have been flexible, patient and pretty darn cooperative. The staff are troopers,” said Carla Hopkins, who manages the Auburn, Muckleshoot and Algona-Pacific

MAKING A DIFFERENCE Jahn pulls people, resources together to serve community BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@auburn-reporter.com
Outgoing and fun, Amy Jahn is busy on the run. It’s just her nature. A typical day means connecting people, sharing ideas and offering opportunities for people, young
and old, from all walks. It is her purpose in life, as she best understands it, to bring people and businesses together for the betterment of community. She has become a leader, a warm personality who is willing to extend a gentle hand and encourage others, especially the underprivileged. She makes the most of each day, any given circumstance. “Bloom where you’re planted,” Jahn said of her mantra in life. “Have fun with what you do and
with what passion you might have.” For Jahn, a resourceful spoke in the local goodwill and commerce wheel, it means making a difference as a community outreach specialist and business facilitator at the Auburn Valley Y. For her exemplary efforts, the Auburn Reporter has named Jahn its Person of the Year for 2011. “I really enjoy working with people,” said Jahn, who has been a [ more JAHN page 4 ]

Family’s historic house comes down mklaas@auburn-reporter.com
Rod Cartwright stood silent as a demolition crew went to work last Friday morning, carefully tearing down a home that’s stood tall for four generations in his family. “It’s one of the oldest houses ever built on Main Street,” Cartwright said of the estimated 1,500-square-foot, two-story home that was built in 1906. “It’s been in my family since the ’50’s and has quite a history. “Unfortunately, the lack of foundation has caused it to deteriorate over
the years to the point it’s become a liability,” he said. So the worn and weathered house at 1807 E. Main St. slowly came down as family, friends and neighbors looked on. “Years and years of memories … but she couldn’t stand up and had to go,” said LaWanda Cartwright, who grew up with sister Kaye in the house during her junior and senior high school years. LaWanda’s parents, Harry and Mattie Gilliam, bought the home and property from the original owner for $3,000 back in 1952. They later

bought the rest of the land around the home for $2,000. A fire damaged a part of the house but was repaired. The house remained in the family over the years. The Rod and Jenae Cartwright family occupied it for seven years and maintained it. But the house without a foundation gradually gave way to Father Time. “Many memories,” Rod Cartwright said. “A favorite thing to do was to come out on the front porch, talk and sip our coffee in the mornings.” The family intends to keep the lot and rebuild in the future.

During the three-year term, the poet laureate is expected to share their love of poetry with the city and create occasional poems for specific civic events. Brugger’s term runs to the end of 2014. Brugger’s career is filled with accomplishments. He was the driving force behind AYR – one of South King County’s most successful youth and family service agencies that still runs today. Now in retirement, Brugger continues to write poetry and perform readings. He also has been busy writing his memoirs and volunteers on the board at Green River Community College.
“I have had a blessed life,” he said. In other business, the City Council on Tuesday: • Confirmed the appointment of Dan Norman to the Arts Commission for a three-year term expiring Dec. 31, 2014. • Confirmed Ronnie Roberts, Christian McLendon, Margaret Greenslit and Trudy Ginther to the Auburn International Farmers Market advisory board for new three-year terms. • Reappointed Jeanne Coffey and Kenneth Bradford to the Cemetery Board for new three-year terms. • Reappointed Michael Harbin Sr., Cecilia Brugger, AJ (Tony) Ladner and Bette Vangasken to the Human Services Committee for new three-year terms. • Reappointed Michael Hassen to the Parks and Recreation Board for a new three-year term. • Reappointed Bryce Landrud to the Urban Tree Board for a new three-year term.
IN KING COUNTY, 960 motorists were stopped and arrested for driving under the influence (DUI), and statewide, law enforcement officers arrested 3,812 drivers for DUI. Those were the results of the holiday DUI enforcement campaign (Nov. 24 to Jan. 2) released on Tuesday. Last year during the same time period, officers in King County on routine and extra patrols arrested 876 people for DUI. Auburn joined other regional police departments and the Washington State Patrol in the extra emphasis patrols, with the support of the King County Target Zero Task Force. The extra patrols were funded by a grant from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission.

OPINION

?
The day is Christmas Eve – the setting, Avalon Care Center in Federal Way. In a bed in Room 211 an 81-year-old man fights for each breath, but his heart is dying, his body filling with fluid. We, his children, grandchildren and assorted wives and husbands, have come to be with Maurice G. Whale on this last night as himself. We dust off the well-worn family tales and tell stories about the man in the bed that even my brother-in-law hasn’t heard. We cry and laugh by turns. Over the course of that long day, each approaches to talk in the old man’s ears. “Pop, we’re all here” … “Can you hear me?” … “I love you.” As the shadows lengthen, the breathing grows more shallow. “You’re working hard for each breath aren’t you, pop?” my brother says. As I look down on the white hairs and beard, the hands turned wine-dark by medication, the stick-thin legs, the whole man diminished from his days of vitality, a thousand memories of sunnier times crowd the mind. Of endless summer nights, dad’s pancakes on vacations to the Oregon coast, early evening dips in the Green River, visits to Lake Surprise, quiet moments just talking. Photos from the family album flicker on an internal screen: a small black-and-white of dad smiling in a washtub on a fire escape in his native Queens, N.Y.; my mother, she, so beautiful, he, so handsome and cocky in his Coast Guard blues, standing in front of the Burlingame Hotel in Seattle, when everything was young and life lay before them. And just look at that cat-who-swallowedthe-canary grin on his face as he stands at the altar with my mother. What was he thinking about? As the years roll on, there’s Dad and Mom with all six of us kids. An Auburn Globe article, “Daddy gets degree,” featured the whole family in June, 1963, during a busy week when he earned his electrical engineering degree and my little sister, Diane, was born.

Even though this winter has so far been much different than what has been predicted, it is important that people do not take anything for granted. Everyone should be prepared to face any type of disaster. Flooding is just the threat that has been the most visible lately. Our region has the history of being one of the most seismically active in the country. When we have a large earthquake, are you prepared to be selfsufficient for a few weeks? Everyone has heard the TV and radio ads talking about being prepared for three days, three ways. I agree with the three ways (build a kit, make a plan and get training), but I believe that the minimum anyone should prepare for is 10 days to two weeks. One of the areas I plan on staying involved in is emergency preparedness. I am starting a new blog on preparedness at http://criticaltimesconsulting. blogspot.com/. To serve you, I will add additional content, including preparedness tips, opportunities for training and information concerning emergency preparedness in our region.

Health experts are hoping that reports about the risk of side effects associated with bone-strengthening “bisphosphonate” drugs do not prevent people from reaping their benefits. While the FDA warned that bisphosphonate use may increase the risk of an unusual type of thigh fracture and jaw osteonecrosis, some wonder whether overstating the side-effect risk has led patients to stop taking these medications when they should be taking them. The fact is that these drugs, which prevent bone loss, have helped reduce the incidence of bone fractures linked to osteoporosis among postmenopausal women in recent years. In addition, research now shows that bisphosphonates also help elderly women live longer. The drugs’ benefits seem to largely outweigh their risks.

Crews also began work this week on the electrical system for the building. “We’re on schedule for a substantial completion by the contractor in mid-May,” Smith added. He explained that once completed, all that would be left is to finish work on the inside of the building
has offered basic services – including book ordering and a limited inventory of DVDs and books for children and adults – the space is much smaller than the main library and offers limited online connectivity. “The patrons have been receptive but it is a smaller place,” Hopkins said. “In the old library, people had one to two hours they could spend on the computers, or they could bring their own laptops or check out one of ours. Here, we’re limited by our Internet connectivity. Wi-Fi is not available, and they only have a half-hour on the computers. So that’s been kind of hard on folks.” Despite being advised to use other nearby KCLS libraries, Hopkins said many of the Auburn Library’s regulars are still coming in. “It’s the same folks who we’re used to seeing,” she
and transfer the libraries’ materials and equipment. “We don’t anticipate opening the library before August,” Smith said. Once completed, patrons can expect many changes to the library, tantamount being the increase in size. “It’s bigger, 5,000 square feet larger,” Smith said. “It will be a lot more visible. There is much more glass. You’ll be able to see in and out of the building. The entry will be more open and inviting, and we’ve relocated the restrooms.” Smith explained that the restrooms, which used to be off the main entry way, will be moved to a different corner of the building. In addition, the library will feature state-of-the-art automated materials equipment, which will allow patrons to check out materials themselves, and more wireless capacity, which will
allow more patrons to hook up to the Internet with their own laptops. For Hopkins and the rest of the library staff, many of whom are working at other libraries until the new space is completed, anticipation is high for the opening of the new library. “We’re just counting down the months until the new library opens and we can move in and have a celebration,” she said.

Bowles steps down as Lion coach
Auburn hosts second Tanoa Bowl games
AMV volleyball head coach retires to pursue passion for candy making business
BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
For players and coaches at the Tanoa Bowl, it’s about more than just football. In just its second year of existence, the bowl – the brainchild of Simi Strickland of Ultimate Edge Sports – has become a premiere showcase with more than 140 of the best high school football players from Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Utah suiting up for a pair of games last Saturday at Auburn Memorial Stadium. As ferocious as the action on the field was – with Alaska pounding Oregon 40-0 and Washington falling to Utah 45-24 – the air of camaraderie was just as strong during the three-day event. Open to players of any ethnicity, the Tanoa Bowl’s roots (a tanoa is a traditional wood-carved serving bowl common in Samoa, Tonga and Fiji) are firmly planted in Polynesian culture. “We are building family and brotherhood with our Polynesian roots and have opened our arms to all of our brothers to [ more TANOA page 10 ]

For the past seven years, Momi Bowles’ Auburn Mountainview volleyball program has established and maintained a tradition of success that includes six consecutive trips to the state tournament. Change, however, is inevitable and last week Bowles stepped down as coach to concentrate on her candy making business. Despite leaving as the driving force behind the Lions’ success since the school opened in 2005, Bowles is confident that a firm foundation is in place to support a strong future for the program. “Auburn Mountainview has been where I’ve experienced the most success, and I attribute that to me starting the program from the ground up,” Bowles said. “It was really a program we created. Our slogan was ‘We Are Mountainview,’ and I preached that constantly. We interacted with each other, worked hard at practice on that and the idea that we will be held accountable someday for starting this, and we need to hold our heads up high and be proud of that.”

STEVE VANDEGRIFT, Photographs of Life career in Alaska, Bowles played volleyball at Gonzaga University, where she helped lead the Bulldogs to their first trip to the NCAA Division I tournament. After graduating in 1992, she jumped into coaching and became an assistant at Gonzaga. In 1994, she began her prep coaching career at Wellpinit High School on the Spokane Indian Reservation, before moving on to North Central High where she was the volleyball coach for 10 years. In 2001, Bowles moved on to Kent-Meridian where she
coached for three years before leaving to start the program at Auburn Mountainview in 2005. By the time she took over the Lions’ program, Bowles had perfected her team-first coaching style, focusing on player unity rather than just the win-loss record. The Lions managed to string together an impressive record during Bowles’ tenure, winning three South Puget Sound League 3A championships (2009, 2010, 2011), a West Central District

NFL’s Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. “It felt good to meet exNFL players and coaches,” Aumua said. “He shared with us things his coaches used to say to him. It’s rare to meet NFL coaches and players who come to teach you the fundamentals of football.” Aumua looks forward to his senior season with the Lions. “We’re excited. We’ve got a lot of returners,” he said. “I feel pretty comfortable with our season next year. I feel we’re going to do better things and make this school proud.”

Although Bowles acquired a lifetime of memories in her time with the program, she fondly remembers the 2008 district championship team. “I hear from more girls from that team than any other team,” Bowles said. “A lot of it revolves around the stuff we worked on as a team. We didn’t talk about winning. And when you get that team that does well, you hope it doesn’t get pulled into that trap where it becomes all about a banner. And that group, more than any other, has made it clear how much of an impact being in the program has had on their lives. To me that’s what my coaching has always been about.”
CANDY MAKER
About three years ago Bowles stumbled upon a new passion when she acquired the secret recipe to a candy concoction she calls Mom’s Buttery Soft Toffee. “It’s my friend’s mom’s secret recipe,” Bowles said. “I waited 10 years to get the recipe. And once I did, I

seemed the right time to move into and start working on some new professional and personal goals for myself. And to know that I could finish here at Mountainview having accomplished a job well done and set up the program the way I wanted to, it was time.” Although Bowles plans to devote a good part of her energy to her business, she will remain at Auburn Mountainview as a physical education teacher. She hopes to do some club coaching in the future and continue her role as director of the Gonzaga summer volleyball camp. “I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished with the program here,” Bowles said. “I’m really hoping that they can fill (the coaching spot) with someone who will appreciate the selflessness of the program and what’s been set up. “There is obviously a lot of talent here and my hope is that they won’t skip a beat. That was one of the things that I shared with all the kids. I told them they should march right back to state next year.

told her I was going to turn it into a business.” Bowles got to work cooking up batches of toffee and taking orders at local Christmas shows. The candy was a huge hit. “We would sell out,” she said. “And we were even cooking after the shows each night trying to keep up with demand.” As her candy business grew year after year, Bowles realized that she would soon have to make a hard choice. “The problem was that when I started that I had no idea how these two seasons parallel each other,” Bowles said. “Literally, from the moment volleyball starts is the moment it’s time to prepare for seasonal candy. It became apparent this year that something was going to have to give. To go from school to practice, to cooking, to cutting and to packing and to do that all throughout the season, it was difficult.” Bowles continued: “I love my volleyball program here,” Bowles said. “But I think after this season, I just sat down and took an honest look at the amount of time that each of these took.

Once they come join our Tanoa Family, they will always have a place with us here.” Auburn Mountainview junior Nick Aumua joined Auburn’s Cyrus Laumatia and Neko Raynon on Team Washington. For Aumua, the event was a chance to test his skills as well as celebrate his heritage. “It’s pretty important, it’s about tradition,” Aumua
said. “It feels pretty good to be a part of an organization and to represent your culture and your school. It was fun but competitive at the same time.” For Aumua, a 6-foot-2, 235-pound lineman and a member of the 6-4 Lions last fall, the event also was a chance to get his name out there for college recruiters. “I’m from California, so my heart is set on going to USC,” he said.

90 million albums while charting seven top-10 albums and seven top-10 singles. The band has been honored with seven Grammy awards for its music and is renown for its electrifying stage presence. For Smith, it was that first taste of the band live in the late 1970s, that started him on his path. “The first concert I went to was Earth, Wind & Fire,” he said. From that moment Smith, originally from Oakland, said he toyed with the idea of forming an Earth, Wind & Fire tribute. “There is just no other band better to do a tribute to,” he said. “It’s the music. It’s the message. It’s the spirit of the whole thing. It reaches all ages, all genres of folk.” While on the road per-
forming with bands such as Tony! Toni! Toné! and Kool and the Gang, Smith formulated his plan, charting out the songs of Earth, Wind & Fire, preparing for the time when he could bring them to life on stage. A couple of years ago, after moving to the Pacific Northwest, the notion became reality for Smith. “I just finally got the right folks lined up,” Smith said. Featuring co-lead vocalist D’Maurice, drummer Jeff Haile, keyboardist Micheal Miller, guitarist Gary Tobin, bassist Derek James, trombonist John Groves, trumpeter Ray Baldwin and saxophonist Chris Siegmund, Kalimba played their first show this summer at the Taste of Tacoma. “We got a wonderful reaction,” Smith said. “The mood is different when you

Betty J. (Juanita) Van Kleek
Juanita passed away peacefully at Tacoma General Hospital on December 27, 2011 after a short battle with lymphoma. She was born in Springdale, AR on December 30, 1930 as the oldest child of Bertha and James Fredrick. Her childhood was spent in Scammon, KS and later in Tieton, WA where she met her future husband while working in the apple orchards. Juanita and Gordon were married on August 3, 1947 in Adna,WA. They lived in Chehalis, later moving to Auburn where they raised their family. Juanita’s first loves were her family and her God. She was greatly loved and cherished by all her family and many who felt like an honorary member of her family. She devoted her life to introducing children to Jesus and serving her church. She began teaching children’s Sunday School classes at age 17 at Auburn Free Methodist Church and continued until her recent illness. In 1969 she began working at the church’s day care center. Except for a brief interlude to care for her ailing husband, Juanita continued her ministry there until May of 2011. She was also a consistent presence in the kitchen at church events. Juanita is preceded in death by her parents Bertha and James Fredrick, her sister Evelyn Reeves, granddaughter Christine Clark and Juanita’s husband Gordon Van Kleek. She is survived by her brother Gene (Margaret) Fredrick, her daughter Betty (Dave) Clark, son Fred (Carole) Van Kleek, six grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Earth Wind & Fire tribute band Kalimba filled the dance floor at Club Galaxy inside the Muckleshoot Casino in December. CHARLES CORTES, Auburn Reporter
come and see us. The crowd is even different. It’s all ages, all nationalities, and everybody is dancing.” Tobin, who also handles much of the business end of the band, agreed. “I think a lot of people show up because they reflect and remember the feeling (from Earth, Wind & Fire),” Tobin said. “And for the young kids it’s something new, it’s entirely different from anything they’ve been listening to. It’s still got the pull.” The key to the draw Smith said, is the positive spiritual thrust of the music, the message behind the tunes. “The message is about something we don’t talk about in music much anymore,” Smith said. “It’s about uplifting everybody, it’s about saying it’s going to be OK.” “You’re a shining star,” Tobin added, referencing the band’s 1975 No. 1 hit. “It doesn’t matter who you are,” Smith chimed in. “It’s about keeping your head up to the sky. Of course, we’re going to go
through things everyday. You’ve got to go through things to make you strong. But that music is just uplifting. That’s what their songs do. It’s not often you can hear a song and that’s your shot of five-hour energy in a two-minute song.” Visually, Kalimba seeks to emulate a little of the Earth, Wind & Fire live experience as well. Although obviously, impossible to match the enormous stage show budgets and pyrotechnic displays, the band seeks to be visually appealing. “We dress sharp, the stage has to be sharp,” Smith said. “A good stage presence and beautiful sound is what it’s all about.” At the core, however, is the music and the message. “It’s all about taking care of each other, loving each other and trying to reach a higher level of spiritual being,” Smith said. “And when it’s done right, it’s just that feeling that Earth, Wind & Fire brings to you. It’s tough to put into words. It’s just that feeling.”

OPEN HOUSE: January 12, 2012 6:00 – 8:00 pm North Tapps Middle School 20029 12th Street E, Lake Tapps WA
Learn more about why Cascade’s Lake Tapps Reservoir Property Management Policy ensures a safe lake for all. Cascade is developing a formal policy regarding the use of its property by third parties around the Reservoir. We invite you to join us for a community Open House next week to learn more about the policy, why it’s important to ensure a safe lake for all, and what you need to do if you have a construction or improvement project on Cascade’s Lake Tapps Reservoir property. Participants can ask questions of staff as well as get information regarding applicable jurisdictional permits. In short, the policy states any new improvements or modifications on Cascade property will require a license from Cascade, as well as the appropriate permits from state and local jurisdictions as required. Existing structures or facilities on Cascade property may be “grandfathered” if Cascade determines that they do not pose an adverse impact on the operations of the Reservoir, or pose a danger to public health or safety. Cascade’s goal is to keep the property free of obstructions and unauthorized structures to ensure that ddike integrity, water quality and public safety are not compromised.
