District pushes for crucial high school bond By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Herren

On most days Auburn School District Superintendent Kip Herren sports a respectable suit – often, gunmetal gray, spiffy tie. But lately Herren has been spot-

ted at public meanings in, shall we say, dress-down duds – a two-piece, wooden sandwich board slung over those spiffy threads. On one side of the board, images of 62-year-old Auburn High School, weary boilers, cracked ceilings, outdated electrical

systems, sundry wrinkles, age spots. On the other, Auburn High School as it could be a state-of-the-art, three-story building facing East Main Street, with a sharp red brick exterior and spanking new interior ventilation and heating systems.

“I ask kids I see what school they would like to go to, and they say, ‘that one,’” Herren said, pointing to an artist’s rendering of the proposed AHS, “but their parents went to that one,” he added, pointing to the present high school. [ more BOND page 5 ]

A Pierce County Superior Court judge on Tuesday upheld an order demanding that beleaguered Pacific Mayor Cy Sun begin the hiring process for vacant City staff positions. The Pacific City Council and City Attorney Kenyon Luce asked Sun the court last week to issue a Writ of Mandate, ordering Sun to begin the hiring processes and lift a hiring freeze in place on the City’s police department or face fines and possible jail time. Although Judge Ronald Culpepper declined to add several of the original writ’s mandates – among them, ordering the

Soroptimists to usher in Domestic Violence Month Soroptimist International of Auburn will “light up Auburn purple” – the color associated with domestic violence – as it joins the Domestic Violence Victims Task Force to provide awareness of October as Domestic Violence Month. A ceremony starts at noon Monday at Auburn City Hall plaza area, 25 W. Main St. The ceremony includes a message from Mayor Pete Lewis, award recognition to those dedicated to the service of helping survivors, plus information about human trafficking.

Special Day of Service Auburn-area members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints participated in a National Day of Service on Sept. 15. Among the many acts of service throughout the Auburn area was a project by the Lake Holm Ward that focused on the Historic Neely Mansion. More than 100 volunteers, young and old, made repairs, painted, restored significant landscaping and cleaned up.

Rod Call, one of the local LDS bishops, expressed his appreciation for all those who made a difference in their community. “It is hard to personally get to know everyone in a community, but we can still be connected through individual and community service to each other.” Volunteers worked a total of 300 hours on the project.

For the band’s lead guitarist Kevin Wasserman, better known as Noodles, it’s been quite a ride. The band formed in Orange County, Calif., in 1984 when lead vocalist Bryan “Dexter” Holland, bassist Greg Kriesel (Greg K.) and Noodles got together to pound out some punk songs in the vein of its influences, punk pioneers like the Dead Kennedys and The Ramones. “The first 10 years, we just did it as hobby,” Noodles said. “We played on weekends and summer vacations.” In 1989, after recording several demos, The Offspring put out its self-titled debut album, following it up in 1992 with “Ignition.” In 1994, however, the band hit the big time, when its third album, “Smash”, released on indie label Epitaph, hit the stratosphere. “It was a little scary, to be honest,” Noodles said. “It was cool and exciting, but a little scary. I was still working as a custodian for a school district and I had to give that up to tour. But I wasn’t sure, so I took a leave of absence instead of just quitting. I still remember when the three years of my absence had passed and I realized there was no going back.” Not everyone, however, was that happy about the band’s runaway success. Many in the tight-knit punk rock community accused the band of selling out, not staying true to the genre’s do-it-yourself, roots ethos. “You have to take that with a grain of salt,” Noodles said. “Some people just don’t want to share their band with everybody

Purple lights around the Auburn Justice Center and City Hall will be on, with the addition of purple ribbons down Auburn’s Main Street. The lights and ribbons will remain up throughout October as a reminder to reflect on the responsibilities of communities and citizens to build healthy, thriving families free from the threat of violence. Soroptimist International is an organization of professional working women whose mission is to improve the lives of women and girls in its community and throughout the world. For more information, visit www.siauburn.org. else. We didn’t change the way we did records when ‘Smash’ came out. We didn’t change anything about how we made records. And we’re still doing the same thing. It was mostly from the corners of the punk rock scene and new kids who didn’t want to share that with everyone else.” Throughout the 1990s and the 2000s, The Offspring continued to push the boundaries of its genre, retaining shadings of its punk rock roots while maturing sonically as a band. “I think we started texturing the songs a lot more,” Noodles said. “There is a lot more deeper stuff in the songs that don’t stand out, that you have to listen close to pick out.” Despite a bit of polish on its recordings these days, including its recently released ninth album “Days Go By,” Noodles still considers the band punk. “It’s about breaking the rules, questioning what’s expected and just breaking the rules,” he said. “It’s about bringing back the rebelliousness of the original rock and roll bands.” And despite being on the edge of turning 50-yearsold, Noodles said he can’t imagine not making music and playing live. “It’s something I can’t imagine not ever doing. I can’t imagine quitting. It’s what I love to do,” he said. “I’m sure at some point it’s going to be ridiculous going out with a walker and trying to get my guitar to work, but I can’t imagine not doing this.” The Offspring and Pain In The Grass kick off at 1:30 p.m. at White River.

Waste Management to serve ANNEXED area The City of Auburn’s contracted solid waste hauler, Waste Management, assumes collection and disposal of solid waste on Monday, Oct. 1 in the southeast portion of the Pierce County Annexation Area. The area includes the communities of Portola, Portofino, The Reserve and Northlake. The area was annexed in 2005. Residents in the area will be billed by the City for services effective Oct. 1. Residents in the area now will have recycle collection at no additional cost (including glass bottles and jars), weekly compostables (yard waste, food and foodsoiled paper) collection with subscription, and monthly billing. Visit www.auburnwa. gov/solidwaste for a map indicating area of change, rates and other information.

City of Auburn launches new-look website The City of Auburn has launched a redesigned website www.auburnwa.gov with some new features and a fresh, user-friendly design. The goal of the redesign was to create a user experience that is more efficient, using the many tools that make doing business with the City of Auburn more convenient. Led by the Innovation & Technology Department, the website team’s primary focus was user-experience. Upon coming to the new homepage, users are greeted with a prominently displayed “I Want To …” link that will open up a list of the most widely-used options on the site.

Artist, crew to recreate, replace bronze deer By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

In August thieves sawed through the deer’s legs and stole it, leaving behind four hooves to testify that the bronze art piece, “The Long Look”, had ever graced Centennial Park across from Mountain View Cemetery. Efforts to find the perps and get the piece back went nowhere. Now the City of Auburn has commissioned the original artist, Brad Rude, to recreate the popular work, restoring its to its perch atop the log at the park across the road

from the cemetery and its watch over the valley floor. City workers set things in motion Tuesday morning by removing the metal log with the hooves attached. Majia McKnight, arts coordinator for Auburn’s Parks, Arts and Recreation Department, said the piece was insured, as are all art works on public display in the city. “We’re working with the artist to determine when he will be able to come out here. He’ll take the log portion, which was secured in the concrete, back to his studio where he will recreate, not exactly the

same piece, but close. It should be ready by the spring of next year.” The City will shift the location to ensure better visibility from the road and put in place unspecified security measures to deter future thievery and vandalism. Before the recent act of vandalism and theft, “The Long Look” had survived previous attacks, the most recent in 2005. The City responded on that occasion by welding the legs back on and putting “extra heft” in them. Staff at that time also cut back bushes that had blocked the sight of

People are invited to attend the 14th annual Reaching Out Fair on Thursday, Oct. 1 at the Auburn Performing Arts Center, 700 E. Main St. The Cities & Schools Forum hosts the event, designed for Auburn middle school students and their families. The fair, which runs from 5:30-8:45 p.m., features a resource information fair; a free pizza dinner and dessert; informative

breakout sessions; a chance to win $1,400 in scholarships and prizes; and a live finale. Students and their families have the opportunity to learn how to plan and prepare for high school, college and careers. Representatives from more than 50 community agencies and organizations, colleges and universities, career and technical programs, apprenticeship programs, advanced placement, and business and industry will provide information.

the park from road. Theft, McKnight conceded, is always a concern with the City’s public art pieces. “It’s in the public sphere, and part of the joy is it’s out there where anyone can access it. At the same time, the danger is we can’t protect it, can’t put it under lock and key. Our maintenance program checks in on them regularly to make sure everything is OK.” The Auburn Arts Commission originally commissioned the work in 1992 from Rude, an artist affiliated with the Walla Walla Foundry. The Miss Auburn Scholarship program has announced open recruitment for contestants of the Miss Auburn and Auburn’s Outstanding Teen pageants. The program last year provided more than $65,000 in scholarships to young women in the Auburn community to help further their educational goals, plus development in talent and interview skills. The program also encourages mentorship through being a Little Sister to a Miss contestant or Little Princess to a Teen contestant. They share in the fun of appearances in parades and other events, plus learning a dance number to showcase on stage pageant night. Visit www.missauburn.org for more information and to apply.

Neely Mansion, its families are focus of short-film series For the Reporter

Historic Neely Mansion and its families are the subject of a short-film series. The filming of a series of five short videos depicting the histories of each of the five families who lived at the Neely Mansion began last week and continued through the early part of this week at locations throughout South King County. The last of King County’s grand Victorian-era farmhouses, Neely Mansion was completed in 1894 and remains an iconic symbol of South King County. Built by one of Washington Territory’s earliest and most influential pioneer families, the mansion, and the surrounding grounds reflect their legacy and that of the Swiss, Japanese and Filipino tenant farmers who lived there. One of the families built a Japanese-style bathhouse in 1930, the only one of

its type remaining in King County. Funded by 4Culture, the cultural services agency for King County, and filmed by Hero Labs, shooting locations include Neely Mansion, Mosby Farms on the Green Valley Road Heritage Corridor, the Mary Olson Farm, Auburn and the Barker Cabin in West Hylebos Park, Federal Way. Local residents provided the use of vintage vehicles, and the part of pioneer David Neely, father of the man who built Neely Mansion, will be played by Green Valley Road resident Doug Cross. Neely Mansion is a county, state and national landmark, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is located at 12303 Auburn-Black Diamond Road, Auburn, just east of the Highway 18 AuburnBlack Diamond Road exit. Visit www.neelymansion. org for more information.

Cascade Water Alliance will begin to drop lake levels on Nov. 1. This fall and winter, unlike previous years, Cascade will maintain the lake at approximately elevation 538 feet through the holidays. Lowering of lake levels during the winter is necessary to ensure protection of dikes and the integrity of the lake. Cascade can maintain this higher than usual winter lake level because there are no dike repairs anticipated this season. However, if any issues arise that require attention and the lake must be drawn down further to address them, homeowners will be notified. Cascade expects to begin the spring refill as early as mid- to late-February, reaching recreational lake levels (minimum elevation 541.5 feet) no later than April 15.

Herren slips into that sandwich board with pride because he wants everyone to know about the $110 million Auburn High School modernization and reconstruction bond measure on the Nov. 6 general election ballot. Wants them to know why it matters so much. It matters, he said, because the aging AHS is longer cost-effective to operate and maintain. Critically needed repairs include leaking roofs, poor air quality and ventilation and outdated classrooms and labs. Those geezer systems are costing the district $250,000 more in energy costs per year than all the other schools. District officials realize that some supporters are wary of putting the measure on the fall general election ballot, where it will complete not only with the presidential election but with various referenda and initiatives. “We’re figuring we want as many members of the community that voted in the last election as we can get. We want a big turnout. We figure this is the issue at the local level, and we want everybody to have a say,” Herren said. Results of the two previous attempts give supporters hope. When the district first ran the bond in 2009, it garnered 46-percent of the vote, 14 percentage points below the supermajority state law requires for bond measures to pass. In

Police taking back unwanted prescription drugs on Saturday The Auburn Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your medications for disposal to the Auburn Police Department lobby at 340 E. Main, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. The service is free, anonymous and no questions asked. Auburn Police pur-

chased a secure prescription medication dropbox in April 2011, and installed it in the police department lobby. Officials want to remind and encourage citizens to utilize this service April 28 and continue to take advantage of the drop box that is available to citizens permanently. Items acceptable to be placed in the drop box: • Prescription medications • Over-the-counter medications • Medication samples • Medications for pets • Vitamins • Medicated ointments/ lotions • Inhalers • Liquid Medication (in

www.auburn-reporter.com leak proof containers up to 12 ounces) Items not accepted: • Needles/syringes/ lancets • Thermometers • IV bags • Bloody or infectious waste • Hydrogen peroxide • Empty Containers • Aerosol cans • Personal care products (non-medicated shampoo, etc.) Last October, Americans turned in 377,080 pounds – 188.5 tons – of prescription drugs at more than 5,300 sites operated by the DEA and nearly 4,000 state and local law enforcement partners.

Question of the week:

“Is Auburn appropriate for a solid waste transfer station?”

Vote online:

www.auburn-reporter.com Last week’s poll results:

● Q UO T E O F NO T E : “I’ll be honest, if people vote this down, their taxes will go down – and so will their schools. It’s like a community imperative to decide.” – Auburn School District Superintendent Kip Herren, talking about the Nov. 6 vote on the Auburn High School construction bond. GUEST OP

Vote yes for schools by Nov. 6 As election day approaches, it is important to remember to keep a watchful eye on local issues, as well as the big issues, impacting voters throughout the state and nation. An issue of vital importance for our community and Auburn students is the reconstruction and modernization bond before voters this fall. Teachers and students at Auburn High School daily address deficiencies in climate control and have very hot or cold classrooms, have been subject to periodic pipe bursts that flood spaces and teach and learn in spaces not suited to 21st-century education and the full achievement our district’s students are capable of attaining. The escalating maintenance and operations costs – in key infrastructure repairs and elevated energy and operations costs – impact the district and take vital funds that could be better directed into supporting student learning and achievement. The new building will save more than $250,000 annually in these expenses. [ more GUEST OP page 8 ]

Federal health care law will worsen doctor shortage President Obama’s national health care law, the Affordable Care Act, will extend health care coverage to tens of millions of uninsured Americans. But health care coverage isn’t the same as health care. The problem is a shortage of doctors. The New York Times reports that, just as the ACA is poised to add millions to the health insurance rolls, the U.S. is on the brink of a critical doctor shortage.

Let’s build a new school We all want to get our money’s worth, so why are we willing to keep pouring our tax dollars down the money pit of the old Auburn High School building instead of voting to build a new school while construction costs, loan rates, etc. are at an all-time low and a $25 million state grant is available? Auburn High utilities cost a ridiculous $250,000 per year and still the students roast in the spring and fall and freeze in the winter. That’s more than utilities costs at Auburn Riverside and Auburn Mountainview combined. The new school is designed to last twice as long and will be energy efficient, safe and designed around 21st-century teaching and learning. Auburn High School has great programs, faculty and students, but shabby surroundings don’t show them that we are proud of all their hard work. They shouldn’t have to live with a boiler that needs parts custom made when it breaks down and drip buckets in their classroom when it rains. A well-educated population leads to low crime, a better tax base, etc., but we have to make the initial investment in our children’s education. Times are hard, but a project like this will provide jobs for local families, show our students that we support their education and lead to a stronger city over all.

Farmers market enjoys season under the sun The record-breaking Auburn International Farmers Market (AIFM) season has come to a close. This was my third season to participate as a proud advisory board member and active person dedicating more than 200 hours of volunteer time. I helped the market obtain funding through sponsorships and donations, finding volunteers to provide all kinds of support, including free entertainment, created marketing materials and showing up every Sunday from June

10-Sept. 23 at 7 a.m. until well after closing. We provided local crafts, entertainment and information from a variety of community nonprofits, beautiful flowers and fresh food from farm to table. Our vendors tell us that we are their favorite market. We know that is true since over half came for the entire season. Joanne Macnab, our market manager, does an amazing job with a very small budget. Because of her expertise and passion, and the support of Auburn City Council, with council member Bill Peloza as the main cheerleader, we’ve been able to garner support from many local businesses and organizations. We were blessed with a hand-washing station last year and a cooking demonstration unit this year from Waste Management. Our first food demonstration was a tailgate lunch menu using produce from the market. The variety of entertainment has been done mostly by volunteers. The AIFM has a regular following of happy citizens that come every Sunday. Our season was jammed with special events, including International Day, Kids Day, Dog Days of Summer, Senior Appreciation Day, National Farmers Market Week, Sister City Day and a chili cook-off between the Auburn Police Department and Valley Regional Fire Authority, which raised donations given to the Auburn Food Bank for those in need.

Don’t believe market’s rankings In response to the letter by Bill Peloza about the Auburn International Farmers Market (“Meager market, shame on you”, Reporter, Sept. 21), it sounded to me like another political partial truth we read or hear so much about lately. As far as the AIFM being 12th best in the United States? I don’t think so. I went on the Web, and the only one listed in Washington state was the University District in Seattle. The statement about being one of the top 5 favorites in Washington state? I’m not sure who even knew about voting for that, but I did see there were a total of 32 votes for the AIFM. I suspect those votes were made by the market volunteers and the City Council.

Dao Thao and Ben Lo were among the vendors who sold their fresh vegetables and flowers to customers at the Auburn Farmers Market this season. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter I visited the market probably three times this year and yes, I was disappointed and did not make a purchase. Maybe I just picked the wrong days to go. It did not appear to me that there were more vendors or people attending it than last year. I hope in the future it does better, but it will not be on my list to attend. – Becky Prenovost

Farmers market needs growth I would think the Auburn residents are thinking shame on you, Bill Peloza, for sitting on the City Council and being satisfied with the Auburn Farmers Market. You would think, you being the founder of the market, you would strive for growth, not monotony. Instead of taking a defensive stand, take a hard look at the market and realize it has great potential to be amazing with an additional variety of vendors. After four years, the market has not shown any growth in

achieved the basic rights and have not been discriminated against.” I respectfully disagree. I would argue that any couple who desires marriage does so for very similar reasons, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. We all want to celebrate our commitment to the one we love. However, when one group of people gains “rights” (benefits such as child custody, medical decision-making power, access to family insurance policies, inheritance, etc.) through marriage while another group is denied those same rights and benefits based solely on sexual orientation, that is the very definition of discrimination. Voting against Referendum 74 is voting to support this kind of discrimination. It would be nice if those who profess to value marriage so much would stop being insecure about their own marriages being threatened and would instead be generous in sharing the joy of marriage with others who desire it also. I think marriage is great. Therefore, I’m voting for Referendum 74.

Developer unveils Four Lakes apartment home community For the Reporter

Tarragon hosted a grand opening last Saturday to celebrate Four Lakes, Auburn/Lake Tapps’ newest luxury apartment home community. The apartment community is at 6821 Udall Place SE, in the Lakeland Hills area of Auburn, about a half mile east of the Lakeland Hills Shopping Center. With 234 residential units, Four Lakes offers an amenity-filled living environment. “Our lodge is a greatly

[ my turn from page 7 ] of American Medical Colleges estimates that by 2015, the U.S. will have 62,900 fewer doctors than needed, a figure that will more than double by 2025. Critics fear such shortages will result in long waits for treatment, a problem that plagues universal health care programs. In Britain, the number of patients waiting more than six months for inpatient treatment rose 43 percent in 2011, even as the National Health Service treated fewer patients. The British Medical Association said the situation was inevitable: “Given the massive financial pressures on the NHS, it was always likely that hospital activity would decrease and waiting times would increase,” said a spokesperson. Massachusetts, which adopted universal health care in 2006, is having similar problems. The Associated Press reports that a survey last year by the Massachusetts Medical Society found long waits just to get a doctor’s appointment: an average of 48 days for an internist and 36 days for a physician of family

upgraded response to the traditional clubhouse,” said Dave Henline, Tarragon’s senior development manager of Four Lakes. The lodge has a living room, television room, conference room with attached breakout area, a kitchen and two additional gathering areas. Residents can rent the lodge for private events. Besides the lodge, Four Lakes offers activity areas. The outdoor area includes a large pool, an outdoor fireplace, a three-season room

medicine – and more than half of primary care doctors are no longer taking new patients. To make matters worse, state lawmakers capped reimbursements for doctors and hospitals in a desperate effort to stem rising health care costs. Part of the problem is that the baby boom generation is getting older. “Older Americans require significantly more health care,” said Dr. Darrell G. Kirch, president of the Association of American Medical Colleges. “Older individuals are more likely to have multiple chronic conditions, requiring more intensive, coordinated care.” But the national health reform law itself is creating challenges. The ACA will funnel millions of uninsured into an expanded Medicaid program which is already suffering from a doctor shortage due to low reimbursements. How will the program handle millions more patients when its current

roster of doctors is dwindling? In addition, about a third of the nation’s doctors are nearing retirement. But the federal law may prompt even more doctors to leave the profession. A survey of physicians by The Doctors Company, the nation’s largest medical liability insurer, found that 43 percent of the respondents were considering retiring within the next five years because of the federal law. The future may not look much better. Nine out of 10 physicians who responded to the survey said they wouldn’t recommend health care as a profession. One primary care physician commented, “I would not recommend becoming an M.D. to anyone.” Dr. Donald J. Palmisano, former president of the American Medical Association, warns, “Today, we are perilously close to a true crisis as newly insured Americans enter the health care system and our popu-

lation continues to age.” If current physicians leave the practice early because of the health law, the problem will get even worse. Medical schools are gearing up to turn out more doctors, but it will take at least a decade to produce an additional 3,000 doctors, a tiny fraction of what’s needed. The Affordable Care Act — and our state’s own health reform law — were supposed to increase preventive care and reduce costly emergency room use by the uninsured. But with a shortage of primary care physicians, preventive care will remain elusive, and our emergency rooms will stay jammed for decades. So, our state and federal officials must answer this question: How will you ensure that people actually get the affordable health care you promised?

CAPTURING ALL THE BEAUTY Young photographer emerges with her images of nature, other things When Katelyn Cooper was 2 years old she was clicking photos from a filmloaded Fisher-Price camera. “She was doing perspective shots before her third birthday,” said her mother, Nicole. Today the Auburn girl has become a blossoming artist, a precocious amateur photographer behind the

lens of a multi-faceted Canon. Nature and wildlife capture the imaginative eye of 12-year-old Katelyn, a quick study with the shutter, whose beautiful images are on display in the Cheryl Sallee Gallery at the Auburn Senior Activity Center through October. “There’s something about nature and its beauty,” said Katelyn, a seventh-grader at Seabury Middle School,

It’s pure.” Her photos – from critters to rural-scapes - are genuine and intriguing. “She sees things differently,” said Katelyn’s father, Wes, a photographer himself. “She takes angles that I don’t even consider.” To hone her skills and build her technical foundation with a camera, Katelyn completed a photography class with the Mountaineers, the first of her age to do so with the Seattle-area group. Katelyn, who has been

selling her photography since she was 9, has won several photography contests, including a second place in a contest co-sponsored by National Geographic. “It would be cool to be a National Geographic photographer,” she said. In March, she sold her photos, raising nearly $1,000 to help classmates’ cultural trip to France. In May, she participated in Auburn’s Art Walk event, and has been asked to return for future art events in Auburn. For Katelyn, photography is a passionate hobby she wishes to express artistically for many years to come. Visit Katelyn’s shop at www.rhythmicrain.etsy. com.

Striped Water Poets’ McBreen wins contest Prize-winning poet Gerald A. McBreen, coordinator of Auburn’s Striped Water Poets, recently was awarded the title of Senior Poet Laureate of Washington State 2012. The contest, in its 20th year, is sponsored by Amy Kitchener’s

Angels Without Wings Foundation of Monterey, Calif. Competition is for American poets age 50 and up. With this award McBreen has the unique distinction of holding three poet laureate positions simultaneously. In celebration of its centennial year (2009), the Pacific City Council appointed him its poet laureate. A few

months later, Auburn Morning Toastmasters honored him with the same title. Among his other awards he was named Poet of the Month in the summer issue of the online publication, Irish American Post. McBreen’s winning poem, “Fellow Traveler”, soon will be published in the anthology Golden Words 2012.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

Food & Farmer’s Market

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.

Big-play Harold Lee returns for Trojans By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Physically and mentally, last football season put Harold Lee through the ringer. After a promising start to his junior year with the Auburn High School Trojans, the 5-foot-9, 160-pound receiver, defensive back and returner broke his leg in the second game. No big hit, no cataclysmic collision, but the moment gouged itself a spot in Lee’s memory. “It was against Mount Rainier, just a pass play going to me,” Lee recalled. “The ball was short, so I jumped off and twisted and my tibia snapped. I felt it snap and heard it. It

hurt. The trainer didn’t tell me that it had snapped, but I knew.” The break forced him to the sidelines, where he had to watch the Trojans struggle to put together a 4-6 record and miss out on the postseason for the first time in a decade. “Sitting on the bench was hard,” Lee said. “It wasn’t the biggest role, but I had to be there for the team. Up or down, I had to be there, let them know I’m there, just like everybody else on that sideline.” The effects on the team were just as severe. “We kind of anticipated him being a big play player for us last year, but we didn’t have him,” said Auburn head coach Gordon Elliott. “And we lost a lot

of games last year by one score, so he probably could have made a big difference for us last year, if he was healthy.” Now, Lee is back – in a big way. In the Trojans’ last two games, Lee has helped drive lopsided victories against Kentridge and Tahoma. In the teams’ 42-7 win against Tahoma this past Friday at Maxwell Stadium, Lee erupted for 333 yards of offense and five touchdowns, including two interception returns, a kick return, a rushing TD and a pass reception for a score. “That’s a big game,” Elliott said. “Even my best teams that I’ve had out here, it’s been a real battle going out there. To have

that kind of margin, we’ve never done that out there. And they’re a good team, a playoff-caliber team. We just did some things they weren’t able to adjust to.” “As a team we were focused on getting a W on the road,” Lee said. “Their quarterback decided to throw the ball, and it just kept landing in my hands. It’s a very big win. They made the playoffs last year. It’s another step for us to make the playoffs and go forward.” At this time last season, the Trojans were in the midst of a five-game losing streak. The big difference this year, Lee said, is discipline and commitment.

Trevor Love will look to return to the state 4A meet. Rachel Ciampi, Auburn Reporter

The youth movement is on for the Auburn Riverside boys cross country team. This season the Raven boys head into the season with just three seniors on the roster. As usual, however, the roster is deep with talented runners. This year’s crew is led by senior Trevor Love, who was 53rd at last year’s Washington State 4A championship meet, posting a personal record time of 16 minutes, 23.5 seconds. This year, he’s already bested that time by more than a second, running a 16:22.00 on Sept. 22 at the Bellevue High School Invitational.

Auburn Riverside also looks to juniors Trevor Gesell, Patrick McFarland, Andrew Cooper and Isaiah Tiangson, as well as sophomore Nick Rogerson to contribute. For the Auburn Riverside girls, junior Rachel Covey is making her presence felt with the 18th best 4A time in the state. Covey posted a 19:25.65 at the Bellevue Invitational, smashing her previous personal best of 19:45.8. Last season Covey ran in the Westside Classic District Meet, but did not move on to the state meet. Also back for the Ravens is senior Lauren Saunders, whose best time this season is a 20:38.4 set at the [ more runners page 28 ]

Class Included named Emerald Downs Horse of the Meeting Reporter Staff

Michael and Amy Feuerborn’s Class Included became only the second filly or mare to be honored as Horse of the Meeting as Emerald Downs announced its season honors Sunday on closing day of the track’s 17th season. Trained by Jim Penney, the ultraconsistent 4-year-old filly rattled off three stakes victories, compiled a 4-1-0 record in five starts overall, and finished first in earnings with $112,575. A Feuerborn homebred by Include out of A Classic Life, Class Included has five stakes wins in two seasons at Emerald Downs and her career mark is 9-6-0 in 15 starts with earnings of $323,224. She now has won three titles at Emerald Downs: 2012 Horse of the Meeting, 2012 Top Older Filly or Mare and 2011 Top 3-Year-Old Filly. Horse of the Meeting was hotly contested as Makors Finale and Winning Machine also received multiple votes. Neither went home emptyhanded as Makors Finale, the meet’s only four-time stakes winner, received honors as Top 3-year-Old Male and Top Washington-Bred, and Winning Machine, who missed by a head to Taylor Said in the Grade 3 Longacres Mile, was voted Top Older Horse and Top Sprinter. Tom Wenzel, trainer of Makors Finale, and Frank Lucarelli, conditioner of Winning Machine, enjoyed sensational meetings. In addition to Makors Finale, Wenzel trained Top Juvenile Filly Goin to the Window and multiple stakes-winning 3-year-old filly Exclusive Diva, and Wenzel’s eight stakes wins tied for third highest total in track history. Lucarelli claimed his second straight Emerald Downs training title and fifth overall by a 43-40 margin over 10-time champion Tim McCanna. During the meet, 55-year-old Lucarelli joined Tim McCanna as the only trainers to win 700 races here and just missed winning his first Mile, as 6-year-old Winning Machine battled head-and-head with Taylor Said in the 77th running of the Northwest’s biggest race. Winning Machine’s owners – Dr. Raymond Kwik and Paul Goldberg – also own Top 3-Year-Old Filly Cham-

Both Winning Machine and Champagneandcaviar are Kentucky-breds out of the same dam, Dance With Carson. The steady Juan Gutierrez captured his first Emerald Downs riding title by a 117-97 margin over defending champion Leslie Mawing, and the 43-year-old Gutierrez posted a track record 26.5 win percentage and was honored with Top Riding Achievement. The 2012 meet marked the 11th straight year that Gutierrez finished in the top five in the standings, and he also moved into second place all-time with 995 wins at Emerald Downs. Don Munger was tabbed for Top Training Achievement after saddling career-high 20 winners at age 88. Munger and wife Wanda also were the meet’s leading owners with 20 wins. Other awards went to 23-year-old Eliska Kubinova for a record 75 wins by an apprentice rider, and jockey Javier Matias and trainer Dan Markle were recognized with the Lindy Award and Durkan Award for achievement and sportsmanship.

“We’re more focused on discipline and our assignments and alignments in the game,” Lee said. “Coach will remind us (that we didn’t make the playoffs last year). When we have our senior meetings he’ll let us know that last year we weren’t a playoff team. This year, we’re more focused though, so getting to the playoffs is going to be our biggest goal going throughout the year.” Elliott said Lee’s off-season work has been instrumental to the team’s success this year. “He’s been around four years and he’s working hard,” Elliott said. “He worked hard this summer, balancing his

The Auburn Riverside girls also look to seniors Cheri Broch, Grace Werran and Lisa Ngo and sophomore Claire Kerbs. Next up for the Ravens is a tri-meet at Kentlake with Kent-Meridian on Oct. 3.

ALSO : The Auburn boys team will again be keyed by senior Tyler Flannery, who looks to punch his ticket to state for the first time this season. Flannery’s best time so far this year is a 16:58 posted against Auburn, Kentlake and Tahoma earlier this season. Flannery is joined by senior Brennan Wallin, sophomore Tyler Perrin, juniors Nick Vale and Adam Stafford, and freshman Cameron Link... For the past two seasons, Auburn senior Anna deCarteret has made the cut for the state 4A girls championships. Although she has yet to get near the 19:15.4 personal best she ran as a sophomore at the state meet, she looks to make it three straight state appearances this season. So far this year her best time is the 20:41.5 she ran on Sept. 12. Also on the roster for the Trojan girls are senior Anna Starr, juniors Kimberly Anderson, Madeleine Jones and Ececia Tobin and sophomore Denielle Wallin. The Trojans’ next meet is Oct. 3 against Kentridge and Kentwood .. This year looks to be a rebuild year for the Auburn Mountainview boys cross country team. Last year football and his basketball. He’s always been a basketballfirst guy, football was just something he would do. But he did a pretty good job this summer of balancing that and getting all his football commitments taken care of. So that shows leadership in itself, doing the things you’re supposed to do and getting yourself ready for the season.” Lee admits that this year’s decision to turn out for his final year on the Auburn football squad was difficult, especially realizing that a football injury could also impact his basketball career. Still, he said, he felt he had to exploit his ability on the gridiron. “Family and friends criticize me for playing

the team made its third appearance at the Washington State 3A championship meet. Four of the team’s top-five runners from last season are gone, including Dylan Summerlin and Ethan Rumbaugh, who graduated, and senior Chris Scharer who chose to concentrate on his studies this season. New coaches Tim Tubbs and Brandon Beck look to senior Aarun Rumbaugh to help pick up the slack this season... As always, turnout is a struggle for the Auburn Mountainview girls. This year’s roster boasts just five girls, Allison Hammer, Rachelle Kline, Avdeep Mangat, Caitlyn Hogencamp and Alyssa Rumbaugh.

both sports,” Lee said. “I’ve got some that say, ‘you’re a basketball player, you should do that,’ and then I’ve got the football family that think I should just play that because I’m good at it. I made my decision and I know I’m a good athlete.” And regardless of where the Trojans finish up this season, Lee just hopes he continue his athletic career at the next level. “I’m just hoping to go to a Division I college,” Lee said. “I’m a basketball player, but I’ll go wherever I get a scholarship, whichever sport. Hopefully both. But I’m just going to keep trying, doing what I can and keep working hard.”

[ WAGNER from page 23 ] between the long, hard regiment of training. The 5-foot-3, Germanborn Wagner trains an average of 20-25 hours a week, just on ice. She also puts in long hours in the gym, doing cardio, running, hot yoga and swimming to enhance flexibility, endurance and strength. All that preparation enables Wagner to produce a technically sound, compact eight-minute routine on ice. She has emerged over the past few seasons, adding a triple flip-triple toe to her short program, something she calls “a necessity.” Wagner performed well in her short and free skate programs at the pressurepacked 2012 World Championships, where she finished fourth overall. She is the current Four Continents champion and a two-time (2008 and 2010) U.S. bronze medalist. She has won five medals in the Grand Prix Series. “The public might not know how just hard of a sport it is,” said Wagner, of Alexandria, Va., who trains under coaches John Nicks and Phillip Mills in Southern California. “My job is to make it look perfect and easy. But at the same time, they don’t really know that we’re on the ice four hours, maybe even more, a day. … So much work goes into it.” Wagner began to skate at age 5 in Alaska. She grew up in a military family, moving nine times in her younger years. The frequent travel and changes matured her beyond her years. “It has made me very adaptable,” she said. After Kent, there is more travel associated with a full schedule in front of Wagner as she prepares for the 2013 Worlds at London, Ontario,

Canada in March and the chance to qualify for the Olympics. “I just don’t want to go to the Olympics, I want to go and be competitive,” said Wagner, who is ranked 12th in the world. After her skating career, Wagner plans to pursue a career in sports broadcasting and remain in figure skating as an ambassador. She supports Classroom Champions, the Wounded Warriors Fund and Skate for Hope. Wagner enjoys the opportunity to visit Kent and perform for the audience. “It’s great to be coming out to the Northwest. The fans are awesome,” Wagner said. “Everyone is going to be able to fill it up pretty easily and make it nice and noisy. It will make for a wonderful event. “The audience can expect great competition. We have some really top-notch skaters coming in,” she said. “It’s going to be an awesome event.”
