High school bond close to passing

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

In the combined early election results of King and Pierce counties Tuesday evening, Proposition 1, the $110 million

Auburn High School Modernization and Reconstruction Bond, was garnering 59.78 percent of the vote.

That result comes within a whisker of topping the high bar known as the 60-percent supermajority, which the state of

Pacific hopes for the best, prepares for the worst

Washington requires for the passage of bonds. With post-election trends historically adding a percentage point or two to election night numbers and 7,000 more [ more BOND page 4 ]

With a Dec. 31 deadline for cancellation of Pacific’s insurance rapidly approaching, City officials are scrambling to find ways to stave off the City’s possible disincorporation.

If the City cannot comply with the requests of its insurance carrier – which demanded in a July letter that critical vacant City Hall positions be filled – then it will be forced to operate without insurance beginning Jan. 1. [ more PACIFIC page 9 ]

That awful building left standing ugly? Hey, it wasn’t us, City says

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Formally, it’s known as the empty building at 30 West Main.

On the street, however, the old Liquidation Outlet just south of Auburn City Hall has garnered its share of citizen gripes.

Not only has the building

itself seen better days, detractors say, but the 2010 razing of the adjacent Charlie Wong building left the east wall of the store stuck all over with gross bits of the long-shuttered, burned-out bar.

Rubbed raw by the homely sight just beyond its windows, City Hall recently stuck a sign in the empty lot next to the

building, letting people know who owns the structure – the Bank of Washington in Lynnwood – who is responsible for the way it looks – and whom to call about it – Bruce Addison, bank senior vice president and special credits manager.

The City has posted a sign explaining who is responsible for the condition and fate of the tattered, empty former Liquidation Outlet on West Main.

ROBERT WHALE, Auburn Reporter

have they ever stopped! We wanted recognition that it wasn’t our idea,” Mayor Pete Lewis explained of the sign.

“We put the sign up and have been getting inquiries from people who thought the City owned it. This is just about getting the public the correct information about who owned the asset.”

Addison says to date he hasn’t received any signgenerated phone calls about the building.

“The building has value, I wouldn’t say a lot, but we’ve had some interest from the sale and leasing standing point,” Addison said. “We’re trying to find the right purchaser or tenant for the building.”

Addison said one of the redevelopment proposals suggested putting doors and windows on the west side of the building, where there is a parking lot, and making that its front.

Lewis said the latest information about the building is that there are three different groups considering purchase and sales agreements with the owner.

Rubbing some pointy

grains of a salt in the City’s wound is this – that the bank was offered a break on demolition costs by having it done jointly with the razing of the old Marvel Grocery building and Charlie Wong building.

Thanks, but no thanks, said the bank.

Addison said that the City had considered the repainting of that ugly east side as a potential Clean Sweep project. Although the bank gave its permission, he said, it never happened.

Last year the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce sent a letter to the bank, pleading with the bankers to be good neighbors and to do something about the eyesore.

In the letter, co-signed

by Michele Oosterink, then chamber board chair, and Nancy Wyatt, Chamber president and COO, the organization described how its mission of “building a strong economy” and “promoting the community,” isn’t exactly helped by “the state of disrepair and unsightliness” on display at 30 West Main.

To paraphrase the letter, the building fails to accessorize with the street improvements, infrastructure upgrades, sidewalk improvements and other fix-ups now under way to entice wouldbe developers to the downtown, key to long-cherished plans for renovation.

“The only blight on our excitement,” the letter said, “is when showing off these great improvements, we have your unsightly building situated right in the middle of it all. We do not know what your long-term intentions are for this property.

However, we are requesting that you be a good neighbor and do your part for the redevelopment and improvements of our downtown by addressing the unsightliness of your building, whether by demolition or by refurbishing the exterior.”

“People just wonder why this building was kept up when the rest of the city is trying to redevelop,” Lewis said. “We can’t take their building down. We don’t have the authority. In fact, we don’t want the authority – or the building.”

political reporter before quitting NPR and returning to Alaska to become a freelancer,” Carnino said.

One day Garrison Keillor of Prairie Home Companion fame typed his monologue at Carnino’s desk.

“He had to have a typewriter to write about what was going on in Lake Woebegone. So he sat at my desk and wrote his monologue.

He wrote it in about a halfhour. And when he taped the show, he didn’t use one note, he did it all in his head. And no, I didn’t ask for a photo, I was too embarrassed.”

Realizing there was no upward mobility in her reporting career in Alaska, Carnino accepted a job as a media liaison and speechwriter for a state senator in Ketchikan. When the state

senator moved on to Washington D.C. to work for Sen. Don Young, Carnino accepted a job as a marketing director and sound designer for Perseverance Theater in Juneau.

Eventually, she decided to return to her roots.

Working for a city like Auburn, she says, suits her to a tee.

“You’re a lot more accountable than when you work for a county or a state.

I like looking out the window and seeing the work that the City does right out there. You do what you have to do, but what you do really affects your neighbors and friends right there, and they’ll look you right in the face and tell you what they think about it. And I really like that,” Carnino said.

“It was a little, tiny radio station. Once the governor of Alaska came to speak.

He used our station, and the engineer told me, ‘Hey, Glenda, come in here for a moment. I need you. The governor is going to be broadcasting throughout the state, and we have to patch it in, and I don’t have enough hands.’ And he had me hold together some wires all the time the governor was speaking.”

Next move was to Juneau, and a job as news director for another public radio station.

GIVE SHINGLES A SHOT

696827

If you had chicken pox as a child, you should know that the same virus that gave you chicken pox also causes “shingles” (varicella zoster virus). While the virus remains dormant in the body after having had chicken pox, it can reactivate and migrate along a nerve path to the skin’s surface, causing severe burning or shooting pain, tingling, and itching that typically concentrates on one side of the body (usually on the chest or back). After one to two days, blisters may form in a band or strip pattern that persists for up to two weeks. Other symptoms include fever, headaches, and a general feeling of sickness. To avert shingles, seniors are advised to get the herpes zoster vaccine.

We hope you found this topic to be both interesting and informative. At PARKSIDE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY, we understand the importance of health care for our seniors. We encourage them to get appropriate medical treatment whenever necessary, and we provide transportation to and from medical appointments upon request.

P.S. The risk of shingles increases with age, particularly among those with weakened immune systems.

The murder trial has been continued again for the Oregon man charged with first-degree murder for the 2010 stabbing death of Seth Frankel, an Auburn resident and a City of Kent employee.

William L. Phillip had been scheduled to go to trial on Monday, Oct. 29. But King County Superior Court Judge Beth Andrus granted a request from Phillip and defense attorney Kristen Murray to continue the date to Jan. 7.

They requested the additional time because an investigator assigned to

the case had to be replaced when he left his current position, according to court documents.

Phillip, 32, of Portland, remains in custody at the county jail at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent with bail set at $1 million. He pleaded not guilty in March 2011 to a first-degree murder charge after being extradited from Portland.

The trial had been scheduled for June 20, but Andrus in May pushed that date to Oct. 29 after she granted requests from attorneys from both sides for more time to prepare the case because of so many pre-trial motions by defense

attorneys for additional discovery requests for materials held by the state, additional witness interviews and scheduling conflicts.

Frankel, 41, a city video-program coordinator, was killed May 21, 2010 in his Auburn home. He was discovered the following day by a neighbor who was checking on his welfare, looked through a window, and saw the body.

Prosecutors allege that Phillip, a former boyfriend of the woman Frankel dated and lived with, drove to Auburn to kill Frankel because he was angry that someone else was dating the woman. Detectives connected Phillip to the murder

That was good enough to draw an unexpected happy sound as Auburn School District Superintendent Kip Herren gathered with bond supporters in the school board’s chambers in the James Fugate Administration Building shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday to monitor the results.

“Fifty-nine point-seveneight?! Whooohooo!” Herren whooped.

Supporters plan to monitor each update of the numbers, as the outstanding ballots roll in to King and Pierce counties election offices over the next two weeks.

“We need a net gain of about 100 votes,” Herren said. “I think we’re going to make it.”

When the district first ran the bond in 2009, it garnered 46-percent of the vote, 14 percentage points

Plans for the new school show a construction footprint extending north from East Main over today’s tennis courts and parking lot toward the Performing Arts Center. Accordingly, all community activities – ball park, pool, gym, the PAC and the stadium – would be clustered on the north side of the campus.

Buses would enter from East Main Street and load or unload entirely on campus, a safety improvement over the traffic that today spills onto 4th Street today, tying up traffic and endangering lives, Herren said.

Plans call for the PAC to get a new lobby, one facing 4th Street. The lobby would provide handicapped access to the top floor, the stage and the upstairs bathrooms.

All of the school’s music programs would be tied to the PAC. The three-story, red brick school would be set 100feet back from East Main.

Ultimately the district would level the old high school, replacing it with a 600-stall parking lot, 300 more parking places than are available today. Without the high school in the way of the PAC, people coming for a performance could spot the building more easily.

Phillip’s murder trial continued again in death of Auburn man

through a blood-stained towel found at Frankel’s house as well as cellphone records that put Phillip near the home the night of Frankel’s death.

Frankel’s girlfriend tipped off detectives that Phillip could be the one who killed Frankel. She said Phillip wanted a romantic relationship with her and spoke badly about Frankel even though he had never met him, according to charging papers. Phillip had seen a photo of Frankel that the girlfriend had.

Auburn police – with the help of the U.S. Marshals Service – arrested Phillip in December 2010 in Portland in connection with Frankel’s death.

According to court documents, the jury trial could last six weeks.

Phillip has waived his right to a speedy trial.

If needed, either side could again ask the court for more time to prepare the case and request a new trial date.

My son, a staff sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps, sports a license frame on his car that reads, “Enjoying your freedom? You’re Welcome.”

Even though it is a little strong, he is right.

As a country we forgot it altogether during and after Vietnam. When I came back, we were instructed not to wear our uniforms for fear that we would come back to the country we fought for and lose our lives. I wore my uniform and dared trouble.

Then Desert Storm taught us that our parents and grandparents were wrong, and we could appreciate veterans. Then came Iraq and we forgot wrong and acquired a genuine love for our men and women in uniform.

Now we see the once bareheaded vets of Vietnam with their gray heads proudly covered by ball caps, donning unit insignias from our nation’s military of yesterday, standing around the shopping malls, exchanging war stories until we hear, “Come on, honey, I’ve got to start dinner.”

Our young people, our sons and daughters, have volunteered to serve their country in record numbers until everywhere we turn, we see young people who are clean cut in mind and appearance with determination in their step and positive attitudes on their agendas for the future.

These are today’s veterans, the people who have returned from fighting and support in Iraq and Afghanistan. These are the people who have put their lives aside for years of sacrifice, so that when we visit the malls it won’t have to occur to us that other people in other countries find explosives hidden in their shopping carts.

City derails peaceful march The City of Auburn has refused to let the Veterans For Peace organization march in the Auburn Veterans Day parade on Saturday.

As a United States Marine Corps combat veteran (wounded in action during the Vietnam War) and a longtime veterans advocate, it’s my opinion the City of Auburn’s mayor and City Council (are mistaken) for allowing this exclusion of a legitimate veterans organization to happen.

Every American combat veteran that I know strongly believes in freedom of speech and says that is why he or she put their life on the line for this great nation.

And everyone of these true American heroes also desires and prays for peace.

Why have we allowed Comcast to do this to us?

www.auburn-reporter.com [ PONDELICK from page 1 ] life-and-death situations almost daily as a member of a strategic U.S. Army bomb squad – the 731st EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) Company – in three separate, long tours of duty in Iraq.

Was it constant fear?

“You get over it really quickly. You get used to it. You kind of become indifferent,” said Pondelick, who spent 8½ years in the Army, three of them overseas handling explosives, before leaving the service last year with the rank of sergeant. “It’s one of those things where if it (a mortar or bomb) hits you, there’s nothing you can do. If it misses you, you’re lucky.”

A typical mission for Pondelick’s team? Identifying and defusing deadly improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from city streets, airstrips and from the countryside.

At the height of Pondelick’s work, mostly in and around Baghdad on his second tour of duty, his three-member team was responding to some 15 incidents daily, defusing, assessing or investigating bombs and the devastation coiled up inside of them. Weapons might come in any form: chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or conventional.

It was a never-ending chess match, finding bombs set there by a cunning enemy.

“I tried to think outside the box,” Pondelick said. “My job was 100-percent dedicated to thinking outside the box, because if you went the same way every single time, you would die.

“For example, if you had an IED in the same place, every day, same time, days on end, and if you did the exact same thing (to approach them), you (would) die,” Pondelick said. “You had to do things differently. You had to come up with all these different ways of doing things, or even better.”

On his first deployment, 21-yearold Pondelick had a close call. A mortar landed about 100 feet away while he was standing guard on a Taji airfield, north of Baghdad.

To protect itself against frequent shelling from insurgents, the company reinforced its trailer/living quarters with high sandbag walls.

The Auburn Valley Humane Society and the Kiwanis Club of the Valley present Dogs vs. Cats, a trivia challenge fundraiser, on Nov. 16.

The event runs 5:45 to 8 p.m. in the Rainier Room, on the second floor of the Truitt Building, above Oddfellas, 102 W Main St., Auburn.

Teams of 6-8 people will compete in answering trivia questions in diverse categories. Cost is $40 per person and includes dinner and dessert. Cash bar also will be available.

Contestants are encouraged to sport their favorite school colors. For bonus points throughout the challenge, there will be college fight song trivia.

Auburn continues tradition with Veterans Day events For the Reporter

The Army’s Scot Pondelick spent three tours of duty in Iraq, identifying, assessing and defusing bombs, including improvised explosive devices. COURTESY PHOTO Yes, Pondelick says, he was extremely fortunate. In three deployments, he and his team escaped serious injuries. But many of his friends lost arms, legs - even their lives.

“I look at it like I was very lucky.

That’s one of the reasons why I got out,” he said. “I considered myself extremely lucky for three tours.”

Pondelick won’t soon forget those images and stories. War takes its pound of body and soul. The long tours, one that lasted 15 months, tested and finally ended his marriage.

He has trouble sleeping. His body “creaks like an old man.”

While he is proud of the work he and his soldiers did in Iraq, he is skeptical about Iraq’s future. The country is still divided, he observed, ripped by civil war in a volatile, violent region.

“Theoretically, we went over there for good purposes,” Pondelick said. “We were going to go over there to liberate the country, take out Saddam (Hussein). When we first got over there and everything happened, everybody loved us. The longer we stayed, the more people didn’t like us.

A lot of them still realize the fact that we went in there to help them out and help them rebuild the country. But it surely

What is a veteran? And why should we remember them one day a year?

They are those who have received training above and far beyond what mom and dad could have given.

They learn how to respect and love our country. They learn how to fight for our right and privilege to be free. They are taught how to be selfless and offer their very personal existence to the preservation of our nation and, more personally, their very life in exchange for your life and my life.

They have given so much

seemed like everything we were doing just kind of fell apart underneath us.”

After serving, Pondelick decided to come home, reconnect with family and friends and take up his college studies where he left off. He is a quarter away from completing his associate degree at Green River Community College, and he plans to transfer and continue his path in general studies at the University of Washington Tacoma.

Pondelick, a jack-of-all-trades, wants to continue serving. A frequent spectator at City Council meetings, Pondelick plans to run for mayor next year. Energetic and diligent, Pondelick says he will bring something new and refreshing to City Hall. He is 28.

“I’m able to connect things,” he said.

“I like to be involved with what’s going on. I like to have at least some sort of say as to what’s going on.”

He also wants to serve and support fellow veterans. A member of VFW Post 1741, Pondelick is working to help raise revenue for veteran programs. Many veterans, he says, receive inadequate care. Many don’t know where to look for help.

“I owe it to them,” he said. “We need to help our veterans.”

of themselves – even their lives – at such a young age, so I can reach 68 and live in the freedom that I experience.

One day is not enough to remember these veterans, but one day is what should be a launching pad for all year, to be thankful for our veterans. They didn’t spend just one day serving for our freedom, but we do have one day on Nov. 11 to be really, really thankful to “our veterans,” then really conscious of their many days gift all year long.

Happy Veterans Day, vets. It’s your day for us to remember you. We are so glad that we have you.

Veterans For Peace sues to march in parade Staff, news reports

A veterans group that has marched in Auburn’s Veterans Day Parade for the past six years is suing to march in this year’s parade, the ACLU of Washington announced Monday.

Veterans For Peace’s suit claims that Auburn officials are violating the group’s free speech rights by unfairly denying its application to march in Saturday’s parade.

The ACLU of Washington is representing the veterans group in the lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Seattle.

Veterans For Peace The “See Ya Later” Foundation has organized a fundraising dinner on Nov. 13 to support Renton Police Officer Marty Leverton who is fighting throat cancer.

The dinner is 5-9 p.m. at Rio Blanco Family Mexican Restaurant, 3830 A St. SE Auburn.

A portion of the proceeds from the evening benefit the Levertons. The See Ya Later Foundation is a nonprofit, faith-based and nondenominational organization designed to help families fraught by a medical crisis. To learn more, visit www.seeyalater.org.

(VFP), a national organization, said in a release that it honors the country’s veterans and active military personnel and seeks to promote peace and decrease U.S. military involvement in foreign conflicts.

In its work, VFP said in the release, it honors soldiers by “using and guarding constitutional freedoms that military personnel swore to defend in their oaths of enlistment and office.”

The Greater Seattle Chapter of Veterans For Peace has participated in the parade since 2006. Yet the city

denied the veterans group’s application to march in the 2012 parade, claiming that the City chose only those applicants that most closely meet the purpose and goals of the parade.

The suit alleges that the City of Auburn’s rules governing which groups are allowed to march in the government-sponsored parade are unconstitutional, and that they allow decisions about applications to be made on the subjective beliefs of administrators as to who meets the goals and purposes of the parade. Further, the suit asserts that the

City is discriminating against Veterans For Peace because of the group’s viewpoint.

Auburn City Attorney Dan Heid said the City weighed two factors in its decision.

“For one thing, you cannot have a three-hour parade, so you have to make some calls, you have to make some decisions in terms of who can march,” Heid said. “You can’t possibly have everybody march. Two, the Veterans for Peace has a stand that is inconsistent with the mission of the parade.” more story online… auburn-reporter.com

to the Washington, D.C. area. The only cost to the participant is the time to take the class (typically one week) and the cost of the food ticket (usually around $100).

I encourage you to look at this and other programs that are available and encourage your elected leaders to take advantage of these programs. The skills they gain might just make the difference during the next disaster. The life they save might be someone you care about.

[ ORION from page 1 ] “Auburn is a key location for Orion for several reasons,” said John Theisen, Orion president and CEO. “It puts us in closer proximity to our largest manufacturing customer, Boeing Auburn, and positions us closer to a growing cluster of Aerospace suppliers.”

Theisen also points to increased accessibility to public transportation for staff and training Lewis program participants.

Orion’s manufacturing division, with a diverse customer base in the aerospace, automotive, medical and marine industries, forecasts continued yearafter-year growth due, in part, to Boeing’s forecasts and seven-year global backlog of airplane orders.

Boeing has been a valued customer and partner to Orion since 1957, and Orion was recently named a “Boeing Supplier of the Year,” selected out of 17,000 Boeing suppliers in 52 countries.

“We are extremely proud that Orion Industries chose to expand its facilities and services in our city,” said Mayor Pete Lewis. “It is not only a top supplier of the

Boeing Company, Orion Industries is one of the top workforce development companies in the region putting hundreds of people to work in the community.”

Orion has achieved a 20-percent annual growth for nine years and has outgrown its current facility, located in Federal Way, where it employs 225 people in three separate facilities. Last year Orion served more than 350 people through its training and employment division, placing more than 100 of them into community jobs.

The property, located near the Auburn Municipal Airport, was once an unused portion of the King County Park and Ride parking lot. Auburn purchased the property from King County to increase surface water drainage capacity and acquiring an avigation easement for future enhancement of its municipal airport. The land acquisition agreement with Orion Industries includes an avigation easement and a surface water storage and drainage easement to the city.

Orion expects to open its Auburn facility in November 2013.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ PACIFIC from page 1 ] “The truth is, none of us knows for sure (what will happen),” said City Councilmember Joshua Putnam.

“The City will still exist if it doesn’t have insurance and it will still have employees, tax revenues, bills to pay, programs to run, etc. But without insurance, employees and officials could be personally liable for City actions.

“Today, if the police department has an accident, or public works accidentally damages someone’s property, the City’s insurance takes care of things,” Putnam said. “If we don’t have insurance, the workers could find themselves sued for the damages. I don’t really know how many employees would show up for work under those circumstances, or how many councilmembers would continue to serve with that potential liability.”

Ultimately, city officials hope to conform to the insurance carrier’s demands and continue to operate with insurance or find an alternate carrier.

“We’re not throwing in the towel on insurance yet,” Putnam said. “There’s some chance that filling the rest of the critical City Hall vacancies and maintaining a professional environment for City employees could get our current coverage extended. And just because we haven’t yet found coverage elsewhere doesn’t mean

it might not be possible to get enough liability coverage to limp along until the situation is more stable.”

Despite the recent hiring for several key vacancies – including city clerk, finance director and community services director – the issue of disincorporation is still on the table. Mayor Cy Sun has fired many key personnel since taking office in January.

“The Council has formed a committee to explore these issues and look into how we might provide for continuation of essential services like the water utility if the City could no longer function,” Putnam said. “But the answers aren’t clear, one of the first things we hear everywhere we go is that nobody has seen a situation like this before - we’re in uncharted territory.”

Additionally, the council recently passed a resolution to seek aid from any government agencies – including federal, state and local – that may be able to chip in.

“I don’t know what will come of that, but I have to think the broader we cast our net, the more likely we are to find someone who has a workable solution,” Putnam said.

In the event that disincorporation becomes the only option, the City Council would have a Dec. 28 deadline to decide whether to put the matter before residents in a special

election, likely on Feb. 12, 2012.

“It’s incredibly frustrating and depressing (as a resident),” Putnam said.

“What’s been going on this year doesn’t represent the Pacific I’ve known, and I’m sure the vast majority of residents don’t want the City to fail.”

The Pacific City Council is expected to draft a disincorporation resolution and present it at the Nov. 12 regularly scheduled meeting at City Hall.

Also The City Council voted unanimously during a special meeting on Monday to disapprove the appointment of Ken Barnett as the city’s new public works director.

All councilmembers, except Clint Steiger, were present at the meeting. … The Committee to Recall Cy Sun is facing the prospect of having to raise another $20,000 to continue their fight to put a recall of the controversial mayor of Pacific before voters next year.

The committee needs the money to pay the retainer for its attorneys, who will have to appear before the Washington State Supreme Court in order to get the okay to collect signatures to put the recall on a ballot.

Sun has appealed the King County Supreme Court’s decision that there was sufficient reason to put a recall in the hands of voters.

County seeks public input on plan to replace Algona Transfer Station King County wants to hear from the public about the scope of its environmental review of two potential locations for building a new south county recycling and transfer station to replace the aging Algona Transfer Station.

Under State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) guidelines, King County has an obligation to develop an environmental impact statement (EIS) for multiple siting options.

After a broad search for possible facility sites throughout South King County that included

input from an advisory committee and the public, two potential sites remain under consideration: • 901 C St. SW, Auburn • 35101 W. Valley Highway S., Algona The EIS will evaluate possible impacts to the environment of building a new recycling and transfer station on each of the potential sites, or taking no action and retaining the existing transfer station.

A public open house is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 15 from 4:30-7:30 p.m. in the Lindbloom Student Center at Green River Community College, 31920 124th Ave. SE, Auburn.

At the meeting, interested citizens can learn about the project and tell King County what environmen-

tal topics they would like the County to examine in its formal review.

The SEPA public comment period runs through Nov. 30. Public comments can be submitted in several ways: • At the Nov. 15 meeting • Via the project website, your.kingcounty. gov/solidwaste/facilities/ algona/index.asp • By sending mail to: King County Solid Waste Division, 201 S. Jackson Street, Suite 701, Seattle, WA 98104-3855, Attn.: Eric Richardt.

In an unprecedented showing of region-wide collaboration, seven school districts completed a joint grant application for up to $40 million in federal Race to the Top funds and submitted it this week to the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, D.C. The superintendents, education associations and school boards collaborated on and approved the grant proposal. The Puget Sound Educational Service District will serve as the lead agency responsible for overall

project management and function as the fiscal agent should the grant be awarded. Grant winners will be announced in December.

“Schools are at the heart of our community and it’s my priority to help all our students achieve success,” said Mayor Pete Lewis.

“Families in South King County often move from district to district and this approach is charting a new path for student achievement by bringing people together to create a plan that reaches across district and city borders.”

The districts submitted the application under the name “The Road Map

District Consortium,” in reference to their participation in the Road Map Project, a community-wide effort to drive educational improvement in South Seattle and South King County. The consortium serves King County’s most disadvantaged students, including 70 percent of the county’s low-income children.

“The broad support behind the Road Map District Consortium’s grant application shows that many cities and school districts can work together toward building stronger schools and communities,” Lewis said.

Auburn holds off Olympia for state berth Ravens return to state 4A tourney REPORTER STAFF

The Auburn Trojans held off Olympia’s late surge last Saturday to earn a 41-38 district playoff win at Auburn Memorial Stadium.

The Trojans advanced to a first-round state 4A playoff game against Eastmont (8-2) at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Wenatchee The Bears (4-6 overall) scored the final two touchdowns in the game but failed to recover an onside kick in the final minutes of the game.

The Trojans (8-2) were buoyed by the return of junior quarterback Brier Atkinson and senior halfback Harold Lee. Both recovered from injuries sustained against Federal Way on Oct. 19.

Lee finished the game with 88 yards of total offense, with Atkinson running for 110 yards and a touchdown for the Trojans.

Senior Darnell Hagans added 100 yards rushing with two touchdowns.

Lions bounced in 3A crossover No. 2 Mount Si Wildcats ended Auburn Mountainview’s season last Friday, dealing the Lions a 52-7 loss in a first-round 3A crossover district play-

Auburn Mountainview finished 3-7.

The Lions’ lone score

Brenna Bruil remembers the 2009 volleyball season well.

As a freshman on the Auburn Riverside squad, Bruil remembers watching as the Ravens fought their way to a thirdplace finish in the state 4A tournament.

“I remember watching all the girls and how amazing it was to see them accomplish their goals,” said Bruil, now a senior captain for the Ravens. “This year, myself and the other seniors just wanted to make it to state and work as hard as we could.

And we did. We didn’t stop fighting. It made me realize how special state is. And after watching my freshman year, it’s great to be able to play and experience that.” [ more Ravens page 13 ]

Trojans make first state appearance in 30 years

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn girls soccer coach Adam Ladage has nothing but praise for his team.

“This is a great group of kids.

They worked really hard and

spent a lot of time in the offseason,” he said. “This is one of the most dedicated groups I’ve seen, and it shows on the field in the way they play.”

The praise is well deserved for the Trojans.

This season, after a string of

losing campaigns – including a 2-12-2 record last year and a 3-11-2 finish in 2010 – the Trojans strung together an 8-7-1 regular-season finish, good for a fourth-place finish in the South [ more soccer page 13 ]

www.auburn-reporter.com [ ravens from page 12] Bruil and the rest of the Ravens get a chance to experience state play when they take on top-ranked Mead of Spokane at 5:15 p.m. Friday at St. Martin’s University in Lacey.

Auburn Riverside earned a state berth with an impressive 8-0 finish in the South Puget Sound League North 4A race.

“That’s a big deal,” coach Christine Leverenz said. “I didn’t expect that for sure, but I knew we could do it.

We had a lot of our tough competition with the Kent schools toward the end and our rivalry with Auburn.

I think it helps with our tough preseason games, like Emerald Ridge, Graham-

Kapowsin, Puyallup and Rogers. I think that helped with league because we were used to playing at that high level, and we just kept doing it twice a week. We just got up for the challenge.”

The team responded in the postseason as well, earning a trip to state with a 2-2 performance in West Central District 4A play last weekend.

Leverenz and Bruil credit team unity as the key ingredient in the Ravens’ recipe for success this season.

“It’s chemistry,” Leverenz said. “If I could bottle the chemistry this team has, I would have the key to success every year. Their chemistry is really good. There is no big ego or any kid who

stands out. We knew which kids are our big hitters and who will get us a kill, but I don’t think there is one kid who holds themselves above the others.”

Bruil added: “When we play together, nothing can stop us, and I think we realized that midway through the season. We have a lot of heart. We just click. There is no drama. Nobody is trying to be better than the other.”

The Ravens will attempt to kick things off with a win against Mead, which has won seven state 4A volleyball titles.

“I’m really trying not to get them too nervous about it,” Leverenz said. “Most of these kids play club volleyball, so I’m just comparing it to a high stakes club

tournament, like a national qualifier. You just have to go in and play your game and play for each other. That really means something to these kids.”

“We’re just going to go in and just play our best,” Bruil added. “Just the chance to play at state – you can’t ask for anything else. We just want to end the season knowing we fought hard.”

Freshman Carson Heilborn, No. 4, and senior Brenna Bruil, No. 1, block a shot by a Union player last weekend in the West Central District 4A tournament at Kentwood High School. The Ravens went 2-2 in the tourney and qualified for the state.

Nahaku also snagged six receptions for 33 yards, with Devin Bryant adding four catches for 32 yards.

On the ground, Auburn Mountainview was held to just 29 yards on 13 carries.

Defensively, senior Brandon Bodine had six solo tackles to lead the Lions. Sophomore Jason Sele and seniors Maino Mose and Elliot Pelfrey added five tackles apiece, and senior Nicholas Aumua capped his career with four tackles and two quarterback hurries.

Auburn – which finished the season with a 9-8-1 overall record – not only fought its way out of the SPSL tournament but beat Olympia 1-0 in a district playoff to earn the program’s first trip to state since 1982.

“Our goal at the beginning of the season was just to make it to the playoffs,” Ladage said. “And that was a lofty goal with three consecutive season with just two or three wins. So making the playoffs was a big step. But once we got there, we decided to make some more goals.”

Although the Ravens (1-7 league, 1-9 overall) were held to just 29 rushing yards, the team exploded for 495 passing yards.

Senior quarterback Kevin Thomson was 35of-55 for 466 yards and four touchdowns.

Drew Wallin finished the game with 12 catches

for 244 yards and a TD and Cameron Clark had 11 receptions 76 yards and two touchdowns. Michael Robinson added seven catches for 103 yards.

in 30 years – fell 5-2 to No. 8 Central Valley at Spokane.

Auburn junior Hana Mizoguchi and sophomore Makayla Sonstelie had goals with senior Linda Karout adding an assist for Auburn.

Despite the loss, Ladage called the state appearance a step in the right direction for the program, which will lose five seniors to graduation.

“We’ve got a lot of girls with experience in a state game now,” he said. “We hope to be able to build on this for next season.

(For the seniors) it will be harder to replace them as captains and leaders rather than on the field. They’ve done a good job leading the team. Those seniors are five of the most dedicated people you’ll ever find.”

...obituaries Neely Mansion shines in video premiere More than 200 people attended the premiere screening of “If These Walls Could Talk” at the Neely Mansion on Oct. 27.

The video depicts vignettes in the lives of each of the five families who lived at the historic farmhouse from the 1890s through the 1970s.

The response has been overwhelmingly positive.

“Interpreting history is about understanding the context in which it occurs

– and the Neely Mansion Association’s video does just that,” said Ken Jensen, Black Diamond resident and historian. “The arrival of the railroad and modern conveniences, the stock market crash and the Great Depression, immigration and racial discrimination – it’s all there and provides a window into the world of the families that lived in the mansion.”

Funded by 4Culture, the cultural services agency for King County, and filmed

by Hero Labs, shooting locations included Neely Mansion and Mosby Farms, among other local spots.

It’s All About

SERVICE

Fast. Professional. Friendly.

Providing Complete Plumbing & Heating Services in King County Since 1964 you offer any products that could help my water supply be more efficient, Q “Do or save me money?” :

Q/A | with David Brown – Owner, Fox Plumbing & Heating

Q

“How did Fox Plumbing & Heating get started?” :

A

: Virgil Fox started the company in 1964; even as a young man, I loved “hands on work” and was proud to be a tradesman. I joined the company in 1973 and thrived in the environment of high standards and hard work. By 1979 I was half owner of the company, purchasing it in its entirety in 1983. I was dedicated to the value of quality service at a fair price and understood the importance of keeping every customer, since then I’ve expanded but maintained our deep commitment to integrity and quality work. Our customers tell us time and time again that we are the most trustworthy plumbing service in King County.

plumbing services do you offer?

And do you do both repair and installaQ “What tion?” :

A

: If it has to do with pipes and water, we have the skilled workforce to both fix ailing systems and install new systems. We work in old and new homes as well as in businesses and commercial environments – we are experts in fixing old systems.

We’re not always looking to sell people something new; if it can be fixed we fix it. We offer a full range of plumbing services from sewers to hot water tanks. We help our customers save money by offering plumbing system tune-ups, which are continually growing in popularity because they save people on the cost of repairs by catching problems early. We’re very excited to announce that we have expanded and now service and install all types of heating, furnaces and air conditioning, too. We are committed to our customers and to our staff, provid-

A

ing on-going training to make sure our technicians are simply the best trained in the business.

Q “Do you guarantee your services?”

A :

: Absolutely, we have the best written warranties in the business. We provide our customers with the right price for the service and then guarantee the work. We have received the best service award from Angie’s list for over 6 years and are always top rated. Our customers will tell you about their experience with Fox Plumbing and Heating and we encourage them to do so. 80% of our new business comes from current customer referrals, we’re proud of this record and intend to continue it, every customer is important to us, I’ve built this whole business around satisfied customers, when we say “it’s all about service”, we mean it.

: First having equipment in good working order saves water and money, you wouldn’t believe how costly a dripping faucet or “ever-running toilet” can be, I’ve seen them cost home owners and businesses hundreds even thousands of dollars. In this day and age switching from a gas water tank to tankless system saves space, energy and delivers endless hot water. PSE even provides rebates. Converting from electric to gas can save thousands of dollars over time.

It’s important to know what works for your life-style and budget and what are your energy saving goals. The benefits of a tankless system are; endless hot water, its green – smaller carbon footprint, space savings, and energy savings. It took me a while to be totally sold on the tankless hot water systems, but I am, today the technology is outstanding.

an emergency, what’s the best thing to do? What about afterhours and on Q “In the weekends?” :

A

: Call us 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Pipes, sewers, water heaters, toilets, sinks and furnaces can’t tell time and often chose the worst time to act up and break down. We get this and have experts available to assist you whenever you need it, at your home or business. We have dispatchers and technicians on call 24 hours per day. On our website we have emergency water shut off videos to help people in times of emergency. It’s understandable that most people don’t even think of their plumbing until something goes wrong, we often get our best customers through our response to an emergency, we’re there and we fix the problem. After an emergency many of our customers participate in our $99 annual Plumbing Tune-up program, which saves them hundreds even thousands of dollars in the long run and they are seeing great improvements in their plumbing systems.

James arrived within 3 hours of my call for service.

He quickly determined the problem and did a work around to get me back online. Then the next day at the exact appointment time he replaced the tank. Prompt, Professional, Clean & Neat. Good equipment and a reasonable price. Best service contractor I have used in 30 years.

- Tom Nesbit, Kirkland.
