Anti-war vet group allowed to march in Veteran’s Day Parade

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

A fly over, bands playing, tiny flags snapping in the wind, whoops and hollers from spectators — tokens of appreciation and gratitude from Americans to Americans.

In its 40 years, Auburn’s Veterans Day parade has swelled into a two-and-half hour extravaganza of sight and sound, of tanks, guns, bands, bagpipes, a magnet for veterans groups and spectators throughout the Northwest.

Just to march down Auburn’s Main Street on Saturday, however, the former soldiers and sailors of one veterans organization had to fight again, not in muck, mire and slop but in a courtroom.

The City of Auburn had denied the Veterans For Peace permission to march, selecting only those applicants that most closely met the purpose and goals of the parade. Late Friday a US District court in Seattle issued a temporary restraining order against the City, allowing the veterans to march.

A group of Revolutionary War reenactors marches in the 47th annual Auburn Veteran’s Day Parade this past Saturday on Main Street. The parade honors the men and women who have served their country in the armed forces. This year’s parade featured more than 200 entries, including 30 marching bands, local Junior ROTC units, honor guards, military units, drill teams and antique military vehicles. The event kicked off with a fly-over by a U.S. Air Force C-17. For more pictures see page 14. Rachel Ciampi, Auburn Reporter

Proposition 1, the $110 million Auburn High School Modernization and Reconstruction Bond, has finally, on its third try, topped that high bar known as the supermajority.

As of Tuesday morning, the combined totals of King and Pierce counties stood at 61.9 percent.

If this keeps up, the district will build a new Auburn High School, replacing the present structure, which has stood since 1950.

A large number of ballots remain to be counted, but from the first count shortly after 8 p.m. Nov. 6, the trend has been to add votes. As Superintendent Herren noted, post-election trends historically add a percentage point or two to election night numbers.

“The returns look favorable,” Herren said. “I’ve got a cigar in my hand, but I’m not able to light it.”

Whether or not the City of Pacific’s insurance carrier drops its coverage in the current turmoil and Pacific ceases to exist as a city, the Valley Regional Fire Authority will go on.

Residents of Auburn, Algona and Pacific established the boundaries of the Valley Regional Fire Authority by vote in 2006 to serve their cities, and regardless of a change in government involving any of the three member cities, the boundaries stay as they are.

“It doesn’t make any difference, the boundaries don’t change,” Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis said last week.

If the VRFA member in Pacific no longer exists, the VRFA’s attorney would seek advice from the state on whether or not any other members [ more VRFA page 4 ]

King County Flood Control District provides $41 million for 14 critical regional projects Reporter Staff

Preparing for a predicted wet flood season, the King County Flood Control District Board of Supervisors this week adopted a 2013 budget totaling $41 million.

They also adopted a sixyear capital improvement program (CIP) that will guide the Flood Control District’s flood risk reduction activities into the future.

The budget funds 14 major levee rehabilitation projects across King County, provides over $3.7 million to 40 jurisdictions for local flooding and stormwater projects through the Flood Control District’s Opportunity Fund and improves flood awareness, response programs and facility maintenance.

Specific project examples across King County to be implemented over 2013-18 include: • Reddington levee (Auburn): $12 million to construct a setback levee

that protects nearly 600 developed parcels with an assessed value of more than $680 million.

• Levee improvements (Kent and Renton): $30 million to make improvements to levees protecting dense commercial, industrial, and manufacturing areas in Kent and Renton.

• Elliott Bay Seawall (Seattle): $28 million to help rebuild the failing seawall that protects Downtown Seattle.

• Coal Creek Channel Improvements (Bellevue): $8.5 million to reduce flood risks along Coal Creek.

• South Fork Snoqualmie Levee (Upper Snoqualmie): $8.7 million to reconstruct sections of the levees that protect residential and commercial areas of North Bend.

• Home Elevations (Upper and Lower Snoqualmie): $6.2 million to acquire or elevate at-risk homes in and around the cities of Snoqualmie and North Bend and $2.3 million to reduce risks to home and

agricultural operations in the Lower Snoqualmie.

• Sinnema Quale Revetment (Lower Snoqualmie): Over $3.3 million to reconstruct a failing revetment that protects SR 203 and the Snoqualmie Valley Trail near Carnation.

“Since its creation in 2008, the Flood Control District has been working to reduce flood risks, successfully completing 63 projects throughout King County,” stated Board Chair Julia Patterson.

“Adoption of this budget ensures additional critical levee projects will be implemented, protecting people, property, and the regional economy. These efforts would have taken over 20 years to complete without Flood Control District funding.”

Kathy Lambert, an executive committee member, recognized district actions that have benefited her council district, the most frequently flooded area in the county.

“The District has com-

In addition to flood prevention projects and activities, the budget provides $3.15 million in funding to

A resource for the hungry will now be centered in South King County.

The Emergency Feeding Program of Seattle, King County is now operating their main warehouse out of the former Greenfresh Market building in Renton.

The nonprofit organization provides 2,000 bags of food a month to the hungry countywide.

The program is leasing the space for two years from St. Vincent de Paul, which purchased the building last October to expand its services in the fall of 2014.

The Emergency Feeding Program has been open a couple of weeks and continues to facilitate groups of volunteers to pack their bags of food.

Young people from a City of Mercer Island volunteer program recently donated their time to pack bags and organize.They are just one of the many groups that routinely help the program with their efforts.

The program experienced a 56 percent increase in the number of people requesting food between 2007 and 2010, he said.

“Over the last couple of years, I got to tell you, it has been a struggle to keep up with those requests,” Anderson said.

The Emergency Feeding Program is different from a traditional food bank. The clients that are served through other agencies by the program, typically have other assistance.

These clients could be on food stamps or going to a food bank on a regular basis. The Emergency Feeding Program satisfies an immediate need for food in a crisis situation.

The program also is customized to meet the dietary and cultural needs of the clients.

There are 15 different versions of the bags they distribute. There are small, medium and large bags for different household sizes. There are diabetic, vegan/ lactose-intolerant and all liquid diet bags. There are three different types

of bags for people who don’t have access to a kitchen. There are two kinds of infant bags. And finally, there is a Latino, Asian and East African bag to fit the cultural needs of those new to this country.

“The idea is that it’s really not good enough to just give somebody something to eat,” Anderson said. “You want to be thoughtful about it. You want to give them something that suits their nutritional needs and takes into account their medical conditions and frankly their cultural preferences.”

The program was started in 1977 and based on a study by a University of Washington nutritionist.

The study found that the quality of food at food banks varied based on the affluence of the community where food banks were located. It also recognized the difficulty of a family to get nutritionally balanced food at a food bank in a single trip.

There is no direct client distribution from the warehouse. It is an assembly, storage and distribution site to other agencies that provide food to clients.

Last year in Renton, 1,650 emergency food bags were delivered to partners at Aging and Disability Services, the Renton Department of Social and Health Services, St. Matthew’s Church, Harambee Church and Daystar Baptist Church.

The program provided 513 bags of food to households in Auburn, and 1,408 to those in Kent through distribution partners in those cities.

“The need out there in the community is pretty great, and it doesn’t really go down ever,” said Brian Anderson, operations director. “It’s pretty much a constant need for folks to make sure there’s enough food on the table for their families.”

About one in five households in the state are struggling in this situation, said Anderson about the last estimate he recalls.

Dr. Harold Valentine, a retired Auburn High School teacher, beams as results come in showing positive results for the bond vote to build a new Auburn High School. Robert Whale, Auburn Reporter There’s a lot more votes to be counted.”

“Last year,” said Deputy Superintendent Mike Newman, “we began with 56.89 and ended up with 58.40, a net movement of 2,709 votes, from election night to certification.”

Certification is Nov. 27.

The election night numbers represented some 42 percent

of the ballots King County and elections officials sent out.

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

District officials say the aging high school is no longer cost-effective to operate and maintain. Critically needed repairs include leaking roofs, poor air quality and ventilation some veterans don’t like others who are anti-war and pro peace,” Kinnucan said.

Kinnucan said she heard a lot of applause for her group.

“There were a few people that weren’t happy, but in past years we always had a good reception, and we had another one here.

I think that the City might be a little out of tune with the attitudes of people who live here,” Kinnucan said.

Other veterans had a different take.

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 combined.

“It needs replacing badly,” said Dr. Harold Valentine, who taught English at AHS for many years.

Plans for the new school show a construction footprint extending north from East

“My understanding … was that they are an anti-war protest group, and that’s not what we are looking to do,” Scott Pondelik, an Iraq war veteran said, as the parade flowed past. “It’s more like honoring our veterans and honoring those who served … Yes, it is their right, but the timing of it is a little wrong.”

One veteran grumbled, “They shouldn’t be in it.

Next year it’ll be the Hell’s Angels or some other group.”

“Look, if they didn’t love their country, they wouldn’t have wanted to be in the parade,” a member of Inter Tribal Warriors Society said in passing.

Veterans For Peace (VFP) is a national organization that seeks to honor the nation’s veterans and active military personnel to promote peace and decrease U.S. military involvement in foreign conflicts. In its work, the organization works to honor soldiers by using

and guarding constitutional freedoms that military personnel swore to defend in their oaths of enlistment and office.

“As the judge pointed out in her ruling, freedom of speech is one of the very freedoms that our veterans have fought to defend around the world,” ACLU-WA legal director Sarah Dunne said in a press release.

would be seated at the table.

The upshot is that King County would assume responsibility for collecting taxes in the newly unincorporated area.

“The tax base is still there, it would just change to the county having taxing authority upon the base. The county would collect all the county taxes,” Lewis said.

Calls to King County were not returned for this article.

With a Dec. 31 deadline for cancellation of Pacific’s insurance rapidly approaching, City officials there have been 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 would be forced to operate without insurance beginning Jan. 1. Without insurance, employees and officials could be personally liable for City actions.

Mayor Cy Sun has fired many key personnel since taking office in January. 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.

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

Peace.

The court agreed with the suit’s assertion that the City of Auburn was discriminating against VFP because of the group’s viewpoint. In sponsoring the parade, the City is creating a space for private groups to speak on the topic of veterans on the occasion of Veterans Day. VFP is clearly a veterans group, and the court found that its mission is not inconsistent with the

purpose and goals of the parade.

Further, the court agreed with the lawsuit’s contention that the City of Auburn’s rules governing which groups are allowed to march in the government-sponsored parade are unconstitutionally broad and vague. The rules impermissibly allow decisions about applications to be made on the subjective beliefs of an ad hoc group of officials and residents.

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, 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 100-feet 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.

To the patter of drums and the blare of horns, the oom pa-pa of tubas and the thunderous roar of motorcycles, veterans with comrades at their sides made their way down Auburn’s Main Street Saturday to the approval of onlookers.

Some of the most frail among them, perhaps WWII veterans who could no longer walk Auburn’s Veterans Day Parade route, waved from cars and jeeps.

An image filled the eyes. Then the moment passed, the eye moved on.

It’s easy to forget that in their youths, as Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote of his Civil War generation, the hearts of the frailer service members “were touched with fire.”

Annie McDonald served 22 months as a nurse with the US Army, much of it in the European theater. Her service was one of the defining experiences of her long life.

McDonald, who as of Saturday, had reached 95 years, was content to sit in the passenger seat of a Jeep, a blanket over her legs to protect her from the bite of the November day.

After the Empire of Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, McDonald was one among a group nurses at King County Hospital in Seattle who decided join the US Army and help the nascent war effort.

McDonald, then 24, and her fellow nurses took time getting organized but finally they got their stuff together and made their way to King Street Station in Seattle before heading off for 15 months of toughening at Camp Carson, Colo.

“Training, training, training,” McDonald recalled.

The drill sergeant under the direction of a Col. Buckner — McDonald has forgotten first name— put the greenhorns through the same sort of hardships that troops undergo on the front lines.

“We had to crawl under gun fire, and if you raised your head, too bad for you. You don’t raise your head. We’d crawl on our bellies until we got over to a little ditch, and we had to fall in that ditch length wise. We [ more Whale page 6 ]

A disgrace to deny group’s march I am outraged and ashamed to hear the Veterans for Peace were denied a permit to march in the Auburn Veterans Parade. This is un-American and a disgrace.

Of all people, our veterans, have every right to work for and promote peace. They know first hand what war is, the suffering and tragedy it brings.

We have seen 11 years of costly wars and countless deaths, and the mayor of Auburn thinks that promoting peace and diplomacy is an act against Veterans. I find this unacceptable.

I will consider it my duty to make sure that everyone is aware of this injustice. I will write every newspaper, news station, send emails and talk to every person I know and ask them to do the same.

This unjust behavior will not go unnoticed.

the whole thing weeks before Nov. 6.

The blame for a lot of this falls on the “super PACs,” collections of groups outside a politician’s direct campaign that are allowed to raise unlimited amounts of money. The situation actually is worse since many groups don’t have to register with the Federal Election Commission because they say they are focusing on “educational,” not “political” activities.

We’re calling – well, you know – on

A spokesperson for the City of Auburn told me that the VFP does not fit with the city’s mission to “positively honor veterans and current service members defending freedom around the world.”

I am deeply troubled that the City’s definition of freedom around the world does not extend to Auburn’s Veteran’s Day parade.

I believe one of the most important indicators of whether a country (or city, in this case) truly respects “freedom” and “democracy” for all, can be seen in its response to freedom of speech. Shame on Auburn for suppressing freedom of speech and making the decision not to honor all veterans, but only those veterans who meet with their approval.

that.

This money-grubbing situation isn’t limited to the presidential race.

The cost of political campaigns nationwide is estimated to be $6 million. In our state alone, the race for governor is expected to reach a total cost of $46 million.

Despite this national effort, many voters say they don’t expect things to change much regardless of who is elected president.

We may not get the “best candidate that money can buy,” but we’re certainly going to get one who is ridiculously expensive.

McDonald would go on to spend 26 months in the army, many in blood splattered battle hospitals in the European Theater, typically about a mile behind the front line.

Finally we got to where we could stay in one place for a while, until the front line moved again and we kept moving. We called it leapfrogging over.

Battle, blood fuses in her memory, blurring the names of individual battles.

“When a litter was brought in with a guy on it, we didn’t know if we’d find a leg shot off or what was under that blanket.

Other than that, it was just everyday calamities.”

Amid those scenes of carnage, one scene in particular scorched into her brain: a young man shot in the throat.

“The hardest thing I saw was a young, 21-yearold GI. He had a bullet through his neck, and it severed his spinal cord, and we couldn’t do a thing for him, just couldn’t do anything. That was the hardest thing to take,” McDonald said. “It was just terrible.”

The ones who lost good friends so we can speak freely are now told to shut up by my local government.

There is nothing about honoring veterans who salute war. If there is, our minds are in the wrong place. This decision disgusts me.

Boy Scout Andrew Madrid knows firsthand that a bicycle helmet can save your life.

The Auburn boy continues to recover from injuries he sustained when he was struck by a vehicle while crossing Auburn Way South on his bicycle in August.

Andrew shared his story at the Valley Regional Fire Authority’s third annual Scout Night at VRFA Station 33 on Wednesday.

“We are so relieved that Andrew is healing from his injuries and delighted that he is willing to help the VRFA encourage others to wear safety helmets by sharing his story,” said VRFA Battalion Chief Rudy Peden.

Andrew got a chance to meet Peden and some of the firefighters who responded to his aid at the program, which attracted more than 220 Boy Scouts, as well as scout leaders and parents.

The Valley Professional Firefighters and VRFA Administrator Eric Robertson present-

them in increasing their overall safety knowledge and meet some of their scouting badge requirements.

Scouts discovered ways to make their homes safer, practiced how to change the batteries and test smoke alarms, learned FirstAid for minor injuries, tied knots and became skilled in designing a home fire escape plan.

They also learned about disaster preparedness for individuals and families, and got a chance to see and touch the tools and equipment used by firefighters while learning more about a career in the fire service.

New this year was a bike safety station, where scouts learned basic bike maintenance skills and how to fit their helmets properly.

Custom fit bike helmets, like the one Andrew was wearing, are available.

A $5 donation is appreciated, with all the funds applied to the purchase of additional helmets.

However, I was disheartened with something that unfolded right in front of me.

In the stands, just to my right, was an Air Force Colonel, able and active in his forties. Not once did he ever stand and or salute the colors as they went by, or stopped in front of, the reviewing stands. To my left was a Navy Rear Admiral, obviously retired and in his 70’s, a young Navy Rear Admiral Lower Half and a Marine officer. They were sitting apart from each other.

Each and every time the American Flag passed and or stopped in front of the stands the three of them stood and saluted the colors. After about an hour and a half I could tell the elder Admiral was tired from the effort of rising every few minutes, but he did not stop.

What disrespect the Air Force Colonel exhibited.

Shame on him.

Knowing your cholesterol and blood levels

By Glenn Bean MultiCare Health System

Cholesterol and blood pressure play a major role in the overall health of our heart. High blood pressure and poor cholesterol numbers are considered major risk factors for the development of heart disease and stroke.

It’s important for everyone to know their cholesterol and blood pressure number, and to stay within recommended goal ranges. We encourage everyone to work with their primary-care provider to evaluate and treat their risk factors for heart disease.

Below are a few common questions we hear from patients. Or take an online “Heart Disease Risk Assessment” quiz (www. multicare.org/home/heartdisease-risk) to learn about some of your risk factors, then consult a primary care provider.

How often should I have my cholesterol checked?

Once every five years adults over age 20 should have a fasting lipoprotein profile – which measures total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and HDL (good) cholesterol and triglycerides (another blood fat), according to recommendations from the National Cholesterol Education program.

You may need to have your cholesterol checked more often than every five years if one or more of these situations applies to you: • Your total cholesterol is 200 mg/dl or more.

• You are a man over age 45 or a woman over age 50.

• Your HDL (good) cholesterol is less than 40/ mg/dL. • You have other risk factors for heart disease and stroke, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and early onset of heart disease in your immediate family history.

• Your health care provider is treating you for high cholesterol or other heart disease risk factors.

What are HDL and LDL, and why do they matter?

Cholesterol does not dissolve in the blood. It has to be transported by carriers called lipoproteins. There are two types of these lipoproteins: low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). LDL is known as the “bad” type of cholesterol because of its ability to build up on the inner walls of the arteries of the heart and vascular system. This can cause narrowing in the arteries, leading to clots or blockages, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

Too much LDL cholesterol in the blood can increase this risk. Optimal levels of LDL recommended are 100 mg/dL or less.

HDL is known as the “good” type of cholesterol because high levels of HDL seem to protect against risk of heart attacks. Medical experts believe that HDL helps to carry cholesterol away from the arteries to be broken down in the

liver and removed. The higher the HDL level, the greater the chance that the cholesterol is being removed.

Optimal HDL should be above 50 mg/dL or greater.

If your blood pressure is 130/85 or greater, it should be watched closely and you should consult your health care provider.

How can I improve my cholesterol numbers?

High blood pressure is considered the “quiet” disease because there usually are no symptoms.

Knowing your numbers and seeking treatment when indicated can lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage.

Among the things that everyone can do to help improve blood pressure levels are weight loss, salt reduction, stress reduction, cardiovascular exercise and a healthy diet.

Everyone can work to improve their cholesterol numbers and reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease by eating a low fat diet, exercising regularly, losing excess weight and increasing fiber in their diet. You should consult with your health care provider to evaluate your cardiovascular disease risk and whether you may need medication in addition to diet and exercise.

How often should I check my blood pressure?

Have your blood pressure checked every year.

Optimal blood pressure is 120/80 or less. High blood pressure is considered to be 140/90 or greater.

What are the symptoms of high blood pressure?

What can be done to reduce high blood pressure?

them reach their optimal numbers and reduce their overall risk for heart disease and stroke. Consult a primary care provider if you have concerns.

“My friends were getting married and starting families,” Bickford said. “The ones with higher education found it easier to get jobs that could comfortably support a family.

I decided to attend nursing school and become an RN.”

“RN” in big letters.

“The blue scrubs feel good.” he said, referring to the navy blue scrubs worn by registered nurses at Auburn Regional.

Bickford has even bigger plans now.

“I am getting married in September and taking a year off school to make sure I get off to a good start as a husband and nurse” he explained. “Then I plan to go back to school.”

Bickford plans to complete a four-year degree in nursing, and then possibly pursue an advanced degree.

When Josh Bickford started work at Auburn Regional Medical Center in 1996, he did not have nursing in mind as a profession.

Bickford was a 16-year-old boy, working part-time in the hospital kitchen.

“It paid better than working at a pizza or fast food place,” Bickford said.

“I felt like I was making big money.”

In the two years he worked in food services he became acquainted with nurses and other staff working at the hospital and learned about their careers. After graduating from Puyallup’s Rogers High School in 1998, he took a job as a transporter in the emergency department, taking patients from the ER to various places in the hospital.

That job led to his becoming a certified nursing assistant the following year and an emergency room technician the year after.

Bickford enjoyed his job as an ER tech and was content for awhile.

“I was earning a good living for a single person,” Bickford said, “and I was not anxious to return to school.”

Riverside edges Mountainview for fifth place

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Four times this season the Auburn Riverside and Auburn Mountainview boys water polo teams had met.

Three times during the regular season the Lions had beaten their district rivals, narrowly besting the Ravens in tight matches.

This past Saturday during the Washington State Water Polo championships at the Curtis Pool it was Auburn Riverside’s turn, the squad squeaking by Auburn Mountainview with a 7-6 overtime win in a battle for fifth- and sixth-place.

“We did it when it counted,” Ravens coach Mike Van Eaton said. “Those other three games were really close. One went into overtime and the other two were just by a couple goals.

But when it really mattered, we rose to the top.”

Auburn Riverside seemed firmly in control, with a 6-3 lead in the fourth period.

The Lions mounted a comeback, however, with senior Hunter Arnold finding the back of the goal with 2 minutes, 8 seconds left in the game. Auburn Mountainview junior Brady Gardner added a goal to bring the score to 6-5, and junior Riley King tied the game at 6-6 with less than 10 seconds left, pushing the match into

With less than a second left on the clock, Raven senior Matty Benabid delivered the victory, squeaking one past Lion goalkeeper Jackson Sulewski.

“It felt amazing,” Benabid said. “It’s nothing without my teammates, but scoring the winning goal is really

cool, especially against our rivals.”

“It feels real good, especially since we were so close in the last two games,” Auburn Riverside senior Thomas Henline said. “The first one (against Auburn Mountainview) went to double-overtime, and the other two were just one-

point losses that were really close down the stretch. It feels really good to finally pull one out like this.”

Van Eaton, still sopping wet from his victory plunge into the pool, praised the play of his team during the tourney.

Coming into this past weekend’s Washington State 3A Volleyball Championship the Auburn Mountainview girls had one thing on their mind.

“Our expectation was leaving with a trophy and nothing less,” said coach Nicole Claudon.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ Lions from page 12] On Saturday the Lions (16-5) accomplished their goal with a fifth-place finish, beating Glacier Peak 3-1 with scores of 25-18, 25-22, 21-25 and 25-21 to claim the trophy.

“The girls have been pretty good about keeping their eyes on the prize all season,” Claudon added.

For the Lions it all started at 8 a.m. this past Friday at St. Martin’s University in Lacey.

“It was an awesome game,” Claudon said.

“The had so much energy.

We were up and ready to go at 5 a.m. It was awesome to watch them play such great volleyball.”

Auburn Mountainview easily swept past Stanwood 3-1 with scores of 25-18, 20-25, 25-10 and

25-16, earning a secondround match against Prairie.

“We had an eight hour break between the games,” Claudon said. “I don’t think we showed up quite as well as we wanted to.”

Although the Lions had previously beaten Prairie – which went on to win the 3A championship – at the district tourney, the Falcons proved too much, defeating Auburn Mountainview 3-0, with scores of 25-11, 25-20 and 25-18.

“That was a little humbling,” Claudon said.

“But it definitely gave us a little spark under our butts. We were able to refocus and remember the goal and to play as a team.”

On day two of the tour-

ney the Lions earned a shot to play for fifth- and sixth-place with a 3-0 win over No. 4 ranked Mount Spokane, with scores of 25-19, 25-19 and 25-19.

“That final game was pretty exciting,” Claudon said. “We had nothing to lose, because we knew we were getting a trophy. We were pretty excited.”

Claudon credits the play of South Puget Sound League 3A MVP Sam Odren for the team’s performance this season.

“She’s our four-year varsity center,” she said.

“She’s our quarterback on the court.”

Also instrumental were sophomore hitters Molly Cichosz and senior Maya Williamson.

“Alexia Elliott-Free really stepped up and did a great job as an outside

hitter,” Claudon said. “She normally plays defensive specialist.”

The fifth-place finish is the highest placing ever for the Auburn Mountainview program, and the state appearance was the team’s seventh straight.

Auburn parade celebrates veterans past and present Auburn continued its 47-year old tradition of honoring war veterans this past Saturday with the annual Veterans Day Parade.

Beginning at 11 a.m. the parade, featuring more than 200 entries, wound its way west down Main Street, from E Street Southeast to A Street Northwest near Auburn City Hall.

The parade, one of the largest of its type west of the Mississippi River, this year featured more than 30 marching bands and local junior ROTC units, honor guards, military units and antique military vehicles.

Grand Marshal John J. Hauff, Sr. presided over the parade.

Richard (Dick) Delroy Barnard

Richard (Dick) Barnard of Browns Point passed away on Wednesday, November 7, 2012. After a courageous battle with cancer, Dick spent his last days comfortably at home—surrounded by his family; sharing memories, prayers, music… some laughter, some tears before peacefully leaving this world and going home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Born on March 18, 1928 in Cheyenne, Wyoming; Dick moved west to Washington with his mother and six siblings in the early 1930s. In 1948, Dick joined the Air Force and served his country until 1951. He then started a business career that would span some 60 plus years, owning and operating several businesses in South King County.

Away from business, Dick enjoyed spending time with his family, RVing, being a handy man, and relaxing at home in Browns Point—watching ships pass by in the bay and sunsets over the Olympic Mountains.

Dick is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Marilyn and their children: Becky Metzler, Brad (Sue) Barnard, Rick (Jana) Johnson, Steve (Wendy) Johnson, Karin (Jeremey) Greenway; 11 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and his sister, Carol Capps… He was a very special man, husband, father, grandpa, friend and more. We will miss him dearly but look forward to joining him again someday and—we look forward to celebrating his life with a memorial service at 2:00 pm on Sunday, November 25th at Christ’s Church Federal Way, located at: 941 S Dash Point Rd Federal Way; reception to follow.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the American Cancer Society. Condolences to Marilyn and the family may be left online at www.bonneywatson.com .

“So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross… and exchange it someday for a crown.”

www.auburn-reporter.com [ FEED from page 3] Program started with just three different bag types and later moved to address different dietary and cultural needs.

They purchase roughly 70 percent of their food and get about 30 percent from donations.

They also get funds from the cities of Seattle, Renton, Kenmore, Bellevue, Federal Way and Tukwila. Money from the state’s Emergency Food Assistance Program, private donations, grants and

support from faith communities rounds out the funding.

The program has one large truck, a van, a paid staff of four and two alternatively funded staff to carry out their mission. Volunteers help a great deal. Last year volunteers logged more than 2,300 hours in their warehouse.

Although they would like to have a permanent space or long-term lease agreement, their primary concern is feeding people right now, Anderson said.

On Sept. 22, the Mayor’s Day of Concern for the Hun-

gry, the community helped the program and others like it to feed the hungry.

It is a grocery store based food drive for area food banks, pantries and organizations like the Emergency Feeding Program.

Last year the day brought in 26 and a half tons of food for the Emergency Feeding Program alone.

For information on assistance or volunteer opportunities, contact the Emergency Feeding Program at 206-3290300 or visit www.emergencyfeeding.org.

Victorian Farmhouse Christmas at Neely Mansion Victorian Farmhouse Christmas at Neely Mansion – a benefit for one of the valley’s treasures – is Dec. 2.

The house and grounds reflect their legacy and that of the ethnic tenant farmers who lived there through the 1970s.

Tour times are 1, 2 and 3 p.m. Cost is $15 per person.

Advance reservations are required. To register, call 253-850-2777.
