Plans set in motion to build new high school
City: New insurance policy likely for Pacific By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
By ROBERT WHALE
It looks as if the City of Pacific will still be in business come the new year. City Council members notified residents at a meeting Monday that the City’s insurance broker has indicated that a company is interested in issuing a new policy to the beleaguered city. Guier Although the price and extent of the coverage is unknown, the council is expected to get details soon and take action when it meets Wednesday. “I feel pretty hopeful,” Council President Leanne Guier said. “It sounds like we’re going to hang on ... ” The City’s previous insurance policy through the Cities Insurance Association of Washington (CIAW) will be cancelled, effective Jan. 1. “On July 2, 2012, the CIAW provided the City of Pacific a letter canceling their

Wind’s wrath
One glance at the fallen Douglas fir in her front yard reminded Carrie Pond just how fortunate she was. The Auburn woman had fallen asleep in her recliner, watching television in the front room of her home on West Hill early Monday morning when she was awakened by a loud noise. “It was like an explosion,” she said. High winds blew down a 53-foot-tall tree that had stood on the corner of her lot. The uprooted tree struck and caused minor damage to the roof but narrowly missed the southeast side of the home, where Pond was sleeping. “I feel very, very lucky,” Pond said of the more story online… auburn-reporter.com episode.

City officials open A-B corridor By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
The City of Auburn opened the new A-B corridor on Dec. 13 after it received approval from the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC). The City, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad adjacent property owners and the UTC all recently agreed on safety measures needed to be installed with respect to the small railway spur that crosses the road. “We completed negotiations with all parties at the end of November and made our case to the UTC
this week,” said Mayor Pete Lewis. “They approved opening the road with the inclusion of interim safety measures pending the installation of full gates and lights.” The UTC also required the City to remove and clear vegetation near the railroad crossing to improve sight lines. Full signalization will be completed within the next year. “We still have work to do to comply with our agreement,” said Lewis, “but I’m very happy to announce the road is finally open.” What the UTC ratified was an agreement worked out between Mohawk Northern Plastics – which
does business as AMPAC – and the City of Auburn on the one hand and Burlington Northern Railroad Santa Fe Railroad on the other. Holding up the opening of the long-sought connection between the city’s downtown and its north end had been BNSF’s last-minute demand for a fully-signalized railroad crossing over the spur between the parts of AMPAC’s operation, and, in part, who would pay for it. Twice a week, typically between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m., AMPAC transports loads of chemicals over a private railroad spur from one part
of its plant to another. The railroad insisted that the private crossing be changed to a public crossing. AMPAC, which built its section of the A-B Street corridor first, had been on the hook for the $350,000 tab to install that fully-signalized crossing. The corridor extends A Street Northwest west of the Auburn Post Office on 3rd Street Northwest to B Street Northwest. As BNSF Spokesman Gus Melonas told the Auburn Reporter before the talks began, “the state’s and our position is that for safety reasons and with projected increased traffic that we would prefer to see the automatic warning devices included at this private crossing, with flashers and gates.”

Reichert to open Auburn office U.S. Representative Dave Reichert will open up an office in downtown Auburn early next year. The City Council on Monday agreed to lease space to the 8th District Republican Congressman in an office next to the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce in the City-owned Gambini block on South Division Street. “Washington D.C. comes to Auburn,” said Councilman John Partridge. “There’s a desk sitting by the chamber. For $75 a month, we’re going to have Congressman Dave Reichert at our fingertips.” The office opens in mid-January, said Natasha Mayer, Reichert’s communications director.

United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI) announced on Dec. 13 that it would permanently replace 72 warehouse workers who were prepared to return to work after a three-day strike, union officials said. UNFI had accepted the workers’ good-faith unconditional offer to return to work, but subsequently rescinded that commitment, the union said. As a result of UNFI’s actions, workers returned to the picket line. The company told the Associated Press it had to hire some permanent replacement workers after members of Local 117 walked out. A total of 163 drivers and warehouse workers went on an unfair labor practice strike on Dec. 10. SHAWN SKAGER, Auburn Reporter

It is now widely recognized that people who lead purposeful lives are better able to preserve their brain function. By deriving meaning from life and focusing on the future, seniors can improve cognitive function and avert dementia. From a scientific standpoint, it may be that we create more connections in our brains when we have greater purpose in life. From an anecdotal standpoint, we all know that it is easier to get out of bed and face the day ahead when we are focused on improving our lives and the lives of those around us. With this in mind, seniors are strongly urged to volunteer or even engage in a hobby that gives them a spark. PARKSIDE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY hopes that you found this topic to be both interesting and informative. We encourage our senior residents to participate in our wide variety of activity options. Our calendar of events includes entertainment, celebrations and games that are geared towards our seniors. To learn more about what we have to offer you, or a loved one, reach us today at (253) 939-1332. You are invited to tour our unique senior community, conveniently located at 2902 I Street, N.E. We have been locally owned and operated since 1972. We look forward to meeting you! P.S. Do the things that you feel passionate about.

Fire & Rescue Blotter Between Dec. 9 and Dec. 13, the Valley Regional Fire Authority responded to 172 calls for service, among them the following:
Dec. 9 Accident: 1:09 p.m., (Pacific). Firefighters responded to a one-car motor vehicle accident on Northbound Hwy 167. The driver said that he had fallen asleep at the wheel. Firefighters treated the man on scene for neck and back injuries before transporting him to MultiCare Auburn Medical Center (MAMC) for further treatment.
Dec. 12 Aid call: 12:35 a.m., (Lakeland Hills). Firefighters and King County Medics responded to a female who was unconscious and unresponsive. When VRFA firefighters arrived, Auburn police officers were administering CPR. Firefighters found the female with a pulse, and King County Medics provided her treatment for a possible overdose. A private ambulance transported her to MAMC. Aid call: 10:31 p.m., (Algona). Firefighters responding to a report of an elderly woman with slurred speech and frequent falls determined that the woman had low levels of oxygen in her blood from advanced respiratory disease. Firefighters treated her, and a
private ambulance transported her to St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way.
Dec. 13 CPR: 11:38 a.m., (Auburn). Firefighters and King County Medics performed CPR on a woman and treated her with a defibrillator, which restored a pulse. King County Medics transported her to MAMC. CPR: 15:53 p.m., (Auburn). Firefighters responding to an elderly man who had collapsed just outside of Albertsons discovered that a bystander had initiated CPR, King County Medics and VRFA firefighters performed CPR and treated the man at the scene with a defibrillator. The patient was transported with a pulse to MAMC.
Auburn truck driver arrested in Oregon Driver faces hitand-run charges after seriously injuring pedestrian Oregon State Police, with the assistance of Gilliam County Sheriff’s Office, arrested a commercial truck driver last Friday night for felony hit-and-run following a serious injury pedestrianinvolved crash along the eastbound lanes of Interstate 84 near the John Day Dam east of Rufus. The driver, Viktor Akhrimovich, 42, of Auburn, later was arrested and jailed in the
Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facility in The Dalles, Ore., for felony hitand-run. At approximately 9 p.m., Billy Joe Leggett, 52, of Goldendale, Wash., was a passenger in a vehicle that Viktor Akhrimovich became disabled on the shoulder of eastbound Interstate 84 near milepost 114. Leggett reportedly got out of the vehicle to retrieve a drive line that dropped onto the highway when he was struck
by a commercial truck that continued eastbound from the scene, police reported. Leggett was seriously injured and transported by ambulance to Mid-Columbia Medical Center in The Dalles. Several minutes after arriving on scene, OSP was notified by Gilliam County Sheriff’s Office that a deputy had located the commercial truck and driver near Arlington. The driver was arrested. OSP troopers from The Dalles Area Command office were assisted at the scene by Sherman County area fire and medical responders. The investigation is continuing.
Text-to-911 service coming to King County King County Executive Dow Constantine today applauded proposed new federal rules that would require all wireless carriers, as well as telephone text messaging applications, to deliver emergency 9-1-1 text messages in areas where emergency call centers are capable of receiving them. “Our 9-1-1 dispatchers already have the equipment to receive text messages, but right now wireless carriers don’t provide this service,” said Executive Constantine. “Once they do, we can provide better emergency response to people with hearing or speech disabilities.” The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) emphasizes that whenever possible, people should make a voice call to 9-1-1 during
an emergency. However, text-to-911 will provide a lifesaving alternative in situations where a person with a hearing or speech disability is unable to make a voice call, or where an audible 9-1-1 voice call could endanger the caller. The new rules proposed by the FCC follow an announcement by AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and two national 9-1-1 associations that they will begin major deployments of text-to-911 service in 2013, with nationwide availability by May 15, 2014. The FCC is seeking comment from carriers and third-party messaging providers as to whether this timeframe is achievable. If text-to-911 service is not available in an area, the four major phone carriers have agreed to implement auto-
mated “bounce back” error messages. This capability will be in place by June 30. King County has been actively working to upgrade the countywide Enhanced 9-1-1 system to Next Generation 9-1-1 technology for the past several years. Text-to-911 is a major milestone in this transition. All of the 9-1-1 centers throughout King County already have the equipment necessary to receive textto-911, so they will be ready to receive text messages as soon as wireless carriers offer the service. In the meantime, King County’s E-911 Program Office is conducting a Next Generation 9-1-1 pilot project. For more information about the FCC proposal, visit www.fcc.gov.
Orting man, 64, dies in truck rollover in Auburn
The King County Medical Examiner's Office last Friday identified the man as Roger S. Warren, 64, of Orting. At 10:48 a.m. firefighters from the Valley Regional Fire Authority responding to the accident learned from witnesses that Warren was still trapped in the cab.
Firefighters got him out but he was already dead. The Medical Examiner listed the cause of death as positional asphyxia. The ramp from westbound SR 167 to Highway 18 remained closed for much of the day as the Washington State Patrol investigated the accident.

City’s faulty financial thinking I read with interest, but not surprise, the article explaining what the City is thinking of doing to raise money for road repairs. Voters didn’t give them the money they wanted, so City officials are going to raise taxes. Surprised? Why doesn’t the City have the money it needs? Maybe because of a new downtown, which sports a gravel lot with a two-story concrete monument to the Cavanaugh family, which used to have a thriving business there? Maybe because of a new park, with a lake, on the West Hill, which will cost the City about $200,000? Maybe because of a median on the West Valley Highway that is growing weeds? It never ceases to amaze me that individuals and businesses are expected to live within a

The end of the world has come. Again. On Friday, for the umpteenth time in recorded human history, our world comes to an end. This prediction comes courtesy the long form Mayan calendar, which resets today, naming Dec. 21, 2012 as Earth’s final day. Although nobody seems to agree exactly on what form the end will take, you can bet your sweet bippy it will be cataclysmic and worthy of a high-budget Hollywood feature film (and it comes during the Christmas film season as well.) Some have proposed the possibility of a cosmic collision with a previously undiscovered planet (called either X or Nibiru). Originally this was supposed to have happened in 2003, but when the mystery planet failed to smash into Earth, the catastrophe was rescheduled. Others claim a solar maximum – a period of great solar activity featuring increased sunspots and solar flares – will trigger a reversal of our planet’s magnetic poles. Some theorize that previous reversals resulted in mass extinction events such as the disappearance of the dinosaur and the vanishing of fins on automobiles. Most likely the only tragedy that could come from a pole reversal would be one confused Santa Claus and scores of befuddled penguins. Another theory is that the Sun will align with a supermassive (now there’s a fun word) black hole called Sagittarius A* located in the center of our galaxy. This will obviously end badly for us, with the Earth sucked into the gravity well of Sag A* like a dust mote into a Hoover. [ more SKAGER page 6 ]

[ SKAGER from page 5 ] From there the scenarios just get crazier, with scores of weatherrelated disasters befalling us (hurricanes, tidal waves, floods, serious persistent drizzle) and geological fiascos such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes (learn to swim Southern California). I suspect that much like the countless other end of the world dates, Dec. 21, 2012 will pass with a whimper and nary a disaster. However, in the unlikely event that the Earth is visited by any of the aforementioned dire events and
does end Friday, I’d like to list a few of things I’m most thankful for about living in this lovely little section of Planet Earth known as the Puget Sound. I’m thankful for my family and the numerous friends I’ve made. I’m glad to have gotten the chance to work with my coworkers and the fine members of the community we report on. I’m thankful for getting paid to watch athletic events and for being able to illustrate and feature the many fine student athletes who embody the spirit of fair play. I’m grateful for being able to take
concert photos at two of the regions finest venues, the ShoWare Center in Kent and Auburn’s White River Amphitheatre. And mostly, I’m thankful for our many fine readers, who make it possible for me to write for a living and indulge me in my occasional flights of fancy such as this column. And if the world does end today, I’m thankful for the time I’ve had. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Reach the Reporter’s Shawn Skager at 253-833-0218, ext.5054, or sskager@ auburn-reporter.com

coverage so that we can remain a viable City. There is another possibility that has yet to be considered. So far the options considered to the lack of insurance coverage have been: A, disincorporation of the City; and B, annexation to the City of Auburn. In my opinion, neither is acceptable. Property taxes will go up. Services to our citizens, such as water quality and police protection, will decline, if not be altogether nonexistent. Crime will increase and our property values will decrease. In the event that we cannot secure insurance coverage, we should consider the possibility of a change in form of government, which would require a vote by the citizens. This change would be from a mayor/City

Council form of government to a City Council/city manager form of government. The City Council would then hire a city manager who would manage Pacific and be accountable to the City Council, which would set City policy and approve the budget very much as it does now. The mayor would not be elected as there would no longer be this position. As our current insurance provider has stated, they will cancel our coverage unless the mayor resigns or is otherwise out of office. This would accomplish that end. If we must send a ballot to the voters, this needs to be an option. I pray that our city can soon return to some sense of sanity.

This final stage of a project that began in 2006 builds on the success of three recent levee setback efforts in the Auburn Narrows Reach just upstream, all of which have allowed the river to form superior fish habitat and flood water storage within the reach. Those were: • Phase 1 of the Fenster levee setback. • The Pautzke levee setback project. • The Auburn Narrows Floodplain habitat restoration project. This latest project will extend superior fish habitat and flood water storage for another 500 feet downstream into Auburn and reconnect the river with a por-
[ LETTERS from page 5 ] I’ve been reading with interests the Auburn Reporter’s news stories about it. Out of curiosity, I even went to its City Hall to meet Mayor Cy Sun. We only talked briefly, as he had lots of things to do that day. I also got to see how the City Hall building and how the street fronting it looks like. It was like stepping back in time. The building is dilapidated and the street looked patchy. And the Senior Activity Center next to City Hall is also as dilapidated as the City Hall building. There were American flags sprouting out from some of the houses on that street, but they all looked frayed, drab and old as those buildings. Mayor Sun told me that the “corruption” of its past administration was the reason he ran for mayor of this city. He said he wanted to clean up this corruption, and on this agenda, as we all know, the people of Pacific elected him to the position, as a write-in candidate. According to Auburn Reporter’s news reports, on the first day of Mayor Sun’s meeting with the City Council, one of the members of the City Council berated him and told him, “First thing tomorrow morning, you come to my house and present to me your war medals and credentials.” Right after this incident, woes after woes befell on the mayor ... and consequently on the city.

tion of its historic floodplain and important habitat. “When the project is completed, it will be about a 2½-mile stretch of the Green River that will have been restored,” Andersen said. “That makes it one of the longest continuous areas of restoration, certainly, even down in the urban stretches of the county. It’s quite significant from a salmon habitat point of view. It really takes us a considerable way toward getting some of the salmon habitat restored in terms of the salmon recovery efforts under way.” Steelhead and chum, coho and endangered Chinook salmon are among the species in the river. The grant award is among $19.2 million the Washington Salmon Recovery Funding Board announced recently to organizations throughout the state to restore and protect rivers and other waterways to bring salmon back from the brink of extinction. “These grants are very important in Washington,” said Don “Bud” Hover, chair of the state funding board. “They give local groups the
reigned. Most recently, as reported once again by Auburn Reporter, during a City Council meeting with some Pacific City residents in attendance, when Mayor Sun attempted to address the meeting, one of the council members told him that was “out of order.” An elected mayor about to speak to his constituents was prevented from speaking? Unbelievable. How strange that this mayor elected by the people of Pacific is being disrespected and talked down to in this way, over and over. It’s disgusting. I also heard he was called “a freak and a gook.” How strange indeed, and disgusting. The City Council’s constant disrespect for this elected mayor is tantamount to disrespecting the people of Pacific who elected him. True, there is a “recall” for Mayor Sun, but is the whole town behind this recall? Or is it only the members of the City Council and their immediate families and friends, and the allies and friends of the past administration? I don’t exactly know what’s going on? I am merely an outsider looking in. A “next-door neighbor,” so to speak, bothered by all the screaming and cursing that I overhear. And, in reference to Mayor Sun’s guest editorial in the Dec. 14 issue of the Auburn Reporter, titled “Some questions about Pacific’s storm,” may I also ask these questions: “Who’s feeding the fire? Why the fire?”
money they need to fix the rivers, estuaries and bays in their communities, and they put local people to work.” All of the grant recipients will use the money to reconnect rivers and streams, remove barriers that prevent salmon from migrating, and replant riverbanks to shade and cool the water, creating places for salmon to reproduce, feed, rest and hide from predators. Recent Oregon studies showed that every $1 million spent on watershed restoration results in 15-33 new or sustained jobs, $2.2 million to $2.5 million in total economic activity, and that 80 percent of grant money is spent in the county where the project was located. Using the Oregon study formula, these new grants are estimated to provide more than 280 jobs during the next four years and more than $48 million in economic activity as grant recipients hire contractors, crews, and consultants to design and build projects, including field crews to restore riparian and shoreline areas.

Ely pointed out estimates projecting 67 percent of jobs in the state will require a postsecondary education by 2018. Only 22 percent of the South King County region’s students earn college degrees or certificates by the age of 24, with significant drop-offs among low-income students and students of color.

a toy truck, something under the tree this Christmas to call their own. “The need in our community is really high,” said Crystal Goetz, Christian education and family life ministries director at the church. “We never expected to have crowds of people lining up at 5 o’clock in the morning.” Indeed, some of the most determined began their vigil at 11 p.m. Monday. The church was ready for them, handing out numbered bracelets, telling them to go on home, to sleep in their warm beds and to come back in the morning. Between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., volunteers inside the church wore themselves out drawing from boxes of toys destined to find honored places under hundreds of trees in homes throughout the area. The church provided a warming tent in the parking lot and plenty of cookies and hot drinks. Russian, Spanish and Somali interpreters were in the parking lot to translate wishes.

KC Letho, 10, a fourth-grader at Auburn’s Holy Family School, decided to do something special this holiday season. He recently donated all of his birthday presents to the Toys for Tots program at a party at the Auburn Skate Connection. Family and friends donated to the cause. The Valley Regional Fire Authority was on hand to collect the toys for distribution.
The Marine Corps runs Toys for Tots, collecting the toys and bringing them to distribution centers like the Auburn church and DSHS (Department of Social and Health Services) offices, where they are given as holiday gifts to needy children in the community. For two weeks, Toys for Tots gave away toys throughout King County. As of late Tuesday, more than 15,000 gifts had been distributed for kids throughout the South Center area. The Auburn church got involved two years ago after DSHS asked if it would be willing to host a distribution. The unexpectedly high turnout last year caused, Goetz admitted, “a bit of a disaster” – the church didn’t participate as a church, it only rented out the space. Church officials decided that this time around would be different, that they would really seize a good opportunity to connect with the community and provide what help they could.
“We decided to really make it an event,” Goetz said. Church officials spent four months planning the distribution, working sideby-side with nearby New Day Christian Fellowship. By 1 p.m. Tuesday, the church had distributed gifts for 1,500 needy children, Auburn veterinarian and volunteer Dr. Don Edwards began handing out bracelets at midnight. He was in the parking lot again at 4:30 a.m. and stayed there until the distribution was done. “I’ve been handing out tags with numbers so people don’t have to wait in line. Everybody seems to be happy, “ Edwards said. Edwards asked, “Is everybody happy?” “Yes,” came the crowd’s response. “When somebody with a number comes back and heads straight to the front of the line, nobody says a thing. They all feel that it’s an equitable system,” said Cheryl Wuench, pastor at First United Methodist Church. more story online…
and on into 2015, work will center on the connection of the new classroom building with the Performing Arts Center and auto shop. During phase 3 in the summer of 2015 on into 2016, contractors will work on the parking lot and tennis court improvements on the north and northwest portions of the site. On another matter, Kenworthy said, the district is also starting to look for additional property for
another elementary school, probably on the south end of the district. The “specifically desired location,” Kenworthy noted, has not yet been determined. “We are also looking seriously at the need next year for portable classrooms,” Kenworthy said, adding that the recipients of the portables will be the overcrowded Lakeland and Lea Hills elementary schools.

Signs, treatments for PTSD
... Healthy Living East vs. West: What approach really works?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is estimated to affect 7-8 percent of the general population in the United States. This percentage increases to 1120 percent for those individuals returning from war. Not everyone exposed to an intense trauma or witness to a horrific tragedy, like the one that recently occurred in Connecticut, will develop this mental condition. PTSD is believed to be triggered by a complex blend of a person’s underlying personality, life experiences, hereditary factors and how the brain’s chemicals and hormones respond to stress. There is an array of symptoms associated with PTSD. Typically, symptoms develop within the first few months, but they can become present for the first time years after the initial exposure. Examples of symptoms: • Uncontrollable and intrusive thoughts about the event, flashbacks • Nightmares, difficulty sleeping • Poor concentration and/ or focus
Every year it seems there is another health, nutrition or fitness guru claiming to have the miracle cure to solve issues like losing weight, building muscle and controlling joint pain. But in the United States, we seem to continually buy into it. Before spending your hard-earned money, why not look outside the box of Western approaches to health and fitness and look into Eastern ideas such as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) or homeopathic approaches to bettering your health and fitness? For example, with TCM, many of the things we love to eat or drink every day have roots in its philosophy. It’s all about regulating the flow of chi (vital energy) and restoring our healthy energy balance. The key here is to not only look at TCM or homeopathic medicine as an alternative approach to your health and fitness but to also keep the door open to known Western medicine, health or fitness approaches. You want a balance of both at your disposal. For example, the teas we drink,

But you also can take a good multivitamin, which can give you vitamins and minerals to act as antioxidants for your body. You also can consume all organic food products, which are staples with many homeopathic philosophies. Doing all of these gives you a threepronged attack to overall better health and fitness levels. With some of the foods we eat, like steak, chicken or fish, TCM takes the bones and creates “bone soup” recipes, which have natural cartilage that help in joint pain and rebuilding the joint cartilage; the same way Western medicine prescribes glucosamine and chondroitin pills.

rolling), trigger point therapy or injections and porolotherapy. With TCM and homeopathy, you have less evasive ways to deal with pain and injuries than going under the knife from Western doctors, which I have done in the past. The point in all of this is do your own research. Don’t always believe what you see on TV, read in magazines or hear from one doctor. Seek the advice from your healthcare provider or a fitness professional, but also don’t hesitate to get second and third opinions, or go down a path of what you think will work for you. At the end of the day, only you know what’s best for your overall health and fitness. Tom “Mad Dog” Schneider is the owner and operator of Mad Dog Boot Camp Fitness in Auburn.

For the young swimmers, it was a chance to learn from the best. For Auburn’s Ariana and Emily Kukors, it was a chance to give back to the sport that has given them so much over the years. The sisters came together to put on the first ever Kukors Kamp swim clinic at the Auburn Pool last Saturday. Participants were treated to three hours of instruction and inspiration from Ariana

“This has been in the works for a long time, but this is the first,” Emily said. “We’re doing a few club clinics in Eastern Washington, and we talked a little about opening it up to this area. Rather than us coming to them, we thought it would be great for them to come to us in Auburn. And we got a great response and great turnout. “Ariana is still fresh off the (London) Olympics, and being hometown girls, we thought it was [ more kukors page 13 ]

them away from the television and video games, and getting them outside learning and using their imagination is something that is very important to me,” said Ariana, who has the world record in the 200-meter individual medley. She finished fifth in the London final. “Swimming for me is an easy way to get in touch with kids. It’s something I’m passionate about and I know,” Ariana said. The camps have evolved into a business for the Kukors. “Emily has a great story to tell people. I have my own story. My mom (Jaapje) has something else to add to the
mix,” Ariana said. “It’s a little different than what people have done before with clinics.” Emily added: “I never thought I’d come back into the swimming industry or career in the way of coaching or doing clinics or motivational speaking. But I was that 8-year-old who looked up to that successful local person, and I remember what that felt like. Now to be one of those persons with my sister is very rewarding.” In addition to helping inspire and inform swimmers, the Kukors Kamp helps swim parents, with Jaapje sharing the lessons she learned raising competitive swimmers.

“I went to one of those (camps) when my daughter was 9 or 10, and we found out she was going to be good at it,” Jaapje said. “I didn’t know anything about it because I wasn’t a swimmer, but I wanted to be a good swim parent. I was told to just be a parent. So we had one of those today just to give back to the parents.” Judging by the turnout and the reaction of the swimmers, the camp was a rousing success. “I’m a big fan of the Kukors, and I love learning about what I can do to make myself a better swimmer,” Hanger said. “I learned to just dream big and that there is not a
Waxing Poetic by
Dick Brugger
Auburn’s Official Poet Laureate
Before Nightfall
As a little boy at dusk my mother, my brothers and I got into our Buick and drove drove through woods and woods looking and looking through dense trees our noses pinned to the glass with cupped eyes gazing, gazing trees and openings, scanning meticulously, scrunching our eyes to see even one maybe two or gloriously a herd. As if frozen elegant in stature, ears alert, looking back at us in unison and profound quiet they’d lope in synchronicity like a massive symphony into the trees thunderously soundless our hearts amazingly attuned attuned to the majesty, utter majesty of deer.
dream too big.” “It was pretty cool, I’ve never actually met a celebrity or Olympian,” Mylie Hanger, 9, added. The event was a success for Emily and Ariana. “For us it’s more about inspiring,” Emily said. “Our main thought process is never giving up, believing in your coaches, relying on your teammates and always finding a way to get better. The reason people become Olympians is because they love the sport when they’re 8 years old, or 12 years old or 16 years old. So it’s about finding that
spark and keeping it alive your entire life.” “Today was so much fun,” Ariana said. “I’ve done these sorts of things before but it hasn’t been my own gig. And I really liked having that control. It was nice having Emily out of the water to describe things and me in the water interacting and seeing what was going on under the water. It was a ton of fun, and I felt like I was really able to connect with the kids for the first time. It was a great group to have here and this is home. It’s the right place to kick this off.”

OUTLOOK: The Ravens are led by Miller, who was 21st in the allaround competition at district last season. Urban, who finished 37th in the district all-around, should also contribute. Murgittroyd was expected to be a key for the squad, but an ankle injury could sideline her for the entire season. “We started the season in good shape, taking second place in our first two meets with team scores of 151 and 154.6,” Robinson said. “We’re continuing to develop some of our underclassmen to create additional depth in our team scores. Sub-(district) and district will come fast, and our goal, like all other teams, is to make it through subs and get to the district meet this year.”
